There will be many good experiences during the course of the vacation. One will meet new people.

There are many types of holidays. The Caribbean holiday involves visiting the Caribbean Islands and doing thinks like snorkeling, scuba diving and deep sea fishing. A safari holiday will take one to Africa where one will see the big five including Lion, Rhino and Elephant. A Holy Land Holiday is a totally different kind of holiday. It is unique in all respects.

What is very unique about vacationing in the holiest places of the Middle East is that the entire experience is likely to change the life of an individual for the better.

In the western side, there is the Wailing Wall that is a very important symbol of Judaism faith.
