Private Israel travel
Private Israel travel https://privateisraeltours.travel.blog Bethlehem may no longer be the 'little town' of Christmas carols, but you don't have to go far in what is now a pulsing city to see the stories of Mary and Joseph, stars, mangers and a saviour hardwired into every paving stone, street and church. Like Jerusalem, every Christian denomination u2013 Lutheran, Syriac, Catholic, Orthodox u2013 is present here and the city positively hums with activity, its winding streets congested with traffic and its main square filled with snap-happy pilgrims scrambling to keep up with their guides. But there is plenty to see and do for even for the nonreligious. Thereu2019s a lively Old City and bazaar and numerous sites around town, including the epic Mar Saba Monastery. Many tourists also come for the street art u2013 particularly several stencils by British street artist Banksy u2013 that have turned the Israeli Separation Wall that now divides Bethlehem from Jerusalem into a vast canvas.
