Our May tour was a week long 'cultural' tour and our October tour was lead by Dr. John Dickson - 'The Origins of Christianity'. We had a fantastic time with each tour and would love to visit Israel again. To see more from our trips check out this playlist: HOLY LANDS TRAVEL with Greg and Susan

I’ll be in Israel this Mother’s Day ❤ so excited for my first trip to the Holy Land. Thanks for this
How wonderful! You will have a very special Mother's Day. Back in 2018 and we did the Masada Snake Path hike on Mother's day. I did a little video of it here: ruclips.net/video/ocZysipS18s/видео.html
A friend and I will be there this May, too!! Thanks for all the info! 👍❤️
I'm heading to Israel this month too.
Thank you for this! Me and my family will be traveling to Israel this October and this video is very useful. More power and God bless 😊
Have a wonderful time. 😊
Boy! You really got me thinking. We have never taken a backpack anywhere, but I can see we will need one for each of us. The wardrobe will be a serious consideration. I think the tops you were wearing are great and with a cami. The hiking polls sound like a great idea and the shoe tips were very valuable. Thank you so much!!! ❤️
I'm so glad these tips were helpful to you. Have a wonderful time!
Such great information, and I loved the video clips from your trip! Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome. I have so much footage I'd love to make more clips - one day hopefully.
Thank you so much for sharing! My family will be going to Holy Land this October and I just listed your recommended things to bring. Great help!
You are so welcome! Have a wonderful trip. You will love it.
Same here….good to know October is super hot! We live in Florida and are used to living on the suns surface!
Thank you for posting. I'm headed to isreal in December and this had some many useful tips. ❤
Glad it was helpful! I know you will have a wonderful time.
Super helpful! I am leaving for a school trip in September and I am super excited!
How exciting! I pray you have a wonderful trip 😊🙏🏼❤️
This is so great!! I ordered all i needed from Amazon as i was watching. Lol Thank you so so much!!
That’s great. Have a wonderful trip. ❤️
Thank for all the tips shared with wonderful smile ❤
God bless you 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you! You are so welcome!
This video is so useful and great !!! I go to The holy land in October this year! Thank you so much for sharing this info!
Wonderful - I'm so excited for you!
This was very helpful for our upcoming trip.
I hope you have a wonderful trip.
Thank you so much! This is my first time going. The umbrella I think will be very helpful. Love the video.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad the tips helped. Yes, an umbrella is a great item to bring. Have a wonderful trip.
Awesome info! I'm planning on going in October of this year. Thanks for the video!
You’re very welcome. I’m so excited for you. Enjoy your time. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for that information. I'll be visiting holly land this May. God bless🙏
You're so welcome. How exciting! Have a wonderful time.
Just spotted this video on RUclips, and it was very helpful to us, as we are planning to do a cruise to the Holy Land this coming November, and your tips were very helpful. Not sure I can take as much as you packed, but we will be aware of the heat of the sun. Didn't realize it was that hot in the late fall and winter months.
I'm glad the tips are helpful! A cruise sounds awesome. Have a wonderful time.
Thank you for sharing.I will keep this in mind since we’re going there in Aug.
You're welcome. How exciting that you will be going so soon! You will love being there. I pray you have a wonderful trip.
Thank you for this video! This is so helpful!
You're so welcome!
Thank you! I am going in late November so I’m more worried about being cold than hot, but your tips are helpful!
That's wonderful to hear that you are going there. I would love to go again. Have a wonderful time.
Thank you for your experience you shared it helpful
love this you are so very helpful !!! this is going to be our first trip in June 2-10 -2023
I’m so excited for you. You will love it. I’m glad these tips were a help. 😊
This was a great help ! Thanks !
Wonderful to hear. You're welcome!
Thank you got sharing! Would love to go to a holy land someday 😄😄
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it is something else to go there and see everything in person. Makes the Bible come alive.
Thank you for this wonderful video, we’re going in May 2023!!!
Oh. How exciting! You have a whole year to look forward to your trip. We are hoping to go again in 2023 too.
I envy your going to Israel in May. In 2012, my wife and I went to Israel in JULY! Talk about hot! 114 degrees F at Ein Gedi at the Dead Sea! We thought it was humorous that every little Mom-n-Pop eating joint in the old city touted "World's Best Pizza," World's Best Falafel," and "World's Best Schnitzel"! It sounds like our tour was very much like ours. One thing to be aware of (at least on OUR tour: our last evening in Israel brought us to the Carmel winery for our farewell dinner. The table was LOADED with wonderful food, and we partook heartily. NOBODY TOLD US THESE WERE APPETIZERS!!! So, after stuffing ourselves, we had no choice but to loosen our belts and dig in to the main course! Forewarned is forearmed!!! Another suggestion, if I may: get a little Hebrew phrase book and learn a few phrases. While not being able to engage in actual conversation, I thoroughly enjoyed being able to say Good Morning, Good Evening, How Much Does This Cost, I Don't Speak Hebrew - Do You Speak English.
That's great! Thanks for sharing those tips - I'm sure those looking here will find them very helpful.
That was super helpful. I am going on a tour in Israel next week and it's nice to be prepared.
Have a wonderful trip. 😊🙏🏼
How was it? We are leaving next week.
@@shinygeorge2534 It was amazing, beyond words! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Great video!
Thanks were traveling to Holy Land tomorrow for 9 days, 4 -12 Sept from Qatar, this is very useful, Thank You.👍👏🙏😍
How exciting! I pray you have a wonderful safe trip! 🤩
Thank you for the great tips! Im going to the Holy Land with my parents this November. Since my parents are seniors, Im also going to bring electrolyte drops and a light towel that i can wet with water as the elderly are prone to heat strokes.
Im Catholic so I would also bring rosaries that I could touch on relics and gift them to loved ones.
You're very welcome - I'm glad these tips are helpful. I'm excited for you and your parents. I would hope that November wouldn't be as hot. Have a wonderful time!
Thank you for this Maam
Thanks for the tips.
You're very welcome!
We are going in November I can't wait
I’m so excited for you! Have a wonderful time. 😊
Thank you ! As I begin to prepare...
You’re very welcome. You must be so excited for your trip. Have a blessed time.
@@WrightIdeaswithSusan Yes building up :)....Thank you
I am going in June & I have watched Israel packing Ideas, but you had 5 new Ideas
Awesome. Have a wonderful time. 😊
I'm traveling to Israel in March. Thanks for the tip
That's wonderful. I'm so excited for you!
Thank you ‼️ A nice, beautiful Video ‼️
You're very welcome! thank you for your sweet message.
Thank you, going in December
You're very welcome. I imagine the weather will be a bit cooler then. Have a wonderful time!
Thank u for all the information
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much. It was most helpful.From India
Super helpful, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much!!!
You’re very welcome ☺️
Having hiking poles or a walking stick of some form is helpful. It doesn't take much of a fall to break bones. In Scotland I slipped on wet grass at the top of the moat at St Andrews Castle and broke both bones in my lower right leg.
Horrible!!!! What a nightmare on a trip. I pray you are ok! Good safety tip.
Oh dear, that must have been quite an ordeal. I certainly pray all goes smoothly on your trip to Israel. I have seen these great little walking sticks that even fold up and can fit in a purse. I think I would take one of those next time.
Thanks. Very helpful i was just there and wished I watched this video before I went
What were some of your favourite places there?
@Leolady July’23
Thanks for this video on what to expect on a trip to Israel. It was very helpful. We will be going in September.
You're so very welcome. And I'm so excited for you too.
Your absolutely incredible 🙏🏻🤍
We are planning to go on May
Oh, that is so wonderful! You will love it. I hear they have done quite a bit of renovating over the past two years too. Enjoy!
i will be in ISrael this JUne thank you for the advices and tips to bring along with me
I’m so excited for you. I’m glad my tips are helpful. I know you will love experiencing the Holy Lands.
Lovely❤
Very nice video.
Next week I'm going to Israel, thanks.
How Wonderful! I am so excited for you.
First, you provided excellent suggestions to bring on my future tip to the Holy Land Trip for this September 2023. Where did you buy your bodycross bag? What is the is the name brand. What are it's measurements? Can't find your Lemsip in California. Where can I find it? How much did you paid for the scarf? That way I won't over pay. What hiking pole do you recommend? Great job. I will check on the light dress you suggested. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you liked these ideas and they are helpful as you plan your trip. The bag is a Kipling bag, about 12 x 9 inches. I'm in Australia, so I'm not sure about Lemsip in the US. Sorry, I honestly don't remember how much anything else cost. As for the hiking pole, I only needed it for when we did a serious hike or walk. I noticed a nifty retractable cane at the chemist the other day. They seemed light and compact to slip in a bag. Maybe more useable at anytime during your tour. Have a wonderful trip. I know you will love going to the Holy Lands.
This is such a helpful video. What makeup/foundation do you wear Susan? It's so flattering!
Thank you Liz - glad you found this helpful. I really can't remember what make up I was wearing at the time. The secret is in the lighting. I had a huge hotel window with natural light and it's makes all the wrinkles disappear! :)
THANK YOU so much for your helpful packing advice. Could you please tell me the brand name of your hiking sandals-- they look so comfortable!
I’m so sorry, I can’t remember and I have thrown them out. I bought them years ago at a Kathmandu store.
This coming May I'll be there.Just want to see and to know what is Holy Land.
Thanks for the tip. We are going for the first time for 11 days in March 2023. To minimize clothes to pack, do you think it would be a good idea to do laundry there once or twice? Were you able to do laundry during your trip to Israel?
I'm pretty sure we had a few loads washed by the hotel and did a bit of handwashing in the bathroom basin too. I'm so excited you are getting to go! Enjoy!
Thank you… Very helpful video. I’m going to the Holy Land second week in July 2023. Where did you get your cross body purse and backpack?
You're very welcome. The cross body bag is a Kipling bag, about 12 x 9 inches. I found it at a bag shop - however, I do think you may be able to find it online. The backpack was from Kathmandu. Have a wonderful trip. I know you will love it!
Hi.. amazing video.. Thanks a lot for the useful infos...
did u also happen to create a video for things/soveniors to shop in Israel ;)
Glad you found it helpful. I haven’t made the vid about souvenirs. Hope to get to it one day.
I would love to see some of your pictures
Thank you Susan for the information. I am going to Israel in November. What tour did you guys use? Do mind sharing? Thank you.
How exciting that you are soon heading over to Israel. I have put the website info about our tour in the description. Good news - myselah tours is up and running again.
can i know places u visited
Hi Susan, can you tell me the make of your red travel bag, I can't find it as yet. Great video thank you for your tips !
The brand is Kipling and I believe the style is crossbody bags.
@@WrightIdeaswithSusan Thank you, so looking forward to a trip to the holy land 🙏 God bless you.
Where did you get your portable light, lovely pashimina shawl, caftan shirts and cross body bag? Loved them. Thanks so much! I go Sept 10 and know it will be a joy. Thanks Susan. You "Let your light so shine so that others may see" the Light of the world in you... #glorytotheLord #BibleTeacherToo #hugsfromTexas
I'm so happy to hear you are going to Israel. You will love it. All the various things I had and wore were things that I purchased at the time - over 4 years ago now. Also from our shops in Australia. I'm sure you have some lovely caftans in Texas. Our eldest son is traveling through Dallas at the end of the month. Wish I was there too! Have a wonderful time on your trip. God bless!
@@WrightIdeaswithSusanthanks for your reply Susan. Australia? Wow. My son, wife & 2 littles from just getting settled in Sydney AU w/ Cru to share with Int students @ Universities there for next four years..❤️ #EXCITED4themButMissThem
Where are your shops? Are you from AU? #blessingsabundant
@@marilynackerson6908 how was your trip? Did you have good weather. I just realised that I didn't reply about your son and his family. I'm in Brisbane. So glad they will be ministering here in Australia with Cru. That is so wonderful. If they are every up in Brizzy, I'd love to meet them.
Great video. Can you post links to some of the items you used/have?
Thank you. I went in 2018. I doubt many of these items are available however I’m sure there’s newer things that are even better.
Great tips !!! I am going next year in April. It will be my first time. Soo excited. That is an awesome selfie stick!!! Can I ask you what brand it is ? It looks sooo good made
I’m so excited for you. Yes, this selfie stick is great. iKlip GO is the brand. I still use it for so much of my filming.
@@WrightIdeaswithSusan thank you. 🙏🙏🌹🌹
I'm going to Israel in December
That's wonderful. I know you will really enjoy going there.
I need to know that appliance you have for removing photos off the iPhone???? 😊
Thank you so much for your information I wrote down almost everything you packed. Me and my husband we are going this year on march first time.And I keep telling my husband we need a big luggage and he insists we don’t need that, just a carry one.What do you think?
Thank you and God bless you!
I'm so excited for you that you will be going in March. The best thing about having a suitcase is you may want to purchase items while you are there. So pack it light and you will have plenty of room for bringing things home!
@@WrightIdeaswithSusan Thank you very much.
I would love to see what you purchased in the Holyland for teaching kids as well as adults.
Yes, I have to set some time aside to make that video. I really have a good idea of what items were the most helpful with my lessons.
What part of the country (or world) do you usually live in? I have a friend that didn’t think it was as hot as Texas. Just wondering. 🙂
Australia
If you don't mind me asking how much did a trip like this cost and how long did you go? Do you recommend doing a tour with a company?
We did this trip in 2018 and I would imagine the costs are very different now. In the description of my video I have a link to the myselah website and you can search the tours and find info about tours.
Very informative! What if you needed to use the restroom while hiking?
At the tourist places, they have facilities. However, our sons did one of the many hiking trails for over a week and they had to work all that it out for themselves. And they had a great time!
The one thing that I wish we would’ve taken one unit Israel was some antibiotics because when we went into the dead sea I ended up with a UTI. I want to go back to Israel so bad it’s like I hunger for it.
Hi. Thank you so much for your tips. I have a question on the selfie stick that you mentioned. Can you please write me back the name so I can find it? In the transcript it says I-klip but I’m not able to find that. Thanks for your help!
Here's the name info I could find on the selfie stick - IK Multimedia iKlip Grip Pro 4-in-1 Multi-Function Smartphone Camera Stand

@@WrightIdeaswithSusan thank you so kindly. I found it!
I Wana go this fall did you do any night time activities and for mornings how is the food there,?
Our tours usually gave us the night off to have our own free time. When in Jerusalem, we went into the old city every evening to take advantage of our time there. After a long day of touring, you often feel like just relaxing, but once you get out there, you are energised by being able to see more things in the evenings. We did have to organise our own transport, etc for the evenings. The food was great on our tours.
Hi there. Where did you buy your Red Cross-over bag from 🙋🏼♀️❤️
I bought it years ago at a random bag shop. It was in their travel bag section. I absolutely love the size and how light the material is.
What is the best size suitcase to bring because you have them with you most of the time?
It does depend on your itinerary how much you move hotels. I took a medium size suitcase with wheels. Pack light so you have room for souvenirs.
Thank you
I always wanted to go I got raked out of it
Great information! Which tour group did you go with?
We went with this company - myselah.com.au/
Any chance you can link both your walking shoes and sandals ? Thank you
I’m so sorry, It’s been years ago and I no longer have them. I seem to recall I purchased the sandals from Kathmandu.
Did you all do any games or activities on the bus to pass time while on the bus to Egypt?
I didn't go as far as Egypt but when we were on the bus our tour guide and leader would continue to give us history and background and answer questions. They had a microphone set up in the bus for that too. So much to learn and take in.
@@WrightIdeaswithSusan thanks
you're welcome!@@Sony_Hunt
Hi, i am planning and preparing myself going to israel, and i am looking forward to see Hezekiah's tunnel. May i know how did u get to go there?
Also, i want masada.
When our tour had a 'free afternoon' we looked it up on a map and found transport to take us to the area. It wasn't real easy to find. I bet they will have better maps now.
@@WrightIdeaswithSusan thank you so much.
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
So, you went to Israel on a package tour. It was not included on your tour, so when you had a free time, you went there on your own.
I have been reading the Bible cover to cover three times now. And i really am into the historic places especially those areas where it had to do with wars participated by King David down to the last king. Thats is why I really want to see Hezekiah's tunnel. It is Gihon spring and it is where Joab entered Jerusalem to defeat the Jebusites, and during Hezekiah's time, the tunnel was redirected to protect from the Assyrian invasion which did not take place because God fought for them.
Have a good look through your tour itinerary and see if it’s included. You need shoes that can get wet as you walk through water. We tried to make use of any free time instead of staying in our hotel. It is tiring but there’s so much to see and so little time.
@@WrightIdeaswithSusan i have seen the itenirary and sadly it was not included.
Have a good think and talk to your tour director and make a plan. You may be able to fit it in your free time like we did. 🙏🏼
👍👍
I’m going to Israel in a week. I don’t think it’ll be quite as hot, which makes me a little confused as to how to pack 😓😓😓
It maybe worth checking the some weather info online.
Curiosity how is it hotter in October and can you share temperatures?
I actually don’t know. But in 2018 it was definitely hot in May, but very hot in October.
Israel basically has two temperature settings: hot and hotter. Hottest time is always July and August, but it can get very hot in May and October too, in particular when there is a hot wind from the south (hamsin) coming from Africa.
Hi Polly I am going March 24 till April 2
Thank so wonderful to hear. You will love it.
Howdy from Houston, Texas. Wife and I leaving 4/16-5/5/22, traveling to Egypt, Jordan and Israel. Please any additional advice or tips? How cold does it get at night? Thanks.
Howdy. I’m so excited for you. Honestly, I cannot think of more than what I covered in the clip. The only thing I can think of is if you see something in a shop that you like, go ahead and buy it as you may not come across that item again. I wish I had bought a widows mite necklace when I had the chance. Have a blessed time. 🙏🏼😊
Do you have information for the shoes listed?
So sorry, I don't have that info or the shoes anymore. I did get the hiking sandals at Kathmandu shop.
Where did you get your crossover bag from?
I found it at a bag shop. The brand is Kipling. I believe there is a website where you can find crossbody bags.
Oh, yeah, the locals ripped us off everywhere we went. We all knew it, but we wanted the trinkets, so we went along with it.
How much money is appropriate to bring to Israel?
That’s a difficult question. So much depends on what you are planning to do and buy.
@@WrightIdeaswithSusan oh gotcha and I guess I have no idea of that either besides having a tour guide showing us the places of Jesus. I don't know what to expect lol I suppose I'll just save what I can and go from there lol
Johnwesley this year cancel to come Holy land next year we both wife and husband will come to Holy land it must be done 100% guarantee
Pray for India
I'm suctioning to your channel
My husband johnwesley coming some people care him and gods blessing on him next we both come like wife and husband fix fire holy spirit on we both
Money! Israel is very expensive everywhere.
Someone should advise you, besides Mosques and churches there are SYNAGOGUES.
Oh yes, definitely. Our tours had a specific itinerary and I only had footage of ancient ruins of some synagogues.
Please speak louder!
!Israel is a historical site of the Bible, but it’s not the promise land! It’s where that story end ! The Jews lost there land an was ship across the water bound in shackles to be sold as a commodity! I’m part of a discussion with scholars who are Jewish who recognize that the religion was spread but the original ppl was shipped to America from must likely Africa! So are biggest discussion is , is America the promise land ! An if you was to acknowledge the black ppl as being the chosen of the Bible, then that would make America the promise land! Either way I recognize Israel as a holy sight! I happy to see the old ways didnt get erased completely! Dna holds the truth , an truly the story of the Bible never stopped! We are living the next chapter right as we speak! Guess we will no when they rebuild the temple!🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏾
Israel is abeautiful arabic land of palestine
Viva israel🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
