The Hill Brothers have hosted tours to Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Greece and Italy. Israel is normally the focus our tours with a few days before or after our time in Israel to explore another country. Israel is the most popular country we visit and forms the core for most of our tours as we explore the biblical sites with Hebrew and Christian significance.
Turkey is a country of tremendous biblical and historical significance. We have the opportunity to retrace the steps of the Apostle Paul’s missionary journeys. There is a great deal of biblical history in Jordan and Greece. We expand the scope of our tours to explore their biblical connections and discover the mysteries of these ancient cultures. Egypt is the land of the Pharaohs and the Exodus and provides a fascinating look into ancient cultures and history. Italy provides an opportunity to explore biblical and Christian history.
