- Visit the Church of the Nativity, and the cave where Jesus was born
- Walk in the Old Town to see Manger Square and old houses
Description
Take this live-streamed, interactive online experience to enjoy the panoramic views of Bethlehem and see for yourself how close it is to Jerusalem.
We will begin this tour with a brief introduction to Bethlehem and the political scenario of the area. We will visit the main attraction of Bethlehem, the Church of the Nativity, the site where Jesus Christ was born. This will include the church, which you will notice is shared by three different sects; the Greek Orthodox, the Armenians and the Roman Catholic. Next, we will see the cave underneath, which was used as a stable to keep animals. The Manager and the birth site are marked by a silver star called the Star of Bethlehem.
We will then take a walk in the old city. I will show you the Manger Square, which is featured on-air during the Christmas broadcast every year. You will also see the Main Mosque of Bethlehem and the old houses of the city, where you will learn about different religions and how they live together in such a small town.

Apart from a few technical hitches which the guide resolved, the tour went well
It was lovely to see Bethlehem clearly without masses of other visitors obstructing the sites. An idea time for me to do the tour
A beautiful tour of old Bethlehem and the Holy sepulchre, very impressive and moving

Ten of my family members participated in a most enjoyable tour, presented by a very professional, knowledgeable guide, who presented and explained the sites excellently and addressed our questions with professionalism and honesty. He guided the tour with excellence, and I strongly recommend it to everyone. All members of our group loved the tour, and one man in his eightieth year was overjoyed at seeing the holy sites of Bethlehem, which he would never get a chance to visit in real life.

This was a great experience, especially in the midst of this pandemic, it allows us to visit the sites of Bethlehem from the comfort of our own home. The tour guide was very very knowledgable and had a great balance of historical information, modern information and gave us context of the area which is great for those of us that have minimal knowledge of Bethlehem. More so, he gave us just enough info for us to be intrigued to learn more and what else we could learn/experience once we visit the city in person. Great tour!

The tour by Ramzi was an extremely informative one. I would personally recommend him to everyone visiting Bethlehem. He showed us the Cave where Jesus was born, without any internet glitches which was the icing on the cake as he managed a good connection with a hotspot which was very intelligent of him. Really an amazing and overwhelming tour.
