Holiday Pride has a new "Pride Tour"! After a first (fully booked) Mexico tour, Holiday Pride now launches a new destination for its cultural gay tours: Tel Aviv, for the 2016 Tel Aviv Gay Pride!

The "Pride Tours by Holiday Pride” are cultural group tours designed for an optimal and exclusive travel experience to some of the most extraordinary spots on this green planet, far away from mass tourism. Safe, non-judgemental holidays allowing you to be yourselves and fun and affordable cultural tours that not only enrich the lives of the travelers but also the ones of the local communities, create a meaningful and sustainable travel experience.

After Mexico, Tel Aviv and Israel is the new destination chosen by Holiday Pride. This tour will take you to the treasures of the Holy Land combined with one of the most festive and extravagant gay event, Tel Aviv gay pride.

The 9 day cultural tour, "From the Holy Land to Tel Aviv Gay Pride," will start in Jerusalem, with visits to the old city, the Mount of Olives, Mount Zion, the Wailing Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In Jerusalem, you will also visit Yad Vashem, the impressive memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and the Israel Museum, the museum of Art and Archaeology where the manuscripts of the Dead Sea are being kept.

On the 3rd day of the tour, you will leave Jerusalem towards the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth. Floating in the Dead Sea is a must do! The Dead Sea will also be the starting point for the ascent to the fortress of Masada, a remarkable place of ancient history.

You will then head to northern Israel. On the 5th day, you will discover the Sea of Galilee, the beautiful scenery of the Golan and finally Nazareth.

The arrival in Tel Aviv is scheduled Thursday, June 2, the day before the Gay Pride parade. Time to party after those long days of sightseeing! You will enjoy all main events of this fantastic gay pride festival which attracts tens of thousands from around the world each year.

On the last day of the trip, you will visit the north coast of Israel, with stops in the ancient cities of Caesarea and Haifa. In total, this 9 day and 8 night tour in the Holy Land will take you from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv via the Dead Sea and the Galilee and is available from 2,240 euros.

Holiday Pride also offers shorter versions of this great cultural tour.

For the partygoers, there’s the "Party Weekend Package Tel Aviv Gay Pride." For 4 days and 3 nights, you will enjoy one of the most popular gay destinations: Tel Aviv, the White City, the city that never sleeps.
