Airport VIP & Transfer to Tel Aviv
Welcome to Israel! We hope you had a good flight. Arrive at Ben Gurion International Airport where you will be met by our VIP airport service. This will enable you to streamline your airport experience so that you can avoid waiting in lines and make the most of your time in Israel. This service meets you at the end of the sleeve of the plane where it meets the terminal and aids with passport control and baggage (the service is always subject to security procedures, unfortunately any concerns of a security official cannot be fast tracked). Kindly note that a supplement is applicable to flights landing at Terminal 1. You will then be met by your driver who will take you to Tel Aviv in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle with plenty of room for luggage. The drive time to Tel Aviv should be around half an hour subject to traffic.
Start time: 12:00 PM
Your specialist guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel. Tel Aviv has become the fashion capital of the Middle East, and is now seen as a major global fashion destination. Indeed, it is not uncommon to see major international celebrities sporting clothing from Israeli designers, such as Nili Lotan, or Alon Livne.
These are the best known of the Israeli designers, but emerging talents have set up boutiques and ateliers on small side streets, carving out new design turfs and establishing distinct “boutique rows”, a dynamic scene which continually evolves and reshapes itself. Pomegranate Travel, in conjunction with industry insiders, offers you a personally tailored private tour guiding you to the heart of Tel Aviv’s fashion, style and design scenes. This is much more than a personal shopping experience – it is a chance to view the hidden world of designers’ workshops and studios, to sit with designers and discuss their creative inspirations, successes and challenges, and to allow them to dig into their collections and style ensembles especially for you.
Morning is your time to relax and enjoy your surroundings.
Evening start at 9pm
Tel Aviv is world renowned for its’ exciting nightlife. This evening we will head out with a specialist night owl local companion to explore some of Tel Aviv's best night spots, whether it is a hipster hangout, hidden speakeasy, elegant lounge or full on club. The tour is not only a huge amount of fun but also gives you a glimpse into the local culture of Tel Aviv as you explore how the locals relax, unwind and party.
Start time: 10:00 AM
This morning your driver will pick you up from the lobby of your hotel and together you will ascend to Jerusalem (1 hour drive). You will meet your guide at the Jaffa Gate entrance to the Old City. Today’s tour of the Old City of Jerusalem, or Al Quds القدس ,will introduce you to this place of intense sanctity to Muslims,
Jews, and Christians. Holy sites tumble over each other and your expert guide will unpeel layers of history and provide an overview of what Jerusalem means within the Islamic faith and on a wider basis to people of the Abrahamic faiths. You will visit the sacred Al Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock, the third most important pilgrimage site to Muslims all over the world. The iconic golden Dome of the Rock is built upon
the foundation stone, from which according to tradition the Prophet Muhammed rose to heaven. Strolling through the Muslim quarter you will enjoy the busy souk and admire the Islamic architecture and buildings predominantly established during the Mameluke period. As Jerusalem is a multi-faith city, you will also visit the sites most holy to the other monotheistic faiths including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Kotel (Western Wall of the Second Temple). At the end of the tour your guide will escort you to your driver who will see you back to your hotel in Tel Aviv (1 hour drive).
Today is your day of leisure to relax and enjoy your surroundings.
