The experience
This is the most ambitious day trip on our list: a genuine flight-based excursion that puts Jerusalem, Bethlehem and the Dead Sea within reach of anyone staying on the Belek coast, without booking a separate holiday. It is built for travellers who want to see the holy places with their own eyes, whether that comes from faith, an interest in history, or simple curiosity about a city sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. Families are welcome, though the long hours suit older children best. A specialist guide handles the logistics on the ground, so you can concentrate on where you are.
The day begins in the small hours, when the bus collects you from your hotel and heads for Antalya Airport. After the flight to Ben Gurion, your guide is waiting and the coach rolls towards Jerusalem, with an early breakfast to set you up. Bethlehem comes first and the Church of the Nativity, then the group walks the lanes of the Old City before lunch. The afternoon covers the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Via Dolorosa, Temple Mount and the Western Wall. As the light softens you drive down to the Dead Sea for a float, eat dinner, and catch the evening flight home from Tel Aviv.

Good to know
Treat this as a long day rather than a relaxing one: pickups start from 03:00 and you will be back close to midnight, so plan a quiet day either side. Bring your passport, as this is an international flight, and check your own visa position before booking. Jerusalem's holy sites expect covered shoulders and knees, so pack a light scarf or long trousers even in summer. The tour runs every day; spring and autumn are the most comfortable for walking. Children aged 2-12 pay the adult rate and infants aged 0-1 travel free, but younger children may find the schedule tiring.
What to bring
- Passport
- Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees for the holy sites
- Comfortable walking shoes and light layers
- Hat, sunglasses and sun cream
- Swimsuit and towel for the Dead Sea
- Bottled water
Booking through Taxi Belek Transfer means the part of the trip closest to home is handled by people who drive these hotel roads every night. We know exactly where the coach stops at each property in Belek, Kadriye and Bogazkent, so a pre-dawn pickup is not a guessing game.

The price is fixed at £205 per person, and you pay in cash on the day rather than online in advance.
Fixed price, no prepayment. Send the date and number of guests on WhatsApp, receive a written confirmation with your pickup time, and pay on the day. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup for day excursions.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the Israel day tour from Belek cost?
The 2026 price is £205 per person, and it covers far more than the coach: return flights between Antalya and Ben Gurion, insurance, a guide who specialises in Israel, entrance tickets on the programme, and both lunch and dinner in a restaurant. Children aged 2-12 pay the same £205, while infants aged 0-1 go free. Only drinks and your own personal spending are extra.
How long is the trip and when do we get back?
Plan for roughly 21 hours away from the hotel. The operating window runs from 03:00 to 24:00, so pickup happens in the middle of the night and you return around midnight after the evening flight from Tel Aviv. It is a single day with no overnight stay in Israel, which is exactly what makes it possible to fit into a normal beach holiday. Your precise pickup time is confirmed when you book.
Can children come, and is there a child discount?
Yes, the tour is open to families and no minimum age is stated. Children aged 2-12 pay the full £205 rate, with no child discount on this tour, while infants aged 0-1 are free. Be honest with yourself about stamina: the day involves a night-time start, several hours of walking on old stone streets and a late return, so it suits school-age children better than toddlers.
Where and when will I be picked up?
A bus collects you directly from your hotel in Belek, Kadriye or Bogazkent and drives to Antalya Airport for check-in. Pickups begin from 03:00, and the exact time for your hotel depends on its position on the route; we send it to you by WhatsApp when the booking is confirmed. Be waiting in the lobby a few minutes early with your passport in hand, as the bus cannot hold up the whole group for a late arrival.
What if I need to cancel?
This excursion involves airline tickets issued in your name, so it behaves differently from a simple coach trip. If your plans change, message us on WhatsApp as early as possible and we will tell you honestly what is possible for your date; the earlier you speak to us, the more room there is to help. Payment is made in cash on the day, so there is no online charge sitting on your card while you decide.
What should I pack for the day?
Your passport is essential, as you cannot board the flight without it. Wear comfortable shoes and light clothes, and carry something to cover shoulders and knees, since the churches and the Temple Mount area require modest dress. Add a hat, sunglasses and sun cream for the open squares and the Dead Sea shore, plus a swimsuit and towel for the float. A bottle of water is wise; drinks are not included.
