Update from Kurt Skelly

Dear Friends,

You have likely seen today’s news regarding military developments in the Middle East and reports connected to Israel and Iran. Whenever events like these occur, we want to communicate promptly, clearly, and calmly with you.

First, while current headlines can feel unsettling, there is no way for any of us to determine the exact timeframe or long-term implications of this situation. What we do know from experience is that moments of decisive action in the region often lead to greater long-term stability and increased security measures. In many cases, such developments ultimately contribute to a safer and more stable environment for future travel. That is encouraging news.

At this time, all of our tours scheduled for this fall remain fully on schedule. There have been no changes to our planned itineraries. We are in consistent communication with our trusted team members and partners on the ground in Israel. Their insight is invaluable, and together we are monitoring developments closely. As always, the safety and well-being of our guests is our highest priority and will continue to guide every decision we make.

We are committed to keeping you informed on a week-by-week basis. You can also find timely updates posted on the front page of our website at landofthebible.org.

There is no act
ion required from you at this time. We simply encourage you to stay informed through our official updates rather than through speculative media reporting.

We continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for wisdom among leaders in the region. The Lord remains sovereign over the nations, and we move forward with confidence and faith.

If any development arises that directly affects your tour, you will hear from us immediately.

Thank you for your continued trust in Land of the Bible Tours.

Shalom,

Kurt Skelly

No Hidden Costs! Tips? Personal listening device? Airport taxes? Fuel surcharges? Admission to ALL sites you’ll visit?
Yep, it’s all included.

Convenient Flights! Why be forced to spend the extra $300-400 to travel to New York? In many cases, we can arrange for you to depart from a nearby, major airport for little or no extra cost.

More Nights! Although a tour may be advertised as 9, 10, or 11 days, check how many nights you spend in Israel. Many times, it will only be seven. All our tours spend eight nights at beautiful, four-star hotels and full touring on the last day.
