Join Father John Amsberry on a pilgrimage to
$3,649
“To go in a spirit of prayer from one place to another,
from one city to another, in the area marked especially
by God’s intervention, not only helps us to live our life
as a journey, but also gives us a vivid sense of a God
who has gone before us and leads us on, who himself
set out on man’s path, a God who does not look down
on us from on high, but who became our traveling
companion.” ~John Paul II

Sample Day-by-Day Itinerary
Optional Pre Tour to Jordan (Sep7-11, 2011)
September 7 - USA - Amman
Begin your spiritual journey as we depart for the overnight flights to Amman.
September 8 - Arrive Amman - Petra Upon arrival at Amman Airport we drive to Petra. We arrive at our hotel in time for din-
ner and overnight.
September 9 - Petra Today you will enjoy a tour of Petra. This tour is a two hour walking tour. It begins with a
walk through the Siq to the Treasury. Continue through the main street with magnificent
structures on each side carved into the mountains, to the colonnaded street, ending at the
Petra Museum. Lose yourself in the history of the Nabateans who meticulously carved massive structures out of the rose colored sandstone. See the influence of the people that
followed including the architecture of the mighty Romans and a beautiful Byzantine
chapel decorated with ancient, stunning mosaics that have been carefully preserved. Enjoy
a free afternoon for shopping, exploration, or rest.
September 10- Petra - Kerak - Maeleba - Mt. Nebo - Amman After breakfast we depart for the "King's Highway". We will first visit Kerak including
the Castle of Karak, the largest of mountain-top crusader castles. Next we are off to Mad-
aba, "The City of Mosaics", to visit St. George Church where there is a clear map of the
Holy land (including Israel, Palestine & Lower Egypt). We will visit Mt. Nebo, where
Moses was laid to rest, and where the late Pope John Paul II tread on his first pilgrimage
of the millennium. Visit the Sanctuary at Nebo: the memorial of Moses, the presumed site
of his death and burial place, and a center for pilgrimages since earliest Christian times.
You'll be inspired by the biblical feel from start to finish as you experience this divine tour. Mount Nebo is one of the most revered holy sites of Jordan, for this is where Moses
was buried. The site's association with the last days of Moses is described in moving
words in Deuteromony (34:1-7). The episode of Balak and Balam (2:13-26) also took
place here. The site's other name is Pisgah: "And Moses went up from the plains of Moab
to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah which is opposite Jericho". We continue on to our
hotel in Amman for dinner and overnight.
September 11- Excursion to Dead Sea & Jerash After breakfast we depart for the Dead Sea, the lowest spot on earth. We visit the Museum
of the Dead Sea Scrolls and will also have free time for bathing in the healing salt waters.
We continue on to Jerash, nestled in a quiet valley among the mountains of Gilead, is the
grandeur of Imperial Rome being one of the largest and most well preserved sites of Ro-
man architecture in the World outside Italy. To this day, its paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, handsome theaters, spacious public squares and plazas, baths,
fountains and city walls pierced by towers and gates remain in exceptional condition.
Return to Amman for dinner and overnight.
September 12- Amman - Mediterranean Coast After breakfast we depart for Israel. Upon arrival at your hotel on the Mediterranean

geography and some of the key sites surrounding the area. This includes a dramatic view
of the Old City from the Mount of Olives, revealing a city with 4000 years of history. From this vantage point see much of what makes Jerusalem such a unique city to the three
major religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam. We then head to the village of Ein
Karem, the birthplace of St. John the Baptist and to the Church of Visitation where the
Blessed Virgin Mary visited her cousin, Elizabeth, and proclaimed the 'Magnificat'. In the

Sepulchre for Mass. After breakfast at our hotel we return to the Old City of Jerusalem to
visit St. Anne’s Church, the home of the Virgin Mary and her parents Saints Joachim and
Anne. We pass the Ecce Home where Pilate proclaimed “Behold the man”; then the Wail-ing Wall, the most holy place for Jews. Nearby is the Dome of the Rock and the Haram al
Sharif or Temple Mount. We exit at Mt Zion. At the Cenacle we visit the Upper Room of
the Last Supper. Next we go to Dormition Abbey where we believe the Blessed Mary

desert east of Jerusalem is rich in Christian tradition. Further east, just off the Roman road
that Jesus 'walked', is Wadi Qelt gorge, site of the Monastery of St. George. At the oasis
town of Jericho, visit the excavations of the oldest city in the world and view Mt. Tempta-
tion where Jesus fasted and was tempted by Satan. On the way back there is time for a
swim (or rather a float!) in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, renowned for its healing properties. In the afternoon, there will be time for you to revisit some of your

our optional travel insurance. 206 Tours is not responsible for circum-stances beyond its control. In circumstances where trip cancellations
resulting from the inability for trip to depart as scheduled, such as cancel-lations due to acts of war and/or terrorism, war, God, or nature takes place, 206 Tours is not liable for restitution. Though every effort will be
made to follow the itinerary, it should be considered as an indication of the tour, rather than a contract of places to be visited. Occasionally local religious holidays, national days, traffic conditions and other events may
necessitate changes in the sequence of visits or the missing of certain visits. We will have daily mass and strive to be in places as indicated.
However, sometimes this is not possible as the site may not be available for Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In this case an alterna-tive site for Mass will be arranged.
SPECIAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS You must report any disability requiring special attention to 206 Tours at the time of registration for any tour. We make every effort to accommodate disabled passengers by
reserving for them wheelchair assistance at airports and handicap accessi-ble rooms where available, however, we cannot guarantee and are not responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or
other independent suppliers. Be aware that all of our tours are operated outside the U.S. where the Americans with Disabilities Act is not appli-
cable and facilities for disabled individuals are limited. Most transporta-tion services, including the touring motor coaches, are not equipped with wheelchair ramps or lifts. We regret that we cannot provide individual
assistance to any tour participant for walking, dining, while in their room, on flight, getting on and off motor coaches and other vehicles, or other personal needs. A qualified and physically able companion(s) must
accompany travelers who need special assistance. It is the passenger's responsibility to arrange for such assistance prior to making their reserva-
tions. Motorized scooters are unsuitable and impossible to accommodate. 206 Tours is not responsible for any medical condition that occurs prior, during or after the tour. Additionally, airlines are not able to guarantee or
provide assistance for disabled travelers including special seating. Preg-nancy, Breast-Feeding, and Travel Pregnant women considering interna-tional travel should be advised to evaluate the potential problems associ-
ated with international travel as well as the quality of medical care available at the destination and during transit. A pregnant woman is advised to travel with at least one companion; during her pregnancy, her
level of comfort may be adversely affected by traveling. YOUNG TRAVELERS Travelers who are less than 18 years old on
the departure date must be accompanied by an adult. Due to heightened security, many countries have adopted practices to prevent international abductions of children. If a child will be traveling with adults other than
the parents or with only one parent, it is recommended that a notarized letter be written by the parents or non-traveling parent granting authoriza-tion to travel including the dates of travel. We also suggest you contact
