Why SmarTrip?

What place could be better for wedding than the Holy Land? Only in Israel you can celebrate your wedding in places, where Jesus and his disciples walked and preformed miracles, and on the next day relax at one of comfortable resorts and spas.

We will be glad to take care of all the logistics and design a tour itinerary according to your wishes, so you would have a wedding of your dreams. You can hold the ceremony at the Wedding Church in Cana or at one of the churches of Jerusalem. If after the celebration you would like to rest and relax, we offer a variety of resorts (Dead Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Sea of Galilee, mineral springs of Golan Heights etc.). If you prefer a more active pastime, we can offer you all kinds of activities (kayaking, horseback riding, Jeep tours in Judea desert) or more classical tour of religious and historical sites.
