A land regarded by the Jews, Christians and Muslims as the biblical Holy Land, being the birth place of some of the largest religions of the world-Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Bahá’í Faith. Israel’s most sacred sites are in Jerusalem. Within its Old City, the Temple Mount complex includes the Dome of the Rock shrine, the historic Western Wall, Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. An agnostic, visiting these sights and walking the narrow cobbled winding sometimes steep alleys I had a deeply profound stirring feeling that I trod on the very ground walked by a holy Messiah. But outside this there is a modern, pulsating and thriving populace. A proud people who despite the odds of being surrounded by hostility, harsh climate have turned a barren desert into a flourishing, prosperous country. Our eclectic, irrepressible band of WOW women found plenty to create memorable moments and pleasures to indulge in- the most gratifying being shopping!!!!! We even managed a bridge foursome on a couple of quiet evenings relaxing in the hotel or just enjoying happy hour which was a good thing because there was nowhere to go in the evening in Jerusalem after a physically challenging sightseeing day. We let our hair down in Tel Aviv. Our hotel was on the shore with a separate outside cafe for breakfast where we started our day on the deck sharing tit bits with sparrows. On our first evening we discovered a small cafe with a live jazz quartet. The next night we found a sea side cafe to dine in before that we went sailing to catch the sunset. On our last night together for the pink evening with yummy food and wine we danced to the pulsating beat of Jai Ho!!!! The last afternoon before we caught our flights home some of us were at Highland Bay, a seaside cafe with a drink, music playing , a breeze blowing watching swimmers, kite surfers, sailboats go by bidding a final adieu to Israel. — **Raajika Sood**, Homemaker > This is a shout-out to WoW for organizing a wonderful trip to Bali. Even though the competition in women travel space has increased manifold in the last few years, WoW still remains my favorite! A well crafted itinerary that had the right mix of leisure & touristy activities is the reason that made me pick WoW for my Bali trip from amongst all the choices that I had. The professionalism and the agility with which WoW handles all the pre travel work is simply commendable. Whether it was visiting the numerous beautiful beaches in Bali or a ferry ride to Nusa Penida island or Kintamani and Bali Swing, everything was meticulously organized. I have always admired the competence of WoW during my past trips with them and this time was no different. Our lovely and charming buddy Heba added to the warmth of the whole experience. Her super pleasant disposition and her ever smiling face was such a delight. I and my friend changed our minds numerous times about which activities to participate in but not once did Heba let that bother her. Super enthusiastic, participative, and always willing to find ways to help…..Heba – a trillion thanks to you! Would love to do more trips with you! Our local guide Sudarya was yet another reason the whole trip was so very enjoyable. Full of knowledge and info about ‘things-to-do’ and ‘places to visit’ in Bali, Sudarya taught us some very useful phrases and words in Balinese that came in handy during our shopping sprees. Had it not been for Sudarya, we would not have been able to manage the alterations in the itinerary that we wanted. A Big thank-you to him for being such a good-natured host to a group of ever demanding ‘women’ J! All in all, I am so very glad that I chose to do Bali with WoW. I did my first ever group travel with WoW and since then, it has been my ‘go-to’ when it comes to travelling – and, I am sure that it will continue to remain so. Looking forward to many more travels with you WoW! — **Radhika Mathur**, HR Professional ## Booking Policies ### Early Bird Offers Get an Early Bird ticket with discounts.
