Laila Tours and Travel

Laila Tours and Travel of Bethlehem has been providing quality tours and pilgrims to the Holy Land, Jordan and Egypt since 2006. We also provide outbound ticketing services for residents and visitors to the Holy Land.  Laila Tours is owned and operated by Laila Jackaman Asfoura, a lifelong member of Bethlehem’s Palestinian Christian community, and staffed by a team of local residents who are professionals in the field of tourism.

Since 2006, Laila Tours and Travel has led and organized fulfilling, personalized and top-quality pilgrimages and visits to the Holy Land for thousands of people from across the world.  Our programs have ranged from small groups and individuals needing personalized tours to large-scale pilgrimages of diocesan and religious orders that can exceed over 100 participants.

As a company, we have made the decision to provide quality personalized tour programs over standardized package tours for large-volume companies.  We find the experience of working with each of our customers and partners in a unique way more rewarding, exciting and beneficial.

Each tour is designed to fit the needs and interests of our clients, and then providing them with the best possible program and services we can.

Some of our services include:

• Designing and managing tour programs in the Holy Land, including Israel, East Jerusalem and the West Bank.  We provide planning and reservations of all services needed for a full pilgrimage, including transportation to and from Ben Gurion Airport and border crossings in Egypt and Jordan.
• Coordination with the patriarchates, churches, monastic orders and individual parishes to schedule masses, religious services, meetings, meals and accommodations in guesthouses. 
• Visits to cultural and historical sites alongside churches, monasteries and shrines.
• Providing extensions to Egypt and Jordan.
• Banquet, reception and conference organization.
• Providing walk-in booking and flight rescheduling for residents and visitors in Bethlehem.   

We work with individuals, parishes, dioceses, nonprofits and private tour companies to plan, organize and host tours.  Above all else, we strive to be the best possible tour operator and travel agency in the Holy Land.
