High-Tech and Medical Track
Please note that all travelers ages 11 and under must participate in the Family Track, and must be accompanied by an adult family member (parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, etc.). Those 12 and up may participate in any track.
The High Tech and Medical track opens with an archaeological dig in Caesarea, and then depart Tel Aviv for the Kiryat Gat World Ort Kadima Mada YOUniversity and Intel. The experience continues with the Israel Center for Medical Simulation at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center, a visit to the Google campus, and an indulgent wine tasting. You’ll have the choice to visit Yad Vashem or the Hadassah Medical Center, and will spend an extraordinary Shabbat in the Old City. The Good Samaritan Inn archaeological site, ATV experiences, the Israel Museum, the Rockefeller Museum, and biking are among the choices for activities on Shabbat.
