The New Holy Land Tour provides visitors of all ages with the unique opportunity to experience the people, culture, and history of the ancient Middle East. On this 2 1/2 hour interactive Biblical teaching tour, you will explore the ancient Middle-Eastern culture in which Jesus was raised and meet characters from the time of Moses to the time of Christ.

Eureka Springs Great Passion Play Visitors have the opportunity to enjoy the educational and inspirational experience of the Holy Land Tour on our comfortable tram. As they tour through the New Holy Land, a guide will explain each exhibit. At stops along the way you meet Biblical characters who present a living history of the scriptures providing a greater understanding.

Visitors going on the New Holy Land tour at The Great Passion Play will experience new and exciting additions to the wonderful venues available on the grounds. In an effort to make the tour come even more alive, significant enhancements can be seen at Moses’ Tabernacle in the Wilderness as well as at the Sea of Galilee.

Scripture reveals the importance of God’s instructions to the priests as they performed their duties inside the Tabernacle. In 2 Chronicles 2:4, it says “Behold, I build an house to the name of the Lord my God (the Tabernacle), to dedicate it to Him, and to burn before Him sweet incense, ……..”. Then, inside the Holy of Holies, the Shekinah glory of God (the pillar of fire) burns on the mercy seat. Of course, none but the priests were privileged to enter, but through the New Holy Land Tour, we are able to receive a “visual” of what they experienced.

At the Sea of Galilee, Simon Peter talks of the overpowering experience of “walking with Jesus”, witnessing the miracles, time after time, of Jesus’ providing for His sheep. Finally, to see Jesus walk on the water and pray for the guests brings an unspeakable joy to those in attendance.

The hope is that, with such additions, understanding of the scriptures will be even sharper and more powerful in the hearts and lives of the visitors.

Each of the 38 individual exhibits in the New Holy Land Tour have been researched for historical accuracy and have been recreated as authentically as possible. Your New Holy Land Tour includes:

Speaking with a “Levitical Priest” in the full-scale replica of Moses' Tabernacle in the Wilderness.
Visiting a replica of a first century inn typical of the type where Mary and Joseph may have asked for shelter.
A first century stable typical of where Jesus was born.
Walking beside the "Sea of Galilee" with Simon Peter as he speaks of his last days with Jesus.
Visiting the upper room where Jesus and his disciples feasted for the Last Supper.
