  In response to the overwhelming demand we can now offer an exclusive guided tour to the newly discovered Cave of John the Baptist at Kibbutz Tzuba. This opportunity is available to a limited number of groups. The tour includes a warm welcome at the Belmont Hotel where participants will be served coffee and pastry, and have an opportunity to meet with their professional guide who will share with them the exciting events that led to the discovery of the cave. Members of the group will proceed by bus to the cave where they will receive a detailed explanation of the site itself, followed by an opportunity for quiet retreat outside of the cave situated in the midst of the kibbutz orchards. The duration of the visit to the cave is approximately one hour. The cave tour can be experienced as part of an entire day’s activities at the Belmont Hotel that includes meals, the use of a fully equipped state of the arts lecture hall and conference center, and a beautiful reception area with a coffee shop where small meals or snacks are available. Additional guided tours may be arranged to further enhance the day, with an unforgettable visit to the Crusader Belmont Castle, the underground springs of Ein Tzuba, and the First Temple Period burial caves of Bamat ha-sela. Groups may enjoy accommodation at the hotel where guests may stay in spacious suites each provided with a private patio overlooking the vineyards and the surrounding Judean Hills. Leisure time may be enjoyed on tennis courts, a swimming pool (in season), and hikes to the vicinity.
