Elvis fans from around the world will have the chance to explore the Jewish side of Elvis with an Elvis-themed Holy Land tour experience unlike any other. Travelers will follow in the footsteps of Jesus, the original Jew, cruise the Sea of Galilee, experience the Western Wall and the ancient city of Jerusalem, float in the Dead Sea, and roam the beaches of Tel Aviv. The tour group will even make a stop at the infamous Elvis Inn Restaurant in Abu Ghosh, an Elvis-themed diner and souvenir shop popular with tourists from around the world. “It’s no secret that Elvis loved Israel," said Kevin Kern, Director of Public Relations for Elvis Presley, Enterprises, Inc.,  "and now, you can go to his favorite homeland away from Graceland, too."
