The Holy Land Experience is a living,
biblical history museum that takes you 7,000 miles away
and 3,000 years back in time to the land of the Bible.
Its unique combination of sights, sounds, and tastes
stimulate your senses and blend together to create a
spectacular, new experience. But above all, beyond the
fun and excitement, it is our sincere hope that you
will see God and His Word exalted that you will be encouraged
in your search for enduring truth and the ultimate meaning
of life.
There are many wonderful things to learn at The Holy
Land Experience. From the moment you pass through
the gates of our "walled city," you will
be immersed in ancient Jerusalem. The structures and
exhibits at The Holy Land Experience characterize
the style, the architecture, and the settings that
existed in the Holy Land 2,000 years ago. The Garden
Tomb, the Qumran Dead Sea Caves, the Plaza of the
Nations, the Temple of the Great King, the Jerusalem
Model, and the Wilderness Tabernacle are intricately
detailed, both inside and out, to provide you with
a clearer understanding of their biblical significance.
Imagine entering an exact replica of the Garden Tomb
where the body of the Lord Jesus Christ was buried.
In reverence, you approach the Tomb where He emerged
victorious over death. Then, at the grand entrance
to the spectacular Plaza of the Nations, walk under
a massive archway and behold the gleaming white stone
plaza surrounding you with its 30 Roman columns crowned
with gold capitals. All of this grandeur majestically
frames the imposing Temple of the Great King, the
place held in highest reverence among the Jewish people.
It is truly a breathtaking representation of the Temple
that once stood on hallowed Mt. Moriah in first-century
Jerusalem. Gathering under this towering 6-story Temple,
you will sense the awe-inspiring splendor that the
Jewish people experienced as they assembled in this
sacred place so many years ago.
The "cast" of dramatists will recount many
of the events that transpired during this pivotal
period of human history. Brief dramatic presentations
throughout the day will be augmented with special
music and theatrical events by the musicians and special
guests. Additionally, the authentically designed Oasis
Palms Cafe offers a tasty Middle-Eastern meal to add
flavor to your experience.
