About Us

Rooted in Nazareth. Guided by Faith. Dedicated to Christian Pilgrimages.

City of the Annunciation Pilgrimages is a Christian pilgrimage company based in Nazareth, the town where the Annunciation took place.

We help international travel companies organize meaningful Christian pilgrimages to the Holy Land through professional local coordination. Our role is to take care of the journey on the ground, so that pilgrims can focus on prayer, Scripture, and encounter at the holy sites.

Every itinerary is planned with attention to the group's tradition and priorities, and every arrangement is made with respect for the travel company's relationship with its clients.

Meet Our Founder

Rafat Saba

Rafat was born and raised in Nazareth. His father drove buses for visiting pilgrimage groups, and from childhood Rafat traveled with him, meeting pilgrims from many countries and growing up alongside the journeys they made to the holy sites.

Today he brings more than 15 years of professional guiding experience in the Holy Land. He combines his Christian faith, his knowledge of Scripture and the holy sites, and practical experience on the road.

Rafat sees Christian pilgrimage as an opportunity to encounter the Gospel, not merely to go sightseeing. He personally oversees local operations and group arrangements.
