Our Story
Rooted in the Holy Land. Based in Spokane.
Holy Land & Beyond creates faith-centered pilgrimages built on personal connection, cultural understanding, and trusted relationships with the people and places of the Holy Land.
A Deep Personal Connection
Holy Land & Beyond was created from a deep personal connection to the lands where biblical history unfolded. Our founder was born and raised in the Middle East and now calls Spokane, Washington home — bringing firsthand knowledge of the region's cultures, Christian communities, and sacred sites to every pilgrimage we plan.
We understand that a pilgrimage is much more than visiting historical places. It is an opportunity to walk through the landscapes of Scripture, encounter the living Christian communities of the region, and return home with a deeper connection to faith.
Our regional roots, cultural understanding, and trusted relationships allow us to create journeys filled with knowledge, hospitality, and personal care.
Our Mission
Journeys That Bring Scripture to Life
Our mission is to help Christian travelers experience the sacred places of the Bible through thoughtfully planned, faith-centered pilgrimages.
We create journeys through the Holy Land, Jordan, and Sinai that combine prayer, Scripture, Christian history, cultural understanding, and fellowship.
Every pilgrimage is designed to offer more than sightseeing — it is an invitation to reflect, discover, and grow in faith.

Our Spokane Connection
Hospitality That Brings People Together
Our commitment to hospitality is rooted in Spokane. Lebanon Restaurant & Cafe — our locally owned restaurant in the heart of downtown — has welcomed the Spokane community to experience the food, culture, and warmth of the Middle East for years. That same spirit of personal care shapes every pilgrimage we create.
Lebanon Restaurant serves as a welcoming venue for pilgrimage information evenings, church-leader meetings, and traveler gatherings — a place where guests can learn about upcoming journeys, meet our team, and experience a taste of the region before they travel.
Holy Land & Beyond and Lebanon Restaurant & Cafe are separate businesses. They share a commitment to hospitality, cultural connection, and bringing people together — but the restaurant is not part of the tour operation.
