Travel to Israel with Michael Lucas at a NEW PRICE! ONLY $2,755
May 26th to June 4th, with optional extension through June 8th.

"More than a biblical theme park, Lucas's Israel is a tourist destination, a place where lovely beaches beckon and muscle-bound men have sex with each other."
-Heeb Magazine

In May, I will be taking my first group trip to Israel and I want you to come with me on this exciting, fun, and action-packed journey. Everybody is talking about it, and YOU can be a part of it! Register now to travel to Israel with me for a low booking fee of $300!

Travel to Israel for 9 days / 8 nights, or extend your trip by 3 days in Eilat and on to Petra!

It is no secret that Israel is one of my favorite places in the entire world, and I travel there at least twice every year to visit my favorite parties, restaurants, historical monuments, beaches, resorts, and most importantly, all of the close friends and wonderful people I have met throughout the course of my travels. What I love about Israel is that it is extremely modern while maintaining such an amazing and diverse sense of history: You can be in urban Tel Aviv, one of the most gay-friendly cities on earth, surrounded by skyscrapers, and then drive 40 minutes to ancient Jerusalem and see craftsmanship and architecture that is over 2,000 years old. It is incredible!

Tourism in Israel has become so safe and enjoyable over the past couple of years, that many celebrities have been flocking to visit the country with their families or to travel there while on tour. Some noteworthy Israel fans include Madonna, Elton John, the Pet Shop Boys, Rod Stewart, Metallica, Sting, Paul McCartney, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Elvis Costello, and many more!

One of my favorite places that we will go is to the Dead Sea, where you can never sink and always float! I guarantee that a visit to this wonder of the world will be an experience you won’t ever forget. Midway through the trip, we will drive down to the indescribable southern resort city of Eilat. The world-renowned beaches of Eilat have the clearest waters you could ever dream to experience. The Gulf of Eilat is the perfect place to go scuba diving, or swim in the company of dolphins, and makes any vacation to Israel complete.

Don’t get me wrong: this is not your average tourist vacation. For example, I will not take you nor will I send you to any tourist restaurants! We will eat only the finest authentic Israeli cuisine preferred by the locals, and I will organize a dinner for whomever is interested with some of the top Lucas Entertainment performers, like Jonathan Agassi!

I’ll also be sure to take you to one of my favorite beaches, hidden far away from the overcrowded coastal scene: Gaash Beach. This is the premiere clothing-optional beach in Tel-Aviv known only to insiders. You can feel free to lie in the sun as nude as you’d like, enjoy the ocean, or feel free to watch any number of hot guys have sex up and down the shore! I have traveled all around the world and never encountered a beach like this one.

While this is a destination-packed trip—we have a full itinerary—there will also be free days, during which you can set out and explore the city of Tel Aviv for yourself! The locals are extremely friendly, outgoing, and curious by nature…and everybody in Israel speaks English! I will have my own activities planned during these free days, should you be interested in joining me. One of these will be an optional photo shoot with photographer Ronen Akerman, in which you can have your photo taken with some hot Israeli soldiers! When the sun sets, gay nightlife in Tel Aviv and Eilat is incandescent and sprawling. Whatever you’re interested in, you will surely find the appropriate venue in which to indulge. You can be certain that you will make a friend or two out on the town.

In addition to the friends you meet out and around, there are many close friends of mine I can’t wait to introduce you to! They will help make sure you get the best locals’ experience of Israel possible, with no time wasted at frivolous or sub-par tourist sites. We will have a professional gay tour guide with us at all times in case you have any questions or would like to delve deeper into the rich histories of our surroundings. Together we will experience the REAL Israel, in all of its beauty and wonder.

I guarantee this will be the trip of a lifetime, and I will be honored to experience it right alongside you. However, we only have room for a small group of no more than 20 travelers. Otherwise, the trip would become too much of a "pilgrimage", and that would be far too hectic! It is always best to travel in an intimate group. This is why you must book your reservation today! To register for the trip, which departs the third week of May, please pre-pay a non-refundable deposit of $300. This will come out of your total payment amount: it is not an additional expense. This deposit secures your spot on the tour of Israel. Upon receipt of your deposit, you will receive an email confirmation along with Michael Lucas' personal phone number, and you can contact him with any questions you have. You may also contact Patrik Sandberg with any inquiries before you register at patrik@lucasentertainment.com or by phone at (212) 924-5892 x13. BOOK NOW!
