Itinerary

Discover natural wonders, scenic delights and ancient sites on a tour that showcases some of Israel’s most significant Christian sites. Begin your tour heading north, hugging the Mediterranean Coast and passing through Herzliya and Netanya before turning inland towards Nazareth. Marvel at the Valley of Armageddon, sight Megiddo on the horizon and visit the Mount of Precipitation, where according to the Book of Luke Jesus was thrown off the mountain. On arriving in Nazareth, visit two sites of biblical importance, the Church of Annunciation and the Church of St. Joseph, before continuing on to the Sea of Galilee.

Travelling through rolling countryside, we pass Cana where Jesus performed the miracle of turning water into wine and enjoy views of the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus gave his famous sermon. En route to the Sea of Galilee we stop in Capernaum and nearby Tabagha to visit more churches which hold significance in the bible, one the site of St. Peter’s home and one dedicated to another of Christ’s miracles, the multiplication of loaves and fishes.

On reaching Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) we will tour the shoreline taking in scenic views of the location where Jesus once walked on water and where many of his miracles were performed. Surrounded by lush farmland and with the magnificent Golan Heights as a backdrop, it is an area of stunning natural beauty. The tour passes through the ancient 2,000-year-old town of Tiberias taking you to the point where the River Jordan empties into the Sea of Galilee. This is believed to be where John baptized Jesus. You too can be baptized in the Jordan River during the tour if you wish. One the homeward journey, there is time for one last highlight, as the tour passes Mt. Tabor, site of the Transfiguration before your journey ends.
