This is a not-to-be-missed private day trip from Tel Aviv. Get picked up from central Tel Aviv and travel in your private air-conditioned car towards the valley of Armageddon to the Church of Annunciation and St. Joseph in Nazareth. Passing Cana and the Church of the Miracle of the Multiplication visit Capernaum, at the foot of Mount Beatitudes. Continue past Tiberias to Yardenit and pass Mount Tabor on the return journey.
You will travel north along the scenic coastal plain or HaSharon area and then turn eastwards through the plain of Armageddon with a view of biblical Megiddo. On the way to Nazareth, you can have a brief stop at the Mount of Precipitation.
Your first stop in Nazareth is at the beautiful Church of Annunciation built on the site where the angel Gabriel appeared before Mary. Adjoining it is the Church of St. Joseph, recalling the carpentry where Jesus and Joseph worked.
As you will leave Nazareth, on the way towards the Kinneret, the Sea of Galilee, we pass Cana, site of the first wonder performed by Jesus, the turning of the water to wine. On the seafront, at the foot of Mount Beatitude, you can visit both Capernaum, home of Peter, and the Benedictine Church commemorating the miracle of the Multiplication of the Loaves and the Fish.
Along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, we recall the storey of how Jesus calmed the stormy waters and walked on them. With the Golan Heights in the background, we pass modern Tiberias, built on the ruins of the city built two thousand years ago and named in honour of the Roman emperor Tiberius.
On the southern end of the Sea of Galilee, at Yardenit, there may be an opportunity for those desiring to be baptized in the waters of the Jordan River.
Your private driver will transfer you back to your accommodation in Tel Aviv.
