Embracing the Spiritual Heart of Nazareth

As the sun rises over the ancient city of Nazareth, the air is filled with a sense of history and spirituality that beckons travelers to explore its sacred sites. On the morning of January 18th, embark on a journey through the New Testament locales with the Biblical Sites Tour, where the stories of Jesus’ early life come alive. This tour, available from 6:40 AM to 4:40 PM, offers a comprehensive exploration of Nazareth, Tiberias, and the Sea of Galilee.

Begin your day at the Church of the Annunciation, where the Angel Gabriel is said to have visited the Virgin Mary. The architecture and atmosphere of this holy site provide a profound connection to the past. As you wander through the Church of St. Joseph, believed to stand on the site of Joseph’s carpentry workshop, the layers of history unfold before you.

The tour continues along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where you can reflect on the miracles that are said to have occurred here. The serene waters and surrounding landscapes offer a moment of peace and contemplation. As you pass through Tiberias and arrive at the Jordan River, the opportunity for a baptism ceremony at Yardenit adds a deeply personal touch to your spiritual journey.

Reviewed on 2019-08-09: This was a good tour. It’s a long day but you know that up front. We saw a lot and covered a lot of ground. The restaurant that it seems all tour groups eat at was overpriced and service was poor, but there were no other options.

A Scenic Adventure in the Galilee Mountains

On January 19th, as the weather remains pleasantly mild, venture into the wild beauty of the Galilee Mountains with the Luxurious 4x4 SUV Tour. This full-day adventure, available from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, offers a luxurious escape from the bustling city into the heart of nature.

The journey begins with a light breakfast of smoked cheese, eggs, and local bread, setting the tone for a day of exploration and discovery. As you travel in comfort in a 4x4 SUV, the landscapes unfold with breathtaking views of Acre, Rosh Pina, and the white cliffs of Rosh Hanikra. Each stop offers a unique glimpse into the region’s rich history and natural beauty.

In Nazareth, the guided tour of the old city and churches provides a deeper understanding of the cultural and religious significance of this ancient city. The Church of Annunciation, a highlight of the tour, stands as a testament to the enduring faith and history of the region.

Reviewed on 2022-07-23: A wonderful day of history, storytelling, and adventure all wrapped up in one. We enjoyed an incredible day adventure with Erez touring around the magical city of Akko and then an explosive and fantastic drive in the razors. I think our guide Erez made this trip in every way.
