From Tel Aviv: Christian Galilee and Nazareth Day Trip

Explore the New Testament sites of Nazareth, Capernaum, the Jordan River, and the Sea of Galilee in a full-day tour with a professional guide from Tel Aviv. After pickup from your hotel in Tel Aviv, your tour begins with an air-conditioned drive to Nazareth. Hear tales of the city, known as the childhood home of Jesus, and its important role in the Christian faith. See the Church of the Annunciation where the Angel Gabriel visited the Virgin Mary in Christian scripture, and the Church of St. Joseph, believed to stand on the site of Joseph's carpentry workshop.

Continue through the village of Kafer Kana, identified as the site where Jesus transformed water into wine, and arrive at the Sea of Galilee. Pass the Church of the Multiplication and explore Capernaum on the shores of the sea. View the ruins of the synagogue that stood where Jesus taught and see the modern church that sits over St. Peter's house, where Jesus is believed to have stayed.

Pass through the waterfront city of Tiberias and arrive in Yardenit, a sacred baptism site on the Jordan River. Admire this idyllic spot and enjoy beautiful views of Mt. Tabor, known to Christians as the Mount of Transfiguration, before your tour ends back in Tel Aviv.
