Nazareth & Sea of Galilee Full Day Tour from Jerusalem

About this experience

Experience the Bible coming to life on this profound full-day journey through Israel’s most sacred northern landmarks. Our pilgrimage begins in Nazareth, the childhood home of Jesus. Here, you’ll explore the magnificent Church of Annunciation, an architectural marvel built over the grotto believed to be the home of Mary and Joseph, followed by the serene Church of St. Joseph.

As we sweep through the rolling hills of Cana, where water was transformed into wine, we descend toward the shimmering shores of the Sea of Galilee. Walk through the excavated ruins of ancient synagogues where Jesus once taught, and stand on the holy ground of Tabgha at the foot of the Golan Heights—the site of the miraculous multiplication of the loaves and fishes.
