Pickup included
We will leave the port of Haifa towards the Lower Galilee for about an hour's drive where we will enjoy the view of the green hills on our way, we will pass by Nazareth, and Kfar Cana, we will get to know the landscape of Jesus' childhood and we will reach the ancient Jewish village of Korizim. A Jewish village from the time of the Second Temple that is mentioned in the New Testament (Matthew) as a city that refused to accept Jesus and was cursed for that. We will see the village houses and the impressive synagogue.
We will continue on our way towards the Sea of Galilee which is about 214 meters below sea level (702 feet), on the shore of the lake we will reach Magdala. The birthplace of Mary Magdalene, a Jewish town on the shore of the Sea of Galilee during the Second Temple period. We will see the remains of the old city, the ancient synagogue, and the impressive church.
Three decades ago, after a long and dry period without rain, the lake level dropped, and by chance, during a trip along the coast, the remains of an ancient fishing boat dating back to the days of Jesus were found covered in mud.
