DAY 12

After an early breakfast we will start our Holy Land tour heading north to the Sea of Galilee. We will have a relaxing drive along the beautiful coast of the Mediterranean Sea and stop at Caesarea Maritima (Acts 9:30 Acts 10:24-48), which was the center of early Christianity. Here Cornelius the Centurion and his household were saved and baptized (Acts 10) and it was also here where Paul made his defense before Festus and King Agrippa prior to his final journey to Rome (Acts 25 & 26).

Next we will stop at Mount Carmel (Muhraka), where Elijah issued his challenge to the False Prophets.

Then on to Megiddo (1 Kings 4:28, 9:15, 2 Kings 23:29 & Rev. 16:16), and the Valley of Armageddon (Revelation 16), to see the remains from Solomon’s days, and view the site where the Battle of Armageddon will be fought.

We will continue along the Jezreel Valley to visit the town of Nazareth (Luke 1:26, 4:16-29, Matthew 2:23). We will take in an unforgettable view of the city of Nazareth from the top of Mt. Precipice, also known as the Mount of Precipitation, or Mount of the Leap of the Lord. It is believed to be the site of the rejection of Jesus, described in Luke 4:29-30.

(* If time permits we will also visit the Church of the Annunciation).

We will drive to Cana of Galilee, where Jesus performed his first public miracle – the turning of water into wine at a wedding feast (John 2:1-11).

We will end our first day of touring Israel by driving through the Lower Galilee Region to the beautiful Sea of Galilee and the town of Tiberias. Our centrally located hotel is situated right on the town’s center and on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

We will check in and enjoy dinner at our hotel. Enjoy a free evening to walk along the shores of the Sea of Galilee and explore the town of Tiberias.
