Travel to the shores of the Sea of Galilee — the freshwater lake where Jesus walked and preached — visiting Capernaum's astonishing 4th-century synagogue, the Mount of Beatitudes, and cruising the calm waters on a traditional wooden boat.
What to expect
Departing Acre in an air-conditioned private car, you reach the lush Jordan Valley within 45 minutes. At Capernaum, your guide walks you through the excavated homes of 1st-century fishermen and the breathtaking Byzantine synagogue built over the site where Jesus taught. A gentle cruise aboard a replica 1st-century wooden 'Jesus Boat' offers serene views of the Golan Heights. Lunch is at a waterfront restaurant in Tiberias serving the famous Saint Peter's fish fresh from the lake.
