The coast line of Israel is dotted by many points of beauty and interest. This private tour offer combines two major points of Iterest, a Roman-era metropolin, and the hometown of Jesus. It can also combine visit to other Biblical sites and points of interest. This tour is perfect for exploring the history of the early Church.
Founded some 2,000 years ago as a Roman Metropolis, Caesarea is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Israel. Its rich finds include impressive remains of its ancient Port (and its archaeological Display), a Nymphaeum, a new museum, a Crusaders Gate, the Byzantine Praetorium, a Bathouse, a unique Hippo-Stadium, a Latrine, an Herodian Palace (including possible site of Paul’s Prison), and well consarvated ancient Theatre.
On the way out of Caesarea, we could also stop for a view of the aqueduct, and then heaad to Nazareth. After a possible lunch break we will first visit the Catholic Church of Annunciation (Luke 1), and its nearby Saint Joseph Church. Strolling through the Market we visit the Synagogue church (Luke 4), and up to “Mary’s Well“, and Saint Gabriel church.
We could end the day with a panoramic view of the Jezreel valley from Mount Precipice. Among others, the Biblical site of Megiddo, is visible from Here. Time permitting, we could also visit the this significant site. By Christian tradition this is Armageddon, the site of the final battle at the end of times (Revelation 16:16).
An apocalyptic end for a great tour indeed!
Although Nazareth is so known as the hometown of Jesus, the New Testament records very little of the 30 years Jesus lived in this city.
