Galilee/Nazareth (Haifa), Israel

Atop Mount Carmel in northern Israel, Haifa is your gateway to the cherished cities of Galilee and Nazareth. Make your pilgrimage to Galilee, where Jesus is believed to have performed his miracles, or explore Nazareth, widely regarded as Christ’s childhood home.

Tabgha

Along the Sea of Galilee, Tabgha is the site of the feeding of the multitude, where Jesus fed thousands of hungry people with just a few loaves and fish. Commemorating these miracles is the Church of the Multiplication, featuring 4th and 5th-century remains.

Nazareth

Just west of Mount Tabor lies Nazareth, where Jesus is said to have spent his childhood. The domed Basilica of the Annunciation marks the grotto where the Archangel Gabriel appeared before the Virgin Mary and told her she would conceive a son.

Old City of Acre

Many throughout history made their mark in this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the Crusaders, the Ottomans and even Napoleon Bonaparte. Discover the Old City’s 18th-century Citadel, its impressive 12th-century Templars Tunnel and the medieval Knights Halls.
