Your Nazareth and Sea of Galilee Tour Begins
Your adventure continues on this Nazareth and Sea of Galilee tour from Tel Aviv, exploring key biblical locations.
We depart Tel Aviv in the early morning, traveling north along the Mediterranean coast before turning inland through the Valley of Armageddon. From here, you can see Megiddo in the distance, the ancient city mentioned in the Book of Revelation. As we approach Nazareth, the Mount of Precipitation comes into view, where according to Luke 4:28-30, an angry crowd attempted to throw Jesus from the cliff.

From Cana to the Sea of Galilee Tour
A visit to Capernaum is essential during your Nazareth and Sea of Galilee tour from Tel Aviv, enriching your understanding of Jesus’ life.
Leaving Nazareth, your Galilee tour from Tel Aviv continues through Cana, where Jesus performed his first miracle by turning water into wine at a wedding feast (John 2:1-12). The road then descends toward the Sea of Galilee, and the landscape transforms as you approach this freshwater lake that sits 200 meters below sea level.
The sea itself is smaller than many expect, just 21 kilometers long, but its significance in the Gospels is immense. This is where Jesus calmed the storm, walked on water, and called Peter, Andrew, James, and John to follow him.
Sea of Galilee Tour: Capernaum and Sacred Sites
No Nazareth and Sea of Galilee tour is complete without visiting Capernaum, called “the town of Jesus” in the Gospels. Here you see the ruins of a 4th-century synagogue built over the one where Jesus taught. Nearby, a modern church hovers over the excavated remains of St. Peter’s house.
The Church of the Multiplication marks where Jesus fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fishes (Mark 6:30-44). The original 5th-century mosaic floor depicting loaves and fishes remains one of the finest examples of Byzantine art in Israel.
