Haifa-Galilee-Nazareth
You will be met at the port in Haifa by your private tour guide.
Drive to the Sea of Galilee and take a boat ride to see the Genosar Boat,
a 1st century fishing boat that was discovered in 1986 when the lake receded to record low levels.
Continue to Capernaum where Jesus preached, and his disciples, Peter and Andrew made their homes.
Then, travel up the Mount of the Beatitudes, site of the Sermon on the Mount and the Miracle of the Fishes.
Visit the contemporary church at Tabga which celebrates the Miracle of the Multiplication. Note the mosaic floor from a Byzantine-era church, and the section in front of the ancient altar depicting two fish and a basket filled with loaves of bread.
Enjoy a St. Peter's fish lunch on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
Continue through Cana and then to Nazareth where Jesus spent most of his life. Today, Nazareth is home to the largest Arab population in Israel. Visit the Church of the Annunciation and St. Joseph's Grotto.
Finally, visit Mt. Carmel and the Carmelite Monastery of Muhraka to survey the site where God caused Elijah to defeat the priests of Ba'al.
You will be transferred back to the port in Haifa to rejoin your cruise.
