Then we’ll begin our first day together with a visit to Jaffa, the ancient port city where Saint Peter had his vision on the rooftop of Simon the tanner’s house (as recounted in Acts 10:32) and raised Tabitha from the dead (Acts 9:36). This is also where Jonah set sail from on his way to Tarshish (Jonah 1:3) and King Solomon built his port (2 Chron. 2:16) on the Mediterranean Sea.
Then we’ll continue to the Ayalon institute, where the underground Jewish forces used to produce bullets right under the noses of the British soldiers in the days before the State of Israel was established.

We’ll head north across the Sharon Plain to the excavations of the ancient city and port at Caesarea National Park. King Herod the Great built it in honor of his 
Saint Peter’s story, which we began to explore the previous day, will continue for us now as it was here that he had baptized Cornelius the Centurion. It was also from this port that Saint Paul set sail to preach in communities all over the Mediterranean Sea region, only to be later imprisoned for two years within the confines of the very same city prior to appearing here before Felix, Festus and King Agrippa. All these events are reflected in the ruins we’ll tour, including the Roman Theater, the Hippodrome, and Herod’s Palace, as well as in mosaics and other remains from the centuries when Caesarea was an important Christian center as reflected in the Crusader walls, moat, and gates in this 8 days evangelicals emphasis.

We’ll begin your day at Kibbutz Ginosar, where we’ll take in the magnificent display at the museum of the wooden Galilee Boat, dating back to the time of Jesus. The boat had been discovered, mired in the mud, on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. We’ll advance in a similar fashion ourselves, taking a boat ride across the Sea of Galilee, stopping for devotions as the waves lap quietly around the boat, bringing to mind ancient times and the meaningful events that took place here back then.
We’ll land near Capernaum and get to explore the ruins of this village, often referred to as ‘the hometown of Jesus’, with its synagogue, its church marking the home of Saint Peter, and other dwellings which have survived in this spot since the time of Jesus. Next on our route will be the site of the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes at Tabha, with its famed ancient mosaic depicting the two fishes and the five loaves that Jesus had multiplied.

Many tours tend to neglect the amazing Golan Heights, due to an unfortunate lack of time, although it is one of the most incredible areas in Israel, rich in both history and greenery.
Our day will start at Tel Dan, and archeological site preserving the town Laish, which existed
It later becomes the city that King Jeroboam decided to turn into the capital of his northern kingdom of Israel, building there a temple for the Israelites to worship at.
The most important archeological inscribing in Israel was found here and this is also the site of the second most ancient Canaanites gate in the world.
The nature reserve here protects the Dan stream, which is also the main source of water to the Sea of Galilee, providing about 50% of the waters of the upper Jordan River and allowing us to more fully enjoy nature – God’s greatest gift. This gives the opportunity to follow many, different hike routes involving water and it’s even possible to take a dip in a nice, small pond.
From Tel Dan, we will continue to the stream known as Caesarea Philippi (or the Banias), where Saint Peter was given the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Before that, the place was dedicated to Pan, the Greek Lord of shepherds, through a temple that was standing here. It is also where Agrippa the Second chose to build his palace. Yet all this amazing history will feel like just an added bonus when you find yourself in the lush and fantastic nature park reserve that we have here. Though not the biggest of stream, it nurtures the unbelievably green zone around it and there we’ll see its spectacular falls and the hanging bridge which was built across it.

In this amazing 8 days evangelicals emphasis, before we leave the Sea of Galilee region on this day, we’ll make sure to make an inspiring visit to Yardenit, the baptismal site located on the banks of the
Jordan River (if you like to get baptized please let me know before so we will be able to prepare ourselves) and at the southern tip of the Kinneret. We’ll turn south and drive along the Jordan Valley as we approach our next destination, which is the ancient city of Beit She’an. On the walls of this once-powerful capital of the Decapolis which controlled the gateway to the land of Israel, the Philistines once hung the bodies of King Saul and his three sons, whom they had defeated in battle on the nearby Mount Gilboa.

Christians who arrive here in groups often times find they enjoy raising their voices in song at the next-door Church of Saint Anne. Walking up through the Old City streets, we’ll then make our way to the point where the Via Dolorosa starts, the path of Sorrows walked by Jesus Christ. Tradition says that this is the path down which Jesus went as he carried the cross to Calvary. Today, it passes through the exotic and colorful Old City markets and leads to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
This Christian shrine is venerated by both the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox worlds as the place of crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Next,
