Step into the world of the sages, fishermen, and pilgrims who once lived along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, as we explore the remarkable archaeological sites of Kfar Nahum (Capernaum), Magdala, and Tiberias.
We begin at Kfar Nahum, known as the “Town of Jesus,” where ancient basalt houses and the impressive remains of a synagogue reveal life in a thriving first-century Jewish village. Here, the blend of Jewish and early Christian heritage brings history vividly to life.
Next, we visit Magdala, home of Mary Magdalene, where excavations have uncovered one of the most beautifully preserved Second Temple–period synagogues ever found. The intricate stone carvings and mikva’ot (ritual baths) offer a rare window into Jewish life during the Roman era.
We continue to Tiberias, a vibrant city founded by Herod Antipas in the early first century CE. Archaeological remains — including Roman streets, bathhouses, and sections of the ancient city walls — reveal the splendor and sophistication of this important Roman-age center along the Galilee.
This inspiring tour weaves together archaeology, history, and natural beauty, offering a vivid encounter with life around the Sea of Galilee during the Roman period
