Then we will travel on to Tabgha where the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes took place. Then we drive through the Hula Valley; ascend the Golan Heights (occupied Syria), see the usually snow-capped Mount Hermon, and visit Banias where the ruins of Caesarea Philippi is located. After a beautiful drive along the Sea of Galilee, we will return to Tiberias via the Mount of Beatitudes site of the Sermon on the Mount. We will then overnight in Tiberias (Tiberias, Israel).
Day 4: We drive from Tiberias to Cana of Galilee, where Jesus performed His first miracle turning jars of water into wine. We then continue past Marys Well into Nazareth the home of Mary and Joseph. While in Nazareth, we will visit the Nazareth Village (city depicting the early days of Jesus). Then we proceed through Jezrael and Caesarea by the Sea (Roman Coliseum where the apostle Paul was imprisoned). Then we move on to Gods favorite city Jerusalem.

Then we proceed past Qumran (where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found) and view Ein Gedi (where David confronted Saul). Then on to Masada and ascend by cable car to the mountaintop. Explore the impressive ruins of the fortress built by Herod and later the site of the heroic last stand of the Jewish zealots against the Romans. On the way back to Jerusalem, we will visit the ancient Canaanite city of Jericho (walls of Jericho). We conclude the day on the shores of the Dead Sea, where you can wade the worlds saltiest water. If you do not take the Masada - Dead Sea Excursion, this will be a free day to visit any site of your choice.
Day 7: We will drive through the City of David and then on to Bethlehem where we will see Rachels Tomb and visit the Church of Nativity.
