כיכר הדווידקה, Ha-Nevi'im St 67, Jerusalem, 9470211, Israel
Overview
The 6-Day Jesus Trail Hike will take you on an unforgettable walk through history, culture, and spirituality. Journey through small villages, bustling cities, and sweeping farmland along a well-known trail where Jesus chose to carry out his ministry.
Beginning in Nazareth, you will visit the old Roman Galilean capital: Zippori, the location of the first miracle in Cana, a fully-functioning religious Jewish Kibbutz, ancient olive groves, Mount Arbel, and of course – the Sea of Galilee.
Along the coast, you will visit important churches, with the final destination being Capernaum: the center of much of Jesus’ ministry. An additional hike to the Mount of Beatitudes is optional, and recommended walk.
Join a free walking tour of the Old City of Nazareth, led by a local Nazarene, as they explain the incredible and moving history of the building that you have been staying in. You will be taken through the twists and turns of the Soug (market), seeing Nazareth through the eyes of a local.
