Drive north through the Sharon Plain and the Carmel coast, passing Zichron Yaakov on the way, continue northeast through Menashe hills to Nazareth, renowned as the hometown of Jesus and an important Israel pilgrimage and religious center. During the time of Jesus Nazareth was a small and insignificant agricultural village, however modern day Nazareth is a bustling, growing city, home to the largest Arab community in Israel. Visit the Church of the Annunciation, the Church of Saint Joseph and the old city market.

Proceed via Cana of Galilee, view of the Church of the Wedding situated on the traditional site of Jesus first miracle. Travel through the Turean Valley to the Sea of Galilee, arrive in Tiberias overlooking the Sea of Galilee for a short sightseeing tour. Tiberias, named after the Roman Emperor Tiberius, is one of the four holy cities to Judaism in Israel.

Drive along the Sea of Galilee passing Magdala and Geinosar on the way, visit the holy sites including the Mount of Beatitudes, Tabgha-the Church of the Multiplication, and Capernaum with its ancient Galilean Syangogue.

We continue further east ascending to the Golan Heights (the south part), stop at Hashalom lookout, enjoy a breathtaking view of the Kinrot Valley and the Sea of Galilee. On the way back we make a short stop at Yardenit-the baptismal site on the Jordan river.
