Discover the Hidden Mosaic of the Galilee. A Full-Day Guided Cultural Tour of Northern Israel
Join me for an unforgettable journey through the Galilee, exploring Israel’s diverse peoples, faiths, and ancient sites. Begin in the Circassian village of Kfar Kama, learning about the unique history and heritage of this Muslim community from the Caucasus. Enjoy a museum visit, village walk, coffee, pastries, and a visit to a unique cheese factory. Continue to Lake Kinneret for lunch, then visit the Yigal Alon Peace Centre and the remarkable 2,000-year-old “Jesus Boat.” At Magdala, home of Mary Magdalene, we see one of Israel’s oldest synagogues from the time of Jesus.
We end the day at the sacred Tomb of Jethro Nabi Shu’ayb, revered by the Druze as the father-in-law of Moses & their most sacred pilgrimage site. Throughout, Simon weaves together the stories, beliefs, and traditions that make the Galilee such a living tapestry of Israel’s heritage.
