Jesus Trail Hiking Package from Nazareth

Check in to your room at the 18th-Century Arab mansion: The Fauzi Azar Inn —complete with hand-painted ceilings and hanging chandeliers. Unwind in the courtyard, surrounded by an ancient water fountain and greenery, or enjoy the sunset on the balcony. The Inn staff will wake care of your needs so you can rest before your upcoming adventure.
Accommodation: The Fauzi Azar Inn (or similar location).

The day starts with a traditional and healthy Arabic breakfast: fresh vegetables, pita-bread, and richly brewed coffee. Orientation for the trail will be scheduled for this day. A Jesus Trail staff member will meet you personally to go into detail about the Trail, taking in all of your questions and adjust the hike to your own preferences, and exchange contact details so you can call him/her at any point during the hike. You will be given a pack of everything you need, including guide book, maps, luggage tags, contact numbers, and itinerary.
You can 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. Then, enjoy some free time in the city before heading to Nazareth Village for a Parable Walk through the recreated first-century farm and village. Your day finishes at the Fauzi Azar Inn, socializing and relaxing with the other guests.
Meals: Breakfast
Accommodation: The Fauzi Azar Inn

Start your day with the healthy Arabic breakfast, and get ready to hike! Leaving the Old City through its 406 steps, you will immediately be treated to your first breathtaking view of the Galilean landscape. The trail begins en route to Zippori National Park, a fascinating archaeological site, where you will spend some time within its grounds before continuing through a small village and into the bustling city of Cana, the traditional location of Jesus’ first miracle. Your third night will give you the opportunity to experience authentic Arab hospitality and local cuisine in a comfortable, homey guesthouse.
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Accommodation: Cana Wedding Guest House

The morning begins with a home-cooked breakfast —fuel for another day of exploring! Enjoy the beautiful architecture of the houses as you leave Cana and descend through Beit Keshet Forest towards a section of the Roman Roads. As the ancient remains of the Roman road between Acre and Tiberias, it was likely the path used by Jesus on his journey from Nazareth to the Sea of Galilee. Then, you will continue on to Kibbutz Lavi, one of the few Orthodox religious kibbutzim, where you will spend the night in their modern hotel and experience a kosher buffet for dinner.
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Accommodation: Kibbutz Lavi Hotel

Another kosher meal sets you up for the day. You will leave the hotel and trail through the Kibbutz farm. The first stop of the day is ‘The Horns of Hattin’ where awe-inspiring 360 panoramic views greet your from atop this extinct volcano. Next, you take the path to Nebi Shu’eib, the holiest place for the worldwide Druze community. The final stretch of the day transports you back in time through old olive groves and ancient scenery, seemingly untouched by history, as you make your way to Moshav Arbel where a cozy bed and delicious meal await you!
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Accommodation: Arbel Holiday Homes

Breakfast will kick-start the incredible, final day of your journey. Starting with a walk to Mount Arbel National Park, you will soon have the chance to see the Sea of Galilee glistening in the morning sunlight. The trail takes you down the cliff-face and into Wadi Hamam, a Bedouin Village, before guiding you on to the Galilean coastline. You will reach the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes at Taghba before continuing on to the final destination. At Capernaum, the place that Jesus chose to make him ministerial base, you can explore the ancient site and applaud your hard work! You have just walked from Nazareth to Capernaum – just like Jesus did! Now, either wait for your shuttle to pick you up from there, or consider one more walk…to the Mount of Beatitudes to be picked up form there instead.
