Caesarea Maritima

Caesarea, Megiddo & Nazareth, Mt. Arbel
After breakfast, we travel by private motor coach along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea to Caesarea, where Gentiles first heard the Good News from Peter and were baptized. We’ll see the Roman Amphitheatre, hippodrome, a film on history and remains of this famous port city, and aqueduct, and then journey on to Mt. Carmel, where Elijah challenged King Ahab and the prophets of Baal. Next we travel through the Jezreel Valley to Megiddo, the Armageddon Battlefield, where archaeologists have unearthed 20 levels of civilization. We drive through the area of Cana and Nazareth, the boyhood home of Jesus. We finish our day with a panoramic overview of Galilee from Mt. Arbel. We will have dinner and overnight lodging for the next two nights in the Tiberias area on the Sea of Galilee.Read more
