Israel or in Hebrew "Medinat Yisrael"

Welcome to Tiberias

Located on the shores of Lake Kineret, Tiberias is Israel's lowest cities at 200 meters below sea level. From the Old City to the promenade, the central boardwalk stretches all the way to downtown. This is a lively commercial center teeming with varied restaurants, cafes, overflowing pubs, ice cream parlors, and souvenir shops. On the other side of the boardwalk is the fish market. Buy fresh fish, caught that morning, at the local market.

The Sea of Galilee

Known to Israelis as Lake Kinneret is only 13 miles by 7 miles. Although small the Sea of Galilee is one of the most visited bodies of water in the world. It lies on the ancient Via Maris, which linked Egypt to the northern empires. Much of the ministry and miracles of Jesus occurred on these very shores. Miracles such as the feeding of 5,000, the calming of the storm, and the walking on water.
This is an actual boat that dates as late as Jesus' time on earth.
