What To Expect

Magdala

Ancient Magdala is a beautifully excavated first-century Jewish town on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. You will walk through the remains of a well-preserved synagogue, one of the earliest discovered in the region, with its stone benches and central reading stone still clearly visible. The site includes a market district, fishing and industrial installations, and several ritual baths (mikva’ot) uniquely fed by spring water. Pathways lead through residential areas, paved streets, and sections of the harbor zone, offering a vivid picture of daily life in a vibrant Galilean community. Adjacent to the archaeological park is the Duc in Altum complex, which features modern chapels, mosaics, and additional displays that complement the ancient remains and provide a thoughtful space for reflection.

Church of Mount of Beatitudes

The Church of the Mount of Beatitudes stands on a quiet hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee, traditionally marking the place where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount. The modern church, built in the 1930s, is an elegant octagonal structure symbolizing the eight Beatitudes. Its interior features marble, mosaics, and a serene central dome that creates a reflective atmosphere. We will stroll through the landscaped gardens and shaded pathways surrounding the church, designed to frame views of the lake and the hills below. The overlook offers one of the most iconic panoramas in the Galilee, helping visitors imagine the setting of Jesus’ teachings. The combination of peaceful scenery, thoughtful architecture, and deep tradition makes the Mount of Beatitudes a meaningful and memorable stop.
