One of the most unique places you'll visit in Israel. There are many beautiful along the lake and campsites.

Sea of Galilee aka Lake Tiberias. Is the famous lake where JESUS walked on it and also calmed the storm. It’s also the lowest fresh water lake on earth. Peaceful lake indeed and breeze was so cool.

An amazing place to see with my own eyes. I read all about this place and Jesus' ministry here. I also enjoyed sailing on the Sea of Galilee. Luckily, it was a calm and beautiful day.

The Sea of Galilee is one of my favorite spots in Israel. This is a spot where you really feel the presence of Jesus.

This is one of my best experiences in Israel, you will be enthuse and captivated if you ever visit this area, especially if you’re of the Christian faith. Take a tour one day and go experience a little of history.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

I visited this place with friends, you should prepare yourself very well emotionally and spiritually, it's not like any museum, the way it design is really unique and the narrative meanwhile the diversity of the contents,the way they present in the same time the politics aspects. I hope this place will be more open to accepting people from different perspectives and religions. The location of this place is provocative for some people and neighbors, that's what I heard.

Outstanding. A must see if you come to Israel. The museum has a terrific, modern architecture with plenty of significance. The displays are in chronological order. I thought I knew a lot about the Holocaust and found out I knew very little. The displays are super powerful.

Absolutely fascinating place. You'll need a booking reservation. This can be completed on arrival, but entry could be delayed. Bags aren't permitted. Free lockers are available downstairs. There is more to the place than you may think. Be sure you have plenty of time. It's definitely worth the time.

A must visit museum for every person on the planet. The horrible history our not that distant ancestors experienced must not be forgotten and learned in the near and distant future. The visit takes around two hours and includes lots of exhibits, interview with survivors ands lots of interesting reading materials. The building itself is very impressive and the view in the end is mesmerizing. Note that you must have a green pass to enter.

Very informative and attractive museum to understand the WWII and how Jew were killed by Nazi. It’s a sad history showing the loss of humanity in the era of wartime. We need to learn from the history. Need to go the Children Memorial as you will be impressed.

A highly emotional experience. The exhibition is finely thought-out and presented, fully encapsulating the reasons, results and outcome of the Holocaust. The complex also includes several memorials set around the park. Admittance is free, so there is no reason that precludes the curious visitor of visiting the museum. A must-visit when you’re in Jerusalem.

An important place to visit in Israel cause it makes u aware and always reminded of history’s horror during the most unforgettable tragedy in history the Holocaust! U cant take pics here in respect for those men women n children who perished... it was a sad visit n just quietly looking n reading thru stories of what seems like from horror movies of suffering n deaths but there was also stories of courage n strength of faith n hope... my unforgettable visit was short cuz i was alone n late coming ... i only took pics outside the bldg. i would like to visit again n even go to the library... im not a jew but forever loves Israel n the Jewish people!.. much respect n prayers to all victims of this horrific crime n the their families.. may their memories forever be a blessing!.. 🙏

Save your time with other small museums and go for the biggest, most interesting, and best museum in Israel. Here you’ll see with your own eyes treasures you never imagined existed- incredibly ancient archaeological findings, breathtaking classical art, and beautiful contemporary works.

This is a must destination you can't afford to miss during your stay in Jerusalem. A detail visit will take a full day. You could check many antiquits out according to different history period of Jerusalem. The main difference between Tower of David and here is that many exclusive antitiquits are in display. The Tower of David, on the other hand, is mainly fous on history narrative.

This was the most impressive museum we have ever been to! We enjoyed it so much we went twice during our time in Jerusalem! Thinking we were just going to see important Israeli artifacts, we were extremely surprised to see archaeological remains from around the world, painting a picture of the evolution of civilization. There were also Jewish displays of life and art, modern and contemporary art from around the world, and the most amazing outdoor display of a replica of Jerusalem’s Old City during the time of The Second Temple. The biggest treat were The Dead Sea Scrolls, which I did not know much about until seeing this exhibit. Excellent collection!

Lovely museum. Highly recommend. I would recommend the museum provide more details for the artifact descriptions and better directions on how to navigate the exhibits as we double backed and got lost a few times.

It was very educational. Raining outside and roof was leaking along the walls when you walk in. You can spend all day here if you’re really into archaeology and history.

This was a highlight of our trip. It's a huge museum with lots of various exhibits with various themes and overall, it's very well done. It is very big though, and directions to certain exhibits weren't as clear as we'd hope so we did waste some time looking around for things as it's not labeled well. With that said, there's a lot to see and learn about. The must see is the Shrine of the Book where you can see the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran. There are a lot of archaeological artifacts all throughout this massive place and so getting here early in the day is advised so you can see as much as you want without having to rush. When we were there, they had replicas of various old synagogues from different corners of the world and it was very interesting. I could ramble on and on about everything there is to do there, but it's forever changing, so when you know you're going to the area, look up what they have showing and head to those exhibits first. Based on the fact that there's so much to take in and exhibits that change often, this is definitely a place you can come to several times. There's a beautiful gift shop at the exit (of course) and I can't really speak to parking much as we took a taxi there and back, but definitely be sure not to miss out on a visit here when you're in Jerusalem.

I can't believe I have lived in Israel for 27 years and it took me this long to visit this incredible museum. I felt connected to the powerful history of this important city in a way that I never had before. I needed more time to explore than I realized that I would and I will return soon.

One of my favorite spots in Jerusalem! you can grab fresh fruits, veggies, and groceries, and the food in the market (and all the little restaurants around it) is just amazing.

Mahane Yehuda is a charming market in Jerusalem, full of colors, flavors, and cultures with a unique Jerusalem vibe. The market is lively and vibrant, though some shops can be expensive, and it’s often better to carry cash. Open most days, it gets very busy on Thursdays and Fridays, and is closed on Saturdays. Drivers should note there are many parking inspectors, and parking is paid – obeying the rules is recommended.

Best Israeli market experience. Small businesses good prices and everything you need as long as you can carry it or bring a wheeled shopping cart. Best coffee I ever had at Shuk Cafe. Fresh fish, meats, vegetables and fruit, candy assortments, baked goods, souvenirs, loud and noisy real authentic marketplace.

One of the best markets I have been to in Israel. Extremely clean, and the place sells such a huge variety of items (fresh fruits, dried fruits, fish, sweets such as halva and baklava). There are many food options in or around the market, so it is a good place to grab some lunch or a bite if you are hungry. Definitely a good place to buy some Israeli snacks home

I learned about this market from friends who went and took a culinary tour here. I saw several of those tours and people looked like they were really enjoying it. I walked around on my own and it took a few hours. There are loads of fruit and vegetable stands, halvah stores, olives, spices, candy, a few Judaic stores, cell phone stores, meat and fish stands, places for gifts and loads of restaurants. It’s a great place to shop.

Probably the biggest food market in the country, and maybe the oldest one. It is way over fruits, vegetables, and food. People can enjoy great pubs here, restaurants with global and local food, an amazing atmosphere, and tourists from many countries.

Perfect to know the local life. You can get very nice street food there. Delicious pita, fresh fruit and Israel beer. We visited it almost everyday while stayed in Jerusalem. Recommended!

A quite and serene oasis tucked inside the city. A remarkable place. Don't visit with a rush, properly take in the place. The staff seemed very nice, very authentic. This place was the last place we visited in Jerusalem, and it was very very special. I'm glad it we left it last, and I'm glad I was a part of a very small group (of five), and it was pretty quiet the time we visited the place (Sunday morning). Oh, and in case you're wondering. The tomb was empty.

Although there is no absolute certainty that this was, in fact, the tomb where Jesus was laid and from which he rose, its internal structure is exactly the same as that described in Holy Scripture. The place is wonderfully well maintained. When in Jerusalem, a visit to this place is a must. Beautiful and exciting!

It's been 35 years since my first visit. The garden is absolutely beautiful, peaceful and fully accessible. I also loved meeting Thomas and Bella the resident cats!

Highly qualified guides do a great job of presenting the evidence that this is the actual site of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The grounds are beautifully maintained and there are multiple sites for group meetings for lectures. Group admissions are regulated so that the grounds don’t become crowded. You can enter and view the Garden Tomb.

Beautiful and meaningful place. Entrance free. After exiting garden on the right side about 30 meters from exit doors is small caffe. To be honest - up to date best coffee in Israel.

For non Catholic Christians (I'm Catholic) they believe Christ was crucified and hurried here. I've been to both and I don't care both are plausible and actually very close to each other. So I have no problem with either speculation. I love them both. As an adult I can say I wept like I never thought I could.

Strangely serene place. Beautiful garden, very carefully tended. The question about this perhaps being Christ's tomb really hurts home when you see the place: proximity to major road to Damascus gate, skull formation in Rock, wine press, and tomb in quarry. Quite worth the visit. Free!

Fntastic experience. I strongly recoment going from the bottom to the top using, not the road, but the stairs. It will give you the opportunity to visit the valley of the kings. At the bottom of the valley, and then to duscover amzing views of old Jeruslem, the wall, the valley, and the miriad of tumbs, step by step. Better if you start your visit at 15:30 or 16:00 so that you can appreciate the sunset from the top.

Such an amazing spot to visit. The views over Jerusalem from the top are incredible. The hike up is steep and takes some time, but is definitely worth it. The views are especially amazing during sunset.

The Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem’s Old City, offers one of the most iconic views of the city. From its slopes, you can see the ancient walls, the Dome of the Rock, and the full sweep of Jerusalem’s layered past. Beyond the view, the Mount is rich in history and culture. It’s been a burial site for over 3,000 years and holds deep significance in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Landmarks like the ancient Jewish cemetery, the Garden of Gethsemane, and several historic churches reflect the area’s central role in the story of Jerusalem. Even for non-religious visitors, walking among the olive trees and centuries-old paths is a powerful experience. The mix of quiet, history, and panoramic beauty makes it one of the city’s most memorable spots. ***Visit early or late in the day for softer light and fewer crowds.

From here you can oversee the entire city of Jerusalem. It's a beautiful spot to be. This view is just incredible and to see the historic places from above is really special. You won't regret it to come to this Place. It has a lot to offer.

The best spot to see the old Jerusalem. The sunset view is amazing. The old jerusalem Panorama is breathtaking. It's a must place to visit. The Church of Ascension is also located here.

This is where you get the iconic photo of old city Jerusalem. It is in walking distance from old city, just exit from lion gate and walk up the hill. Taxi will cost you about 10 usd but since it is about a half an hour walk I recommend walking. There is also a viewing area specifically for taking the photos

Amazing place to see the Old City from a high point of view. It is really wonderful to see the sunset as the lights start to come on, something which I could call magical. Getting here can be a bit confusing and tiring in the summer, but it's completely worth it.

We went to the tour of the deaf. Incredible, engaging experience. Very much recommended for both kids and adults. Amazing staff! Our guide Dorit couldn’t have been more from the heart.

Came as a family of 4 to enjoy an exhibition together and was told that babies aren't allowed. Not in strollers, not in carriers. Apparently it is written online but It seems a bit odd to me that a children's museum would discriminate against the youngest of children... anyways, I'm sitting here with the baby for an hour while my husband and son go through the exhibit.

Amazing concept! The museum isn’t just for kids — it’s built around interactive experiences like “Dialogue in the Dark” and “Invitation to Silence.” These tours are powerful and eye-opening, showing what life is like for people with visual or hearing impairments. It’s educational, emotional, and incredibly memorable. Highly recommend for families and adults alike.

A truly lovely place for children and parents. The theater was great, and our children had a lot of fun.

It’s not a museum! It’s a venue for short performances/workshops. To call it a museum is so misleading. Also, the cafe is not a cafe! It’s a shop for junk food and candy. Disappointing

A truly lovely place for children and parents. The theater was great, and our children had a lot of fun. Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes

Thank you very much for a multi-age experience. Highly recommend.

Hello) Yes, we really enjoyed our visit to you. It's hard to single out what we remember most because everything is amazing. The greenhouse with orchids is incredible, the store at the entrance also fits in great. Lots of photos from the petting zoo with parrots. The only thing I would like to recommend improving is the central fountain. Where the lake is. Unfortunately, it visually spoils the whole picture of the park. Everything around is blooming and smelling, you admire this magnificence. And in the very center there is dirty and blooming water and rusty iron structures on the fountain. I would recommend painting the metal of the fountain and raising the water level in the lake. In addition, it would be possible to make a small garden on the lake, for example, by planting a blooming lotus 🪷 or a water lily, but not reeds. And improve the water filtration. In this case, the water in the lake would become crystal clear and the garden would be 200% beautiful, not 100%. We are very pleased, thank you

Great place to take kids and enjoy nature! A bit pricey, but you do get a nice experience and as expected with costs in Israel. Certainly worth visiting at least once!

The most tender and unique impressions. We were here 9 years ago. And it was very nice to visit the park again. Words cannot convey anything - come!

So arrived 75 mins before closing and admittedly we didn’t check the entrance prices , crazy that a family of five has to pay the full price to gain access so late in the day and what’s more they have a 1+1 deal on Amex but you have to have the physical card won’t let you pay using the digital card. So just two of us went in the other 3 waited in the coffee shop. Need to have some sort of scheme for late visitors and sort out the Amex pay using the app like every other establishment . 400 shekels for an hours entertainment is expensive even for Israel.

Lucky for us we arrived very early on a weekday, and it was a great decision! Free parking, close to the entrance. The staff was nice and welcoming. It’s nice to go through the Garden and see all of the beautiful plants and trees, you can actually buy almost any flower or plant you see inside. The place is very clean and organized. I would skip the “water show”, seems like it didn’t had maintenance in a while and most of it doesn’t really work...

Beautiful place, has a butterfly garden. Wide variety of plants and vases to buy. Lots of activities for kids.

Beautiful and highly maintained park. Excellent for kids and families. My doughter didn't want to leave Amazing exposure to exotic plants and flowers with huge variety of orchids. Enjoy!!!

a really beautiful well groomed garden in an amazing slice of nature with a strong and important connection to Jewish and Israeli history. the garden itself and the surrounding panoramic views are something to behold, and the fact this is the final resting place of Baron Rothschild and a memorial to other Rothschild family members make this place a worthwhile destination. very enjoyable on a day with good weather. not to mention entry is free (though parking is not).

Beautiful park as always! I've visited many times, and it never fails to leave a great impression. The flowers are colorful and well-kept, the trees and green areas are lush, and the roses smell amazing. It's a lovely place to walk around, relax, and enjoy nature. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the water areas - they could use a bit more care and maintenance. Still, it's a wonderful and peaceful park that's always fun to visit.

Perfect visit for the open space, we'll maintained gardens combined with the modern history of Israel (well, compared to the rich history of the land, I'd say late 18th-20th century is modern:) It's 30nis for private car, so best to join and not drive each with thier own car. There is the site website which gives lots of info about the gardens and the connection and history to Baron Rothchild, which is buried in the gardens center. The trail is well paved and will fit anyone including wheelchairs. There are organised toilets at the entrance and water fountains inside. No pets or food allowed in the fardes, but yes to the outer trails. These are memorial living gardens and not picnic area. Outside the gardens there are trails which are also great to hike and some take you westward to amazing views over the Mediterranean. You can spend half a day mixing a hike to the cliff and then the quite pastoral gardens + coffee break or breakfast at the dairy restaurant there. Great with kids too, perfect for couples and a must place if you stay in Zichron Yakov (or if you want to have a day tour to this area - then Ramat Handiv, then Zichron and throw in a visit to one of many good wineries in the area). Note, there are openings hours, it's not open all the time. I think it's best visited toward late winter- spring as the gardens are at thier best. But there is lots of trees and shade so also during summer. The outer trails - they do not have shade so hot summer days is less advised. The whole place is very well managed and there is a usefull information point near the entrance at the parking lot with maps etc.

Gan Hanadiv - The generous's garden, named after Baron Rothschild, next to Zichron Yaakov, an hour from Tel Aviv. Lovely gardens with a few ponds and fountains and the tomb of the Baron and his wife. Lovely for a Saturday stroll with the kids. Next to it, there are a few nice easy trails, and Zichron Yaakov with some good restaurants.

Very beautiful park for a short 30-60 minutes hike. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The plants variety is ok - they could add more exotic stuff. The "smells" garden is awesome! Officially the entrance is free but you would likely arrive with a car and will need to pay 25 NIS for parking.

Great walk for all ages and energy levels. Stopped here on Shabbat morning around 915am. We beat the crowd and heat. We only went to the memorial garden as my dad has issues walking (due for knee replacement). Beautiful gardens.

Ramat Hanadiv is a stunning garden that offers a peaceful and relaxing experience. The variety of plants and flowers is impressive and the well-maintained paths make it easy to explore. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Great with kids, mainly self swimming kids. A good thing would be to bring non slipping water shoes. There are verity of pools, and shades to sit next to them. The lifeguards talk too much and too loud unfortunately. My kids 6,9 really enjoyed it!

Beautiful hidden gem. Wonderful place for families and groups to spend the whole day. Free “dr Fish Spa” at many of the water entrance areas. Various pools for different swimming abilities. Will be packed in July and August but later September onwards was perfect!

We went midweek in May and again early June. Not crowded, the water is comfortably warm, crystal clear, an amazing shade of blue. The grounds are well kept, plenty of shade available. There's even a section where no bbq's are allowed, which is quite refreshing. Just about as close to paradise as you can get. Take plenty of water, swimming gear and sandwiches or buy at the shop.

Visited it on workday at November (weather conditions were perfect). The place was very quiet The water absolutely clean Super recommend I suspect that at peak season it can be overcrowded.

I recently visited Gan Hashlosha and had a fantastic experience! The natural beauty of the park is truly mesmerizing, with its crystal-clear pools and lush green surroundings. It's a perfect spot for families and nature enthusiasts. The facilities were well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed a relaxing day here, picnicking by the water and exploring the gentle streams. If you're looking for a serene escape from the city, Gan Hashlosha is definitely a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!

Sheer magnificence. Our children’s favourite spot in Israel. We had to go back twice because they couldn’t get enough. Go when it’s warm enough to swim. No way you could ever be disappointed.

One of the best water holes in all of Israel! It would be wise to bring water shoes, sun screen, and of course, a lot of liquids. Be sure to keep an eye out for the small fishes in the pools. They like to nibble.

I've been to Beit She'an three different times on three different trips to Israel, usually in the late afternoon. It was very interesting, especially from the top of the hill, but also very hot, even with the strong wind that always seems to be blowing. The park is bigger than it looks so I would recommend carrying lots of water, more than you think you would normally need. The last time I was there they had installed beautiful stainless steel cold water drinking fountains in a few spots which I thought was just amazing.

Extraordinary Roman town, with middle east largest theater. If you come during the summer, bring plenty water, this place is hoter than Kuwait. Plan no less than 3 hrs to see most of the site, bring a hat beside water, there are water coolers on site at the entrance mainly

Nice spot to see some ancient history! It was great to be able to see what a city would have looked like. If you do stop in be sure to check out the Egyptian ruins at the top of the hill overlooking the entire city. Lots of remains of ancient ruins like the colosseum, public sanitary, the theater, the city etc, etc. The architecture is amazing and what’s left of the buildings tell an amazing story about its greatness. Extremely good Roman archeological site….for its shape and all well preserved ruins (many mosaics, good theater,….) it is absolutely at the level of Rome forums

Beit She'an's history spans millennia, beginning in the Chalcolithic period and featuring over 20 layers of settlement on its ancient tell. It was a significant site for the Canaanites, Egyptians, Israelites, Philistines (where King Saul's body was displayed), and Hellenistic Greeks, who renamed it Scythopolis. The city flourished under the Romans and Byzantines as a provincial capital but declined after a devastating earthquake in 749 AD, leaving behind extensive ruins of its Roman past. The work done here is first class, the ancient columns has been stood up again and the amphitheatre has been rebuilt. The explanation signage is excellent

Now this place was it! Back in the day!!! Theres a latrine with marble seats for your 🍑 and marble floor for your feet! It's very clear it was a hot spot for trade and for entertainment!!! Unlike the town on the hill right next to it....the short hike up is completely worth the view! Go here if in Israel!

Stunning remains of over 20 layers of civilization. Most notable are the recent Roman ruins. One can picture chariots heading up and down the main street. The 7000 seat theater is mostly standing and the original public bathrooms are nearby, what a gas! There is an entrance plaza, a large bathhouse, streets, shops, a bridge, a ritual compound and more. An earthquake in 749 shook the Roman temple and the huge columns fell. They still lay there and it's hard to imagine that this is all real and not replicas. Amazing experience.

Caesarea Philippi was a Roman and we're pagan ceremonies to the god pan were performed. Jesus visited it this site , it has become an important Christian pilgrimage destination. And where Jesus states: I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

First of all the entrance is free, which is a great plus for a place like this. Very nice view and beautiful gardens. Unfortunately isn't possible to visit the gardens on your own, but you have to wait for the guided tour (available in Jewish, Arab, English and Russian). A big no from my point of view is that you must stick to the high pace of the guides, so you have a very little time to enjoy the place and take some pictures, furthermore, the guide does not wait the group for the explanations, so if you waste one minute to take a photo, you'll miss the explanations about the place, the religion, etc.

The best thing to do in Haifa! The gardens are immaculate and run completely by volunteers. My husband and I went on a guided tour which was free. I definitely recommend going on the tour as this is the only way to view the upper terraces. An absolutely beautiful, peaceful place.

Some of the most beautiful gardens in the world. The Bahai faith is extremely welcoming and kind as you walk through the gardens at their holy site. Highly recommend going.

The Gardens are beautiful. First the top level is free to all great views of the Haifa bay and the Baha’i gardens and shrine from the top. However if you really want to experience the gardens then get tickets in advance. If you are in Haifa it should be a must. The tour is about 60 minutes. It is 750 steps down. You will have a guided tour in English if you want and can stop at about 4 levels. You cannot walk back up the steps. You can take a bus 136 -7 stops (I think you need a Rav Kav. Like a metro card to board the bus) to return you back to the top, or walk through the German Colony Blvd and get a taxi. It a bit of a walk but there are cafes along the way back to the Carmel mountain

An ordeal to get there unless by taxi or you're very, very fit to walk there as it's all uphill. Taxis are extremely expensive unless you can get a group together to share the cost. The view from the top, however, is fantastic, providing panoramic views of the Haifa Bay area.

If you are in Israel, definitely make an effort to go here. The tour is interesting, the religion itself is interesting enough to learn about. Anyone from any background or creed can take something away from this group of people. In terms of the actual gardens themselves, they are some of the most immaculately kept and diverse plants that you will ever lay your eyes on. Everything is kept perfectly, down to the stones on the ground that you are walking on. As you descend, you will feel yourself appreciating the beauty more and more as you look back at each level that you pass. Take the time to explore the gardens and learn a little about the Bahai people You will not regret it.

During the month of November, the gardens are a burst of bright color in a city with very few gardens blooming. Exquisitely manicured, the gardens are beautiful with many plantings of bright reds and other amazing colors. There are nineteen terraces that extend up the northern slope of Mt. Carmel. The golden dome Shrine of the Bab, is the resting place of the Prophet Herald of the Bahai faith. Impressive.

It's a must see for Christians and general public. However it is isolated in the middle of Nazareth which is currently suffering from bad management and disfunctual city services. Hopefully the city will improve and this beautiful site will shine again. Don't forget to bring something to cover the shoulders as respect to the holy site.

In my opinion, one of the most impressive and amazing churches in the world. The visit to the Church of the Annunciation is powerful and interesting, the structure is amazing. The church was established at the site where, according to one tradition, the Annunciation took place. The church has a variety of works of art in different styles from all over the world.

Beautiful, amazing, spiritual and peaceful place! As a Catholic being able to visit the place where The annunciation happened to the Virgin Mary was a simply wonderful and religious experience. The church is beautiful, on the exterior you can see images of the Virgin Mary for all different countries, worth to enjoy each one of them.

One can light up an electric candle 🕯in this church - I really liked this idea as I believe that it is more friendly to the environment. Another thing that I liked is an alley with the paintings and mosaics to the church from all over the world 🌎 One can find donations from the South America, India, and my homeland Ukraine 🇺🇦 It feels really good to find things related to your country when you are that far from it, especially when your country is under attack from the terrorist russian state. If you plan your visit in advance, I also recommend to bring coins and cash for the donations to support the church.

Basilica of the Annunciation Nazareth, also known as The Catholic Church of the Annunciation, is the most impressive and spectacular site in the city and is considered to be one of the most holy churches for Christianity. Basilica of the Annunciation an outstanding building in the center of town, is built where it’s believed the house the Virgin Mary was. On the lower level is the most holy place – Mary’s cave, the cave in which, according to the Catholic-Christian tradition, Mary was visited by Archangel Gabriel and told her she is destined to carry Jesus in her womb.

a very special place with unique story. the church itself quite new and was built upon the ruins of the origins of st. mary...many illustrations from around the world were sent here for display and you sense that this is a piece of history. there is no entrance fee and many pilgrims come here for spiritual charging.

The most impressive church I’ve ever seen. It is modern, huge, tho it still preserve the old trails from Jesus’s time. Also, in the church’s yard, there are icons from all around the world, and it’s interesting to see different cultures picturing the holy family in their own way. You can visit the church for free, there is no fee.

The rooftop provides a good view to Nazareth. Worth the visit to get some valuable historical insights on Nazareth as well.

Been there saw it from outside. Very close to the nazereth old market. Looks like an impressing house. Next time we'll come in the open hr's to visit.

I visited the center awhile back and wanted to write a review to encourage others to visit. An excellent multimedia biblical movie, a stunning presentation. Visiting the center was absolutely worthwhile (which is opposite the Basilica of the Annunciation of Mary). A very informative and beautiful experience. A must see!

A must visit place for tourists here in Nazareth. It's just right across the street to the Church Of The Annunciation. I'd recommend everyone to watch all 04 (15 minutes each) video clips in 04 different theaters before walking all the way up to the top level where you'll have a wonderful view of Nazareth from the above.

The Maria story is a must see, astonishing multimedia experience and powerful message.

The chapel is beautiful, and the people are too. Come for a coffee, quiet prayer, or an informative tour/multimedia show about the life of Mary of Nazareth. One of my favorite places in all of Nazareth.

The French community of the "Chemin Neuf" (New Way) takes care of the site built on ruins of a 1st century house, the neighbors of the Holy Family? offering a multimedia show on the life of Mary of Nazareth. A beautiful chapel sits on the roof top of the building facing the basilica of the annunciation. On the premessis a small artisanal shop & a Caffè (possible to book a meal in advance).

Worth a short visit since it is only a very short walk from the big Annunciation Church. It only takes a few minutes to see. There is a nice church and then you go downstairs to view the location which might have been the home of the Holy Family and/or Joseph's carpentry workshop. They have kept the downstairs rock-hewn humble.

This is one of the most iconic churches in Nazareth. Best visiting this when you already feel lost, dont know your purpose and about to give up in life. Going here makes you reconnect with our God. Makes you feel connected again with Him. Trully amazing and priceless experience 👍👍

Believed to be the house of Joseph, there is an underground structure to give proof of that era. Worth a visit if you have time and are around the area

Nice church in a lovely surrounding next to the Catholic Church Of Annunciation. You can go downstairs to see the remains of the old Nazareth village .

Small church, great place, the house of st. Joseph. Must vist when you are at nazareth, beside the annunciation, open at 8:00 AM till 18:00 PM

A reasonable church built over the alleged site of Christ's childhood home, which is most interesting.

Lovely church to visit, the underground grotto with the alter and cross hanging from the ceiling is lovely

As someone whos been to malta and learned about the history of the knight of st John , it was interesting seeing the history of the templer and hospitlar knights in the holy land. Nice staff but finding the ticket office is a bit confusing

We stayed in Acre overnight, primarily to visit the Citadel. We arrived just before 9 and went straight in. There is a nice route laid out with plenty of information boards and exhibits. There is lots of information about the Military Orders, the Crusades, life at that period as well as an area that is family friendly with interactive displays and I think some dressing up areas. The place is obviously pretty large and it took a couple of hours to see everything and by then it was crowded with lots of coach parties so if you want to see it in peace, arrive at opening time. I'd recommend combing this with a trip to the nearby tunnels (very quick - 15 minutes there and back) and also the sea walls to look at the Ottoman walls and remains of the Crusader fortifications.

Not my first time and still worth the time. The walk on the citadel at sunset is priceless, the view on the sea, the wind, the city, everything is just perfect. I warmly recommend the experience.

Buy your combo tickets here for the citadel, museums, bathhouse and Templar’s Tunnel. It was well worth the 49 sheckal price for all of them. The citadel itself was a really well done and well preserved structure. There was an excellent entertaining audio guide and I especially enjoyed the bathhouse videos. We also paid the extra for the Leonardo de Vinci exhibit and enjoyed that.

Really nice. The audio guided round walk with 45 stations is entertaining and keeps captivated. Acre (Akko) has a rich history which is actually great explained during the walkabout.

Well presented and preserved crusader Castle in Acre, (Akko), Israel. Great museum with great audio visuals. Don't miss the secret tunnel that leads to the sea! Great for adults and kids. Lots of fascinating history. Headphones for tours in various languages as well.

Amazing archeological gem in the northern part of Israel. A whole set of medieval citadel, with crossaider halls and beautiful set up for a whole day tour.

Very interesting to learn how they discovered these ruins. The entrance fee is very cheap and they assign you a volunteer that gives you a tour either long or short depending on your time and it’s included with the entrance fee. I’m really happy to have insisted to come here.

It’s always a grace to come to these places and this one is especially precious as there has been so much invested into the archeological sight as well as into the new buildings. The church is especially stunning and build and created in stunning art and excellence. It is absolutely worth it going there and seeing and experiencing it first hand!

A very large spread out site on the sea of Galilee. Lots to see and learn. There is a local church body that also meets on the site and we met some people speaking in teaching so cool stories that helps bring available to life in a new way.

Second time I visited! This time, the mosaics, the painting of the woman touching the fringe of Jesus’ garment, the sculptures and the view from the chapel over the Sea of Galilee really hit home! I will be back for sure!

Fascinating place of archaeology, of a synagogue dated to the first century ac. Very good restoration and preservation of the building and it's surroundings. All people who have an interest in the history of this area, where Jesus and his disciples walked around will enjoy this site.

Thank you Celine and Father Kelly for such an informative yet passionate tour, thank you for your heart for Jesus. Magdala is certainly a place you can’t miss when visiting Galilee region. Scan the QR code here to schedule a guided tour.

Amazing place, considering the five stars but need to wait until construction is complete to get a full picture of the place. So much information to take place and such an important place, especially in this day and age, to truly recognise and commemorate the amazing woman of The Bible! The lady who seems to run the church was so relaxed, we had a fantastic chat with her and she is full of information and made the experience truely amazing! We learnt so much about the woman of The Bible and how many go unnoticed and somewhat unappreciated. The church was amazing, full with so much artwork mainly by woman, but also an amazing portrait by a male about the miracle that took place when the old woman touched Jesus' feet.

One of the most unique places you'll visit in Israel. There are many beautiful along the lake and campsites.

Sea of Galilee aka Lake Tiberias. Is the famous lake where JESUS walked on it and also calmed the storm. It’s also the lowest fresh water lake on earth. Peaceful lake indeed and breeze was so cool.

An amazing place to see with my own eyes. I read all about this place and Jesus' ministry here. I also enjoyed sailing on the Sea of Galilee. Luckily, it was a calm and beautiful day.

The Sea of Galilee is one of my favorite spots in Israel. This is a spot where you really feel the presence of Jesus.

This is one of my best experiences in Israel, you will be enthuse and captivated if you ever visit this area, especially if you’re of the Christian faith. Take a tour one day and go experience a little of history.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

A partially collapsed cave left a magnificent arc. An interesting and pretty formation, with a great view of the sea, next to the border with Lebanon. Very accessible, but also allows for repelling at the site, or for a short hike to the site. Highly recommended.

A very interesting spot to go to if you have the time / happen to be near the area (i.e. visiting Rosh HaniKra). View when you reach the cave is amazing. From the parking, you have to walk approximately 10 minutes to reach the destination. Signs are very clear and easy to follow. The 8997 route to this view also provides good photo opportunities, providing a top down view of the surrounding landscape

Very well maintained national park. Paved walkways to the caves for easier access; pathways are graded so not too steep. Views of the surrounding countryside are amazing. The cave systems to view are a natural wonder to see. Fascinating history Not on the typical tourist map but it should be. Well worth the drive to see.

I've been here a few times. The road to the cave is amazing and winding. free parking. The view from the cave is amazing. Don't miss it.

Clean and calm park. We visited there in a middle of a week and enjoyed it very much. Make sure i get there on not windy weather since its located on top of the mountain. Has plenty of tables to sit and eat enjoying the nature The site has memorials with a little story tellers stones - explaining the history of this mountain.

A wonderful view point to come with friends and family. A great walk. There is a nice trail leading to the cave, accessable for strollers and wheelchairs.

A beautiful trip, the winding road 8993 leading to the peak is simply amazing, from the parking there is an accessible and easy road, it is recommended to arrive at dusk.

There is a short and a long route. Routes are circular. Both run along the shade. Perfect for a hot day. Bring plenty of water, a hat and comfortable shoes. In addition to the water, there is also an ancient part of the city that has been preserved and a lookout view. There is a souvenir shop at the entrance to the park.

Trails for all ages — both short and long — suitable for strollers as well as for experienced hikers. There’s a small wading pool for those who want to get wet. A beautiful, shaded spot.

Small but beautiful nature preserve. Easy trail. Walked by streams, trees and some ancient ruins. Saw birds and small reptiles. Was originally one of the first places visited in Israel 20 years ago. Very happy to see it again.

Amazing place that has such a rich history. Gives good insight to how Old Testament cities were built. The fact that there is a 4,000 year old structure still there that Abraham would have visited is amazing alone. A must see for anyone on a pilgrimage trip.

This is an incredible nature park that follows one of the tributaries to the Jordan river. Lots of history here as the tribe of Dan moved north against the law and there are remnants of a temple and an ancient gate. Beautiful walking trails through nature along a fast flowing river

This is more than just a nature reserve. Yes, it has a walk through a park area with beautiful scenery and a flowing stream, but it is much more than that! This site contains several important archeological finds. It has walls and remains of a city and settlement that date to more than 1,000 BC in the nation of Israel. They have uncovered the temple built by King Jeroboam after the kingdom was divided. Walls, tombs, houses, places of worship and much more have been discovered, giving more validity to the accurate history recorded in the Old Testament. And you can walk through those ancient streets! They also have uncovered a gate to a city which dates around 2,000 BC to the time of the Canaanites who lived there before Israel. This is an incredible walk through time and history in a beautiful setting! Well worth a visit!

Update: Been there again this October and again I really enjoyed it. Ideal as a weekend family activity. Always green, always streaming, perfect for a Family trip One of the best Nature Reserve in Israel, no matter when, even in the dry Summer of Israel, but of course the best is in Winter, after the strong rains of January. Then it is awesome with all the streaming all around, everywhere, at every corner and behind every tree, the sight is amazing. We had plenty of precipitations in Israel this winter, and therefore the currents were exceptional as well. As it is managed by the National Authority I'd strongly recommend to buy the Matmon Card of the Israel Nature and Park Authority which will give you free unlimited access to you and your family all year long, to all the Nature Reserves and National Parks (everywhere in Israel) You should get back your investment in 4 visits or less and then you'll be able to come back as many times along the year. Can't say enough to recommend this card as it'll allow you a priceless freedom to visiting any Park or Nature Reserve you wish.

A real treasure of the nature in the land of Israel. From above, you only (hardly) see a green line on dry volcanic hills. But as you come up and descend to a narrow canyon, you find yourself in a rain forest, with huge trees, lians, waterfalls, and traces of wild creatures. Indiana Jones themed park? No, it's real.

The stream is beautiful, majestic even. The waters are clear and the trail is very nice. However, you cannot enter it at the main site to swim, so if you’d like to swim you should visit the Syrian tank site next to the main reserve

Absolutely stunning! The beauty of the north in all its glory, amazing scenery, fresh cool water, a dazzling waterfall, very well preserved, rich historical background, and many more things to enjoy... This is a trail you owe yourself to visit at least once, suitable for the whole family. The choices of trails vary from half an hour, up to 3 hours total. Very highly recommend!

love the place! I would recommend coming sometime in early spring because then all the flowers bloom and its just really beautiful! There are several places to take pictures and breaks, and the way the hike is built is immaculate. In conclusion, 5/5 would totally go again!

Beautiful and very different in our landscape. It's reserved also very well. Great for families as there are also short and long routes. Due to the Corona you need to reserve in advance your visit, inside its not crowded at all. There are two sites to visit, going between is by car or hiking within the reserve.

Beautiful parks setting. Places to picnic. Unique location of a cave shrine to the Greek god Pan. It's fascinating that Jesus chose this place to tell his disciples who He was, that he would build His church on "this rock", meaning Himself as Jesus, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. As such, the pagan people beloved at that time that this location was an entrance to hades because of the seemingly bottomless pool of water in Pan's cave.

This place is great! I'll start with the downside - there are many stairs to go down and then up. If you are old or disabled that might be a problem. Otherwise it is great fun. Most of the walk is near the gushing water, in the shade, with nature all around. And there are also platforms right over the water that yoi can stand on and be really close to the stream. It was great for me, my wife and 2 children, ages 1.5 and 4.5.

An absolutely breathtaking experience. The Barouk Cedar Forest in the Shouf Biosphere Reserve is a place of peace, history, and natural beauty. The highlight for me was the massive cedar tree known as “Lamartine”—a living monument named after the French poet who was captivated by these ancient giants. Standing beneath it, you really feel the weight of time and nature’s majesty. The trails are serene, the air is crisp, and the whole forest feels like sacred ground. A must-visit if you’re in Lebanon—this is the heart and soul of the country.

The Shouf Biosphere Reserve in Barouk is Lebanon’s largest nature reserve, encompassing approximately 550 km²—about 5.3% of the country’s territory. It is home to around 25% of Lebanon’s cedar trees, including some of the oldest and most majestic specimens, such as the renowned “Lamartine” cedar.   Visitors often describe the reserve as a peaceful sanctuary, offering well-maintained trails suitable for all ages. The Barouk Cedar Forest, a part of the reserve, is particularly noted for its serene atmosphere and the unique shapes of its ancient cedar trees.   Beyond its natural beauty, the reserve plays a crucial role in conservation, hosting 32 species of wild mammals, 200 species of birds, and 500 species of plants. It also serves as an Important Bird Area and offers educational programs and guided tours to enhance visitor understanding of its ecological significance.   Whether you’re a seasoned hiker, a nature enthusiast, or someone seeking a tranquil retreat, the Shouf Biosphere Reserve in Barouk offers a rich and rewarding experience.

A must visit place of nature, showing how old, big and powerful trees that must make us humble. The place has guide and fees for entrance. It has toilets down at the entrance only, so void up everything before climbing. Distance between entering and high up reaches 700 meters. Some roles are there so try to stick to it. Hug the trees, they are 3500 years old.

I recently visited the Cedar Biosphere Reserve, and it was truly an awe-inspiring experience! The natural beauty of this sanctuary left me speechless. The abundant flora and fauna created a serene and captivating environment. The staff was extremely friendly and informative, offering simple yet informative explanations about the reserve's conservation efforts. Walking along the well-marked trails was a delight, and the breathtaking views from the observation decks were a highlight. I was delighted to spot various wildlife, like colourful birds and graceful deer, in their natural habitats. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable journey. I appreciated the clear signs and easy-to-follow maps, ensuring I didn't get lost in this vast paradise. Overall, the Cedar Biosphere Reserve is a perfect destination for nature lovers of all ages. Whether you're a seasoned environmental enthusiast or just seeking a peaceful retreat, this reserve won't disappoint. I left with a sense of wonder and gratitude, knowing that such protected places exist for future generations to cherish and enjoy. A definite must-visit!

A stunning and massive reserve — a must-visit! Unlike the Cedars of God in Bsharri, which is much smaller, this forest is huge and full of beauty. The entrance fee is only $5 as a contribution, and it’s totally worth it. There are many trails to explore and breathtaking views all around. I highly recommend visiting, especially for nature lovers. If you’re planning to go hiking, make sure to go early in the day to enjoy the experience fully.

Amazing Lebanon! – ancient cedar trees over a thousand years old, set in a majestic mountain Barouk landscape and truly awe-inspiring place in Lebanon. A natural wonder that must be seen and visited!

Wonderful preserve. They have so many tracks. We took the shortest one because i had my children with me. There is so many things to do. They have a bunch placed under an old cedar tree where you can have a panoramic view of the preserve and from there you can listen to the sound of silence.. what a pleasure.. i loved it sooo much.. on our way to the lake we could see the baby cedars tree named after famous and none famous people how founded it.

A must visit in Damascus. For women, make sure to bring your own Abaya to wear before entering and praying at the mosque.

So much history and beautiful architecture. Was not busy when I visited. I could walk around and enjoy the art.

This is such a different, beautiful mosque with a long history - a mix of Persian and Ottoman detailing, so quite different from the blue ceramic tiling you see in other mosques. The courtyard and minaret are breathtaking. The inside is very spacious as well and can accommodate lots of visitors and prayers. Females are given brown cloaks to wear.

I would recommend to visit. A ticket for foreigners costs 1M LBP (no dollars are accepted!) Good impressions from the exhibition, which vividly illustrates: this piece of land was part of numerous cultures including Egyptian, Phoenician, Assyrian, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Genoese, Mamluk and Ottoman. There is also a lovely gift shop and a cafe!

The National Museum of Beirut is a cultural treasure that beautifully showcases Lebanon’s rich and diverse history. The museum is well-organized, with a fascinating collection of artifacts spanning prehistoric times to the Ottoman era. Highlights include ancient statues, mosaics, and sarcophagi, all displayed in a modern, well-lit space. The restoration after the civil war is impressive, and the museum offers both historical depth and visual beauty. A must-visit for history lovers.

Fine museum that shows the which showcases Lebanon’s long and remarkable history. It’s an impressive collection of sarcophagi, sphinxes, and ancient artifacts reflecting Lebanon’s coexistence with ancient Egypt and Greece. One could only wish the museum offered more explanations to place these remarkable finds in a broader context.

i’d give this place around 3.5. some of the pieces don’t have much explanation next to them. the mummy room is honestly really sad, and that’s also where the “no photos” sign is, but of course someone still took one while i was there which was so disrespectful. the museum does have some issues with ac, but when i visited it wasn’t hot at all. the workers were nice and polite. one thing though: there’s no wc sign, so people get confused about where the bathroom is. at least 3 people asked me, and since i was wearing a suit they thought i worked there 😔 overall there aren’t too many items on display, but it’s still worth a try. if you’re a lebanese student, entrance is only 50,000.

In an otherwise grim city this is one of the highlights. Everything labelled, sometimes in multiple languages. I don’t like that they have the mumified remains of children on display no matter that they had lived hundreds of years ago. Really disrespectful that they have been turned into a museum exhibit. Due to this I will give this museum one star when otherwise it would have got top marks.

Visited during la nuit de musées, great museum except for the fact we weren’t allowed to go in and observe the mummies. I understand the museum was at full capacity and at risk of damaging the artifacts but there was a woman in front of the mummy room that was not letting people take pictures or come inside the room. She could’ve at least limited the number of people inside the room just to observe.

Very disappointing. The lady at the ticket counter was extremely unfriendly, as it was her job to prevent people from visiting the museum. You can only pay in Lebanese lira, which they don't tell you in their horrible website and there is zero flexibility at the ticket counter. Luckily there was a person who exchanged the 46 USD into lira for us. The explanations in the museum are minimal and badly translated, so you don't even get the basic idea of what you're looking at. It's sad because I'd like to support public institutions like these but it was really the unfriendlyness of the ticket staff that makes me not recommend it to any visitors.

I visited the place again since I heard it's open wasn't bad!!! Just the boat ride was really short! Other than that give it a go parking 250LB . And entrance ticket 15$ per adult a lot but well. U can't take pics or anything inside the caves, just open area outside , overall upper part is better personally big and u get to walk and experience the rocks the feelings and all . Lower one wasn't much water is nice but too much fuss over short boat trip

Amazing! This is briefly what you can say about this majestic place. I visited the grotto several times in the past and this summer I wanted to let my kids to see it. They were extremely stunned by the cave and the incredible shapes of the stalagmites and stalactites. This place is a must see for any visitor to Lebanon. No pictures are allowed inside but nothing can depict what you see there in person.

I visited Jeita Grotto today, and it is truly one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen. The caves are stunning, with incredible natural formations and an underground river that feels magical to experience. The entire area is well-maintained, and the beauty inside is simply unforgettable. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was that phones and photos are not allowed inside the grotto. I feel it would be much better if visitors could take photos, as it would help promote this amazing site when shared with friends and family—more people would be inspired to come and see it for themselves. I also believe the area could feel a bit less commercial if they focused more on enhancing the natural charm of the surroundings rather than just coffee shops and restaurants. Still, overall, Jeita Grotto is an absolute must-visit in Lebanon—an experience you will never forget.

A natural wonder developped over millions of years inside the these beautiful mountains. A formation of Stalactites and Stalagmites, many in weird shapes such as Jelly Fish, Mushroom, etc. based on their shapes. There are 3 layers to visit, Upper, Middle and Lower. While Upper and Middle is on foot, the lower is on a short boat trip. The temperatures within are cool throughout the year, around 20degs, especially a relief in the hot summers. The Entrance fee is $15 and includes rides on a cable car, toy train and the boat. Staff is friendly. Photography is strictly prohibited and they go to lengths to stop it. The reasoning given behind it when questioned was unconvincing and the only reason I can think of it so to create a curiosity among people so that people visit it in person generating income. Nevertheless, a beautiful place to not miss in a life time

Immersion to the depthness of Mother Earth ( upper grotto- Last chamber with deep hole- inviting to meditation) Touristic attraction : Forbid cameras inside, but take pictures with flash for extra money Entrance fee 15 USD

A Very majestic place ! Both the upper and the lower grotto are very beautiful and worth the visit !

The cave was really nice, but the good things end there, staff would try to be friendly and offer to give you information so that you tip them, and the funny thing is that each one of them has a very different story with different dates, it seems like none of them knows anything about the cave. Tickets are very pricey and they also charge you when you enter the facility for parking. Cameras and phones are not allowed inside the cave (the workers say the light would damage the cave) while they have photo stands inside the cave with big flash lights so that you pay to take pictures, and they also have phones that you can rent out to take pictures since they don't let you take your phone inside, they touch your body everywhere to make sure of it. Overall the way things operate there really ruined the experience for me and I would never go back ever again.

If you are on a spiritual tour in Lebanon, this place is a must visit. Monastery Saint Maroun was the place was the place where Saint charbel spent a period of his life before going to the hermitage. This place has a big church near the monastery. The views from up there are amazing. There is a souvenir shop that can help you buy something to remember your visit.

In the silence of Annaya, where Saint Charbel prayed and served, the soul finds rest, the heart finds peace, and heaven feels near

Beat holy Place in Lebanon! So beautiful and peaceful! Great staff on hbd

One of my favourite saints- beautiful holy ground. Powerful pilgrimage site. Truly breathtaking.

What an amazing place to visit 🙏 words cannt describe. It feels you are above the clouds. I would visit weekly if I lived in Lebanon. I attended the 7am mass, and it was amazing and beautiful and humble and peaceful 🙏

Words can't describe the feelings of that holy place, whenever you are feeling down or in need for an escape from your everyday life problems, or even asking for spiritual help , you just can go there and find your answers. It's is a big place, well maintained, well organised, safe , clean , quiet , beautiful, and helpful staff. It is a must visit for everyone, from different spiritual backgrounds, it's a historical and a remarkable place in the Life of Saint Charbel, you can visit all year around. Definitely will keep going back here.

A truly beautiful Monastery . It is a peace of heaven on earth and a brilliant church. Actually you have 2 churches, the old one is small and a new big one.The people are warm and inviting. It is a great blend of modern worship and older hymns, as well as in depth preaching and teaching every Sunday. Very special event every 22nd of the month. This really is the crowning jewel of any visit to Lebanon. A must visit. May saint Charbel bless you all.
