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.

One of the desert castles located outside of Amman on the way to Al-Azraq. The castle can get some additional care and renovation. The place involves climbing stairs to the upper floor, and requires some care. There is ample parking outside. Tickets can be bought at the entrance. There are restrooms. There is also a mini-shop for souvenirs and snacks. Expect to spend no more than 15 minutes here. Next stop could be the Amra Castle, which, is a sweet 10-15 minute drive.

Qasr al-Harrana, built around the early 8th century under the Umayyads, is among the most enigmatic of Jordan’s desert castles. With its square plan, corner towers, and two stories of vaulted rooms around a central courtyard, it appears fortress-like yet was likely not a military stronghold. Scholars suggest it served as a caravanserai, meeting lodge, or retreat, blending Roman, Byzantine, and Sassanian architectural traditions into an early Islamic expression of power and culture. Located along ancient desert routes, it reflects the Umayyad presence on the frontier and remains one of the best-preserved monuments of its kind.

Interesting Place, nice guide - fun. Worth a visite! Looking back at the history of this area to be able seeing a hotel like this - amazing. Not as spectacular as other places, maybe, its most worth place to see of the desert castles.

The architecture and structure of this castle is solid. It is about an hr from Amman but so worth the drive. There is a small shop located across from the visitor center, where you purchase tickets to enter. Drink the tea, it is delicious and yes, you can have more than just one cup.

Whilst you visit Quseir 'Amra, come here too. It is nearby and few minutes drive from the other beautiful unesco sight. Visit this castle, it takes you maybe half an hour to see but well worth it. Jordan pass is valid, there is a guy who tours you around and tells interesting facts about the "castle".

Anything less than 5 star is not understanding this site. It is extremely important as a desert palace & it alone can show the importance of desert palaces (which I believe are pre-Umayyad). Beautiful architecture, amazing decorations on the second floor, and thousands of graffiti to read. Badly neglected though. The authorities need to protect it better & probably restrict access to the first floor. Too many careless people jumping up & down & endangering themselves and the building. It’s 1400 years old folks, if it collapses, you will get buried under tons of heavy stones.

What an amazingly historic castle in the desert. I really enjoyed my time here. It’s still very well preserved and taken care of. It has lots to see, you can walk inside up and around the buildings. It has lovely artwork that decorates the interior in certain places. It was definitely worth checking out, if you’re into history. I would recommend visiting this lovely castle.

Part of the Roman theater of Amman. I filmed here numerous times. I always enjoy the acoustics. The government needs to do more to boost this place and bring in more tourists.

this one is smaller and also used for events. the roman theatre is used for events as well

Loved the place! Such a magical historic location You can’t enter the theater unless their is a concert or an event Their is public area in front of the theater

The Odeon Theater or the Winter Theater is a small Roman amphitheater located in the center of the Jordanian capital, Amman, where the Great Roman Amphitheater is also located. It was built in the second century AD, before the construction of the Great Amphitheater, to accommodate about 500 spectators. The Odeon Theater was mainly used for musical performances. Archaeologists believe it may have been roofed with a wooden roof or temporary tent to protect the audience and performers from the weather. It is believed that the severe earthquake that struck the city of Amman and the regions of the Levant in 1927 was the main reason for the demolition of a large part of it, especially its high facade. The amphitheater and the surrounding area in the Hashemite Square have recently been restored, where concerts and poetry seminars are held today.

The Odeon is a small 500-seat theatre. Not to be confused with the large Roman Theatre that stands right next to it, on the southern side of the Hashemite Plaza, while the Odeon stands on the east side of the Plaza. Very nice, tidy and clean old ruins, that is kept in good shape.

Right next to the Roman theatre and a great deal smaller! Thought it wasn’t included in the Jordan Pass but the guard asked and we said we had it and got in for free. It’s a lot quieter than the Roman theatre - come here if you are avoiding the ruckus and keen on admiring the ancient Roman architecture.

This is like a compact version of the big Roman Theater next to it. But, it seems to be in better condition (restored?) and feels more welcoming. There are some funky acoustics if you stand at the center of the arena.

Our visit was on day 1 of Jordan pass, quite cumbersome. Rest of the experience was great, thanks to our guide giving in depth details of multiple era of transition this site has witnessed. There is a small museum having locally recovered treasure, and it’s one the best range of museums articles to experience right at the place of its recovery.

Panoramic Views and Ancient History at the Amman Citadel.. Perched on one of Amman's highest hills, the Citadel offers a captivating blend of history and breathtaking views that you won't want to miss. It's a must-visit when in the city, providing a magnificent panoramic outlook that includes the iconic Roman Theatre nestled in the valley below. The contrast between the ancient ruins on the hill and the bustling, modern city stretching out below is simply stunning. The site itself is beautifully maintained, with clear pathways and well-preserved structures that give you a true sense of walking through history. The most striking of these is the Temple of Hercules. While only parts of the colossal statue remain—most notably a giant stone hand—they give you a powerful insight into the scale and ambition of Roman architecture. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for an incredible vantage point, the Citadel is a rewarding experience. It provides deep insights into the history of Amman, and you can easily explore it with or without a guide. The informational signs are excellent, but a guide can also bring the stories to life with more detailed historical context.

The Amman Citadel is one of those places that takes your breath away not just because of the views, but because of the history that surrounds you. The ancient ruins are incredible to walk through, from the Temple of Hercules to the Umayyad Palace. It’s amazing to stand among structures that have been there for thousands of years and imagine all the civilizations that once called this place home. What I loved most was the mix of beauty and serenity. Stray cats wander the site, lounging in the sun or following visitors around like little guides. The view from the top is absolutely stunning you can see all of Amman spread out below, a blend of old and new. There’s also a small but fascinating museum at the Citadel that holds artifacts dating back to prehistoric times. If you love history, culture, or just a good sunset view, this place is a must-visit.

Amazing place with incredible history and beautiful views over Amman! 🏛️✨ The ruins, like the Temple of Hercules and Umayyad Palace, are fascinating and well-preserved. Peaceful, not too crowded, and a must-visit spot in the city! 💛

The Amman Citadel is such a beautiful and historic place to visit. The ancient ruins are truly impressive, and the views overlooking the city are breathtaking. The area is well maintained, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. A must-see spot when visiting Amman!

Amman Citadel is an Archiological site which has ruins from various civilizations. The site has a long history and many historical landmarks, dating back from bronze age (1200 BCE), to Roman period, Byzantine period and Umayyaad period (661-750 CE) are there. The site was mostly abandoned afterwards until the late 19th century. The site is mostly in ruins now, but very interesting to visit it. Every important part is explained in boards in English and Arabic. The Jordan Archaeological Museum was on the Citadel hill has many beautiful collection of artifacts from all periods of history. Citadel is the most important part of Amman, must visit place.

Nice to walk around and have a look. The cafe was nice to sit down afterwards. But the people inside trying to sell things or try to trick you by insisting on guiding you or tell you «fun facts» then following you and asking for money ruins the mood abit.

Most happening place in Amman... a street full of cafes, restaurants and art shops etc... a stroll around this street during the evenings are the best time pass while in Amman...

It may have been good. The old picture looked nice, it's nothing like it anymore, total waste of time, don't waste your time going to Rainbow Street.

A worthwhile destination if you’re looking for a little vibrancy in an otherwise monotone city. It’s not earth shattering, but has lots of little shops, bars, restaurants and liquor store. Time well spent.

Nice street with colorful basket hanging all around including trees. There are a lot of shops and restaurants around the street. Good place to spend time in Amman.

Spent an afternoon on Rainbow Street and it was such a fun experience! The street is full of unique shops, cozy cafés, and great restaurants, making it the perfect place to wander, eat, and soak in the atmosphere. Whether you’re browsing or just people-watching, it has a lively, welcoming vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Amman.

The shops on this street are nice they have souvenirs, and I recommend checking them out!

Had heard a lot about it, but honestly found it a bit overrated. It’s a pleasant place for a walk, with a decent selection of shops and restaurants along the way. I did manage to pick up some nice souvenirs, which was a highlight. Overall, it’s a nicer and more relaxed experience compared to the busy city center, but not quite as impressive as I expected.

It is an amazing museum with lots of history behind each car/motorbike. The ticket is for (5 Jordanian Dinar) without audio presentation. It is definitely worth visiting.

Amazing collection of 2 and 4 wheelers. Well restored vintage collection. A must visit for car and bike enthusiasts

The Royal Automobile Museum in Amman, Jordan, is a must-visit for anyone interested in cars, history, or Jordan’s royal heritage. Established in 2003 by King Abdullah II as a tribute to his father, King Hussein, the museum showcases over 80 vehicles, including rare classics, motorcycles, and modern sports cars, some dating back to 1909. Each car is impeccably maintained and accompanied by detailed historical context, photos, and multimedia that tie the vehicles to key moments in Jordan’s history, from royal processions to diplomatic gifts like a 1956 armored Cadillac from President Eisenhower. Highlights include the Mars Rover from The Martian, filmed in Wadi Rum, and iconic cars like the Ferrari F40 and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren “Stirling Moss.” The museum’s air-conditioned, well-lit space in Al Hussein Public Parks makes it a comfortable visit, even in summer. The layout is intuitive, and the staff is welcoming, often greeting visitors with warm smiles. It’s not just for car enthusiasts—even non-gearheads will enjoy the storytelling, which offers a unique lens on Jordan’s modernization and royal legacy. I spent over an hour captivated by the blend of automotive craftsmanship and historical narratives. Entry is affordable at 5 JOD for tourists (3 JOD for residents), though the Jordan Pass isn’t valid. It’s open daily except Tuesdays from 10 AM to 7 PM, with free parking available. My only critique is the slightly remote location, so plan for a taxi or car. Overall, it’s a fascinating, well-curated experience that’s worth fitting into your Amman itinerary, whether you’re a car lover or just curious about Jordan’s past.

Wonderful car collection from the Jordanian Royal Family! Old and new and everything in between! Highly recommend to visit if you’re into cars and automotive history!

Very nice place to visit, but the price for non-jordanian people not suitable, it should be less, there are a lot of rare and great cars that every car lovers should see👌

The Royal Automobile Museum in Amman was a truly enjoyable experience for me as an automobile enthusiast and admirer. The collection is impressive—not just in terms of the variety of vintage and modern vehicles, but also in how it reflects Jordan’s royal history and connection to automotive culture. From classic Rolls-Royces and rare motorcycles to cutting-edge concept cars, every exhibit is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully curated. What made the visit even more captivating was the storytelling—each car is tied to moments from King Hussein’s life and Jordan’s journey, adding a unique historical dimension. Whether you’re passionate about automotive design, motorsport history, or just appreciate well-crafted machines, this museum is a must-visit in Amman. Ticket price-10JD /person

Amazing collection of classic and modern cars! A great mix of history, elegance, and culture. A must-visit in Amman — even if you're not a car lover!

One of the best places to visit in Jordan if not the best, beautiful scenery and very fun, needs a light swimming but there is life jackets. It’s a light hike not very hard the entry fee is around 30 dinars they provide shoes there and a waterproof bags, clean toilets are available and changing rooms but no showers, they sell some snacks too there. A MUST for anyone visiting Jordan

Loved the Siq trail. Not difficult to get through. Definitely recommended. If you plan in advance, i recommend buying water shoes and waterproof bag, it will cost you the same as renting, and the shoes will come in handy for a swim in dead sea, as the salt rocks are really sharp.

Wadi Mujib is an amazing adventure! Beautiful views, fun climbing and swimming, and the canyon is just stunning. Be ready to get wet and wear good shoes. One of the best experiences in Jordan 🇯🇴

Absolutely phenomenal views. Temps were ideal. 65 to 80 F depending on the time of day. Prices were not too bad. 25 to get in and 10 for the watering rental. They do give you a life jacket (a bit stinky from use). There will be a guide at the first waterfall to help you thru till the end. Atleast for me there was a guy. Super helpful. The waterproof bags they give you are good but I would recommend having ziplock bags or a second layer within the bag just incase. I had my own water shoes but little rocks will still get into them. Difficulty is 3/10 to get to the final waterfall. Always use the 3 points of contact system and soft step surfaces before you put your weigh on it. There were places with sharp and about 2 to 3 feet deep points where you foot might get stuck. Definitely will visit again.

Beautiful valley where they let Mother Nature make the route. The Sig trail costs 23JD for foreigners. A bit on the expensive side, but totally worth it! You get a life jacket and you can rent a waterproof bag for 10 JD. Then you’re on your own. We took picture breaks, strolled around and floated with the stream. It took us a little under 2 hours. Just perfect

It was one of the most amazing experiences I had in Jordan! I highly recommend everyone to do this as their 2nd priority in Jordan, after Petra. It's a fairly easy canyoning journey, even for a beginner like me. If you don't have adequate shoes, you can buy them for 10 jod at the entrance and rent a waterproof bag for yourself for another 10 jod. For those not familiar with canyoning, just know that you will get entirely wet at some point so don't come under the assumption that you'll only be partly wet, there are waterfalls and too many amazing swimming opportunities to miss out on. People said it would take 3 hours, but even with many photo stops, it only took us 2 hours. Make sure to try to float on you way back cause it's so fun! 100/10 recommend!

The canyon was closed because it was under maintenance. But the authorities opened it for us to go the ramp and click pictures. It would have been nice if the canyon was accessible as we wanted to do a hike and enjoy the waters. But we look forward to do the hike in our next trip.

This is a special place. The historical significance is enough, but the landscape is also beautiful. The gift shop is rather extensive, with plenty of trinkets and T-shirts and an entire room of Dead Sea lotions and cosmetics. They also have drinks and chocolate.

If you're going in Spring/Summer get there early so the heat isn't that much and the tours aren't crowding the place. It's a very small museum with a small archeological site, but the hike (green trail) has very beautiful scenery and is not so difficult. Getting there on public transport is also quite easy, just take a bus from Jerusalem and you'll be there in 40-50 minutes. Although this is the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls where found, you will not see them here, you need to go to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem for that, where the exhibition is truly amazing.

Really cool and easy to get to on your way to the Dead Sea. The movie at the beginning is little cheesy and I was hoping there was more to learn about the Dead Sea Scrolls themselves, but you can find that at the Israel Museum. Nonetheless, the archeological site is quite amazing and the the whole area is breathtaking. Definitely worth seeing as nd should only be about 45 mins to an hour.

This is where the Dead Sea manuscripts were found, proving that the contents of today's Bible can be verified. Here are the ruins of houses and cities of the Essenes. We can explore this place both through short and long routes. There are also the famous Dead Sea caves. This place has a museum that explains the activities of the Essenes. Dan has a very complete shop, selling souvenirs and typical promised land products, deadsea minerals, cosmetics, spices, jewelry, etc.

Historical site, interesting, the place is very neat and clear. There is an option for voice assistance in different languages. The tour begins with a short video that explains life in the place at that time, and then goes out to the area. If the weather is comfortable, you can climb to the cliff and see the cave itself, as well as an amazing view.(Get plenty of water with you). Beware of the souvenir shop, prices are simply an outrage!!

Beautiful historical site where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered on the same day that Israel was recognized as a nation. Worth the visit. Be careful with the gift shop, watch the price’s because there are similar items for half the price if you look closely.

This place was breathtaking. The vastness was like no other place I've seen. Although there's not much to look at, it's still really cool to see where they found the dead sea scrolls. If you visit, remember to bring lots of water and sunscreen because it is hot! Due to it being the lowest point on earth, which is also pretty cool.

Nice place, impressive view. Can get there by cabin car, 80 Nis. Our taxi driver took us there for 100 Nis(4 people, 25 Nis each), or you can walk up there. Guess it can take 20-30min. Make shure yoh have apropriate dress. No shorts! We were not admited to enter...🤥

Just perfect! Great vibes, nice view. You can get there with the cable car. It is the best option. With the personal drivers it is so expensive. The cable car is a very nice experience, you have good views on the way, it does not take long time and it was not expensive.

One of the oldest churches in the world. You should come and visit it when you come to Jericho.

Worth the trek up the hill and steps to fully appreciate the magnificence of this monastery built into the cliff face.

Temptation mountain or deir Quruntal Quruntal in Latin means 40, refers to number of days that Jesus fasted and then Satan tested him. A monastery was founded in the 6th century. From there, very amazing view for the whole Jericho and Jordan. If you want to visit, contact Palestine tours on facebk

This mountain is on the way from Israel to Egypt. Nearby souvenir shops and supermarkets await visitors.

You can hike it but it will be extremely hard. The best is to park and see it from far away.

The monastery is currently closed because of the corona virus, yet you still can enjoy the view from the top of the mountain with a cold drink or a cup of tea with Shisha. Much recommend

THE MOUNT OF TEMPTATION - JERICHO The place where Christ was tempted by the devil during his 40-day fast – Lies in Jericho, about 5km north-west from the city - A towering limestone mountain - Also called Mount Quarantania – About 366 metres (1,201 ft) high - Halfway up to its top stands the Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Temptation – Cable car facility provided up to here - The summit offers a panoramic view of the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea and the nearby mountains – Jericho is the oldest inhabited city in the world (human settlement from 9000 BCE) – As such, the city of Jericho and the mountain of temptation remind us of our glorious history of the past 11,000 years.

This is where jesus went to fast for 40 days and 40 nights. It would not have been hard to do. Very barren yet stunning landscape. You can get cable car up the mountain but we didn't have time to do that. Fantastic monastery built on the side of the mountain and fortunately only men are allowed to visit. As i sat what woman want to spend her time in a place with no electricity or hot running water. Beautiful scenery though

The view up there is truly stunning. I was amazed how they build this structure on a cliff like this. The story of temptation is interesting for Christians too.

Very nice monastery , up the mountain up of Jerico city. You can hike up by foot and by cable car from the city of jerico

A friend drove us up the hill because walking is really hard especially in the heat, but there is a funicular you can use too. The insides look amazing and the monks are very friendly and give you access to the part where the stone is which Jesus could have made to bread while fasting. The view on the balconies is amazing and I would love to go again. On the other side there is a little playground, a restaurant and a souvenir shop. All in all its very great to see and even more interesting of you know the story to it.

Beautiful desert monastery built on the cliff, must visit site while visiting Jericho city. Take a cable car or walk up the hill and enjoy breathtaking views over Jordan valley. The monastery is as well an important pilgrimage site that commemorates Jesus 40 day fast in the desert.

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.

The olive trees that are hundreds of years old are a wonderful reminder of history as well as Scripture about Jesus in his time here. There is a niche in the garden to pray. The trees are very well kept and it is peaceful. The Church of All Nations just beside the garden is also very moving. It contains ancient mosaics. For any pilgrim this experience will be very moving.

The access is on the side road, it ia free, the church is marvellous, one thing the oil form the olives is not quite affordable, but everything else is just great

So peaceful, so beautiful. We visited the place right before closing time, and I'm so glad we did because the timing was perfect. There were not a lot of people there anymore so we got to enjoy and take in the place without a crowd. There is a special tranquility to the place, even if some heavy traffic is right there besides the site. Still you can totally enjoy your stroll, I honestly didn't even notice the sounds of traffic. The olive trees are so beautiful...

Interesting to see the place that was written about in the New Testament. Seeing the Olive trees and the garden gives you perspective and allows you take thoughts back to the time when Jesus walked in Jerusalem. The garden is not that big. There are crowds that are there as it is very popular. There are plenty of photo opportunities. Its a must stop in Jerusalem if you prefer to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

The atmosphere here was truly special and I could really sense God's peace and presence in s tangible way.

Again this is one place that you CANNOT miss on your trip to Israel. It's where JESUS sweated blood- because HE knew the immense suffering (the Cup of Suffering) HE was about to endure. JESUS CHRIST was praying to HIS FATHER & the Disciples kept falling asleep & HE asked them could you not stay & pray with me even for one hour? Very significant place at these 2000 year old Olive trees. 🫒

Beautiful Olive Tree garden outside the historic Church of all Nations near the Mount of Olives. The garden is filled with ancient olive trees and is a place of peace and rest. The garden is at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem where, according to the four Gospels of the New Testament, Jesus underwent the agony in the garden and was arrested before his crucifixion. Breathtaking location in Israel.

It was a holyday eve and half of the floor was closed due to cleaning precess. Me and the kids were excited to see the western wall - the only real memorial of the 2,000 years destroyed temple

Visiting the Western Wall was a profoundly moving experience. Standing before its ancient stones, I felt a deep spiritual connection — a sense of holiness, history, and prayer that touched my soul. It was a moment of true inner peace and awe.

The most holy and special place I have ever been to, holy to Jews but also to anyone who wants to connect with our spirituality! It's something in the air that you feel is priceless!

This is the holiest site at which Jews are permitted to pray. In 1925 the Moslem Waqf published a pamphlet that explicitly acknowledged the Kotel as part of Solomon's Temple, declaring "Its identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute". After Israel's creation in 1948 the so called Palestinians deny any connection of Jews to the site.

The first time I came here I felt a charge of energy when I touched the wall. I wasn’t religious but couldn’t explain the overwhelming amount of emotion that came over me. That was over ten years ago. Last year I came back, now religious, and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to come here and daven on behalf of my friends and family.

The holiest place on Earth. The only remaining wall left standing after the Roman destruction of the second temple built by Herod. It has become the beacon for Judaism for the last 2000 years. Jews as well as all monothiests come here to beseech thier creator. One day soon it will be rebuilt to its proper grandeur

The Kotel is pure holiness — a spiritual place kept beautifully, with water, clean bathrooms, and everything maintained just as such a makom kadosh deserves.

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.

Come here as early as possible: Before 8:00 in the morning. Avoid visiting during 10:00-1400 because this is the most popular time for guide tour. Otherwise, come here after late 18:00. In doing so, separate you Via Dodorosa walk into 2 parts. One part is station 1-7 which is outside church and another station 8-14 in the church. This is possible by 2 day's visit instead of 1. By doing so, you will be rewarded greatly. An empty, serene and sacred church is all for you. No queue, no smoke, no noisy. Reflection at a corner, what a kind of spiritual awakeness. Praise Lord!

Interesting site. Im Christian, not Catholic, so I dont love all the idols everywhere, but beautiful church and historic, no doubt. I also dont know how they know these sites are legit, but its a cool place to see.

Was lucky enough to go with a tour guide and get a full run down of the space - it’s obviously supremely important to many sects and denominations in Christianity and the reverence for that was evident - many people were over come with emotions. As well as pointing out various things to us, the guide pointed out some of the possible over zealous aspects too, saying people had fought over the privilege of clearing the area outside the church (including a fight to the death over whether the bottom step was to be cleaned by one group or another) and a bench occupied by a large man in religious robes who sits there all day, because that is his denominations bench and no others are allowed to sit there. It’s amazing to see the various places where Jesus’ body was placed and buried, but also to see the reaction of people to those things. It’s also one of the areas where you feel tourism hasn’t taken over - quiet reverence in full effect. Make the trip if you ever can

Absolutely beautiful and moving church it was an amazing experience to visit the site of Jesus christs crucifixion and resurrection. The church is vast and awe inspiring please note you will not be allowed to enter the sepulchre with shorts even if they cover you knees. Although this applied to me I was delighted to have visited

Bottom line The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is more than a landmark—it’s a spiritual pilgrimage, a work of art, and a window into centuries of faith. For believers and curious travelers alike, it’s an essential stop on any Jerusalem itinerary, offering profound moments of reverence, history, and shared humanity.

I’m a Christian and a priest-in-training, and this just wasn’t for me in terms of finding a connection with Jesus or feeling close to God. I can appreciate the craftsmanship of the building, and the significance of the site, but for so many reasons I felt sad and anguished in this place. Worth a visit, but leaves you with much to reflect on. There were many other places on pilgrimage that left me breathless. The Holy Sepulchre was unfortunately not one of them.

This is the most holy site in Jerusalem. This is the place where our Lord Jesus Christ was laid in a tomb after he was brought down from the cross. The place is usually very crowded. Better be there early in the morning to avoid the rush. The historical structure looks awesome. You can feel the peace and holiness as you enter in. A must visit place.

They are open 9a-3p every day currently and we went on Saturday and it was open. Wonderful to see the place of the baptism of Christ! They have an amazing restaurant with great burgers overlooking the river. Very classy and upscale place.

The blanket they call a robe is just a sheet cut into pieces and costs $25. And they yell that you can't swim without it. Even though there's a beach a meter away. Go on in and swim wherever you want. And tourists that they bring by busses pays it. 25 per 48 person's, 1200 per bus. Just to enter to free Yardenit river. Interesting. I wonder if Christ would approve?

A peaceful and well-kept place by the Jordan River, where, according to tradition, Jesus was baptized. If you’re a believer, this spot holds deep meaning and spiritual value. If you visit it from a cultural or historical point of view, it’s still a very interesting and meaningful site to explore. You can take a quiet walk along the river and enjoy the calm atmosphere.

One of my favorite stops on the Jordan River! It is free to enter, although they do charge for bathrooms, but the river itself is in a gorgeous location surrounded by trees, and it feels much more like it would have hundreds and thousands of years ago. It is a baptism site, so expect to see lots of people in and out of the water getting baptized.

Nice area at the Jordan River. The nature here is really beautiful and seems to be part of a jungle in South America (and not in Israel). There is the is the possibility to have a bath/baptism in the river which is frequently used. There are showers as well which might be useful in cold days. The entrance is foe free and the is a large merchandise shop.

A Canadian Tourist Review: This is where tour buses take groups who want to get baptized in the Jordan River like Jesus did. I wish they took us to a spot that wasn't as heavy on souvenirs. You must walk through a big souvenir shop just to get through the entrance to the Jordan River. I have been to thousands of attractions and never seen a souvenir shop at the entrance as mandatory to go through. On the other side, lineups of hundreds of people getting baptized, horses and colts near the water, and thousands of fish is interesting to see. Note the area for walking along the river is about 100 meters. You're not going to be here for more than half an hour unless partaking in a baptism.

It was one of the world travel life experiences I recommend to dip your feet in the River Jordan and watch some emotional Baptisms of people from all around the world on a sentimental day of their life. The gift shop has many items that capture the essence of this special place.

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 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 great place to spend another hour. Kangaroos are so cute! They are all around you. Take one of them and hug him :) You can feed them, just take a couple of coins to acquire some food. You can feed parrots and goats as well! This zoo is just super nice and relaxed. There are discounts with Max credit card, HighTech Zone, and many others

Jad a great time with my son and wife at the park we did a overnight camp and tour. Which was fantastic and the staff are so knowledgeable. Will definitely go back. Would have given 5 star but because there we now showers for guests.

First off all was greeted very nicely at the gate when buying tickets second of all they have kangaroos that not only you can be right next to them you can actually feed them they have machine that you put in 1 shek and it gives you food that you can hand feed the kangs what an awesome experience and also they have a bird place that you can feed the birds they fly and land on your shoulder or head lol definitely great place for children

Great place. The employees are kind and welcoming. It's very hot out there, so make sure you're properly equipped. They also installed water mist sprinklers above head level so you get nice cooling spray every now and again. And most importantly, you can pat kangaroos!!! Make sure to bring single shekels for the kangaroo food vending machine (just like the bubble gum ones)

Great place to visit with family. It is a great place since there are many interactions with the animals, children will enjoy it a lot. Moreover, and most importantly, that the animals are taken care of and look happy, compared to other zoos.

I really couldn’t have loved this more! Oh yeah the kids too! :) Beautiful park with several animals but the ticket was worth the kangaroo petting zoo alone. You get to sit and pet and feed and play with several kangaroos of different types. They were friendly and the staff were helpful and provided lots of educational facts to our group. We will be going again whenever we are up north!

Who knew you could find a slice of Australia in Israel (outside of an embassy). Great for families and animal lovers alike. You get the chance to get up close with a variety of animals (parrots, kangaroos, goats, the occasional wandering peacock) and the chance to feed them. Kangaroos can be fed anytime by paying a Shekel in a food dispenser while the bird feeding areas occur only at specific times. The staff here are extremely knowledgeable with the animals and clearly care for them deeply.

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.

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.

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.

Gorgeous location, despite not spotting many birds at this time. A wonderful place to picnic and spend the day. A golf cart is recommended around the track, but bare in mind it has to be returned within 1.5h.

A wonderful and unique place. A birdwatcher's dream specially during migration time.

A unique place for cycling and hiking

It's perfect at all seasons. If you rent binoculars or have an amazing camera,you can spot amazing creatures nearby.

Very peaceful not a lot of ppl on a Thursday afternoon. there were some birds to watch, though its out of season (june). A lot of nutrias, donkeys and gamus. Enterece is free, and its possible to rent an electric car or bike. I used my electric skateboard and the route was very smooth. Beautiful sunset and everything is very green.

Very interesting and worthwhile place to visit in Spring or Fall. Here's some background: When the State of Israel was declared in 1948 the Hula valley was a swamp plagued by malaria. In 1951 an extensive engineering project drained the swamp in order to enable agriculture. The swamp became a flourishing region with settlements, orchards, fish ponds and other crops. In 1995 1,000 dunams of land in the Hula valley was reflooded. The valley is located on the Syrian-African rift and today is visited by 500 million birds of 390 species in spring and fall. You can see the birds there, as they migrate from Europe to Africa and back, 15,000 of the 35,000 cranes spend the winter in the Hula park. This has made the area an internationally acclaimed area for bird watchers. The nature reserve is named after the Hebrew word for the sea bulrush found here, Agamon Hahula. This is the nothernmost point in the world where they're located. In addition to the birds there are interesting plants and animals. I saw a Coypu (Natria)- semi acquatic rodent. Some endangered species have been reintroduced. Entrance to the Hula Agamon is free. There is a 10km paved trail that goes around the area. Bicycles and golf carts are available for hire, and there are also guided tours. I knew that the main migration season was over when I dragged myself out of bed on a gray and dreary day to drive up North to the Agamon Hahula. Upon arrival it transpired that the next guided tour would be in 3 hours time and we didn't want to wait. We opted to hike the trail and I am pleased that we did because we would have missed some of the things we saw like the Ibis and Coypu. We heard a lot of birds and saw some, particularly cranes and Hoepoe birds. I am sure there are many more in migration season. We found an abundance of fruit like mulberries and figs. As we reached our car after the hike it started to rain!

If you are a bird fan, thats one of the best places in Israel for birds watching, migrating birds from Africa to Europe and back, mostly water fowls stop here to rest before continuing their journey

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.

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

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).
