Tiberias is a popular resort area located on a steep hillside overlooking Israel’s only freshwater lake, the Sea of Galilee.

No pilgrimage would be complete without a visit to this holy city, it’s significant religious sites around the lake, and the charming Old City. Aside from its historical monuments, Tiberias is a wonderful place to spend a relaxing summer holiday with numerous leisure activities and watersports on offer.

The new city's downtown area is a vibrant commercial centre complete with a variety of restaurants, pubs, souvenir shops, bustling bazaars and live music venues.

Take a horse-drawn carriage around town or rent a bicycle and spend the day exploring the gorgeous beaches and natural springs dotted along the shoreline.
