Tiberias, Sefad and Meiron Mountain

Driving north through the coastal road is an amazing opportunity to explore the beautiful nature of Israel. We will reach Tiberias that situated on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, also known as Kinneret. King Herod Antipas established the city in the first century. There been reveled similar structures from Talmud and Mishna periods. We will visit the graves of holy sages such as Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes and Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon (Rambam); we will walk through the ancient ruins that are still noticeable among the modern city.
Further, proceeding to Sefad:- one of Israel’s four holy cities and most beautiful ones. Sefad is the perfect spiritual place for those who seek pure spiritual experience. In this city you’ll find a village atmosphere spiced with culture. A bit of legacy, a bit of nature, some religious points, Kabala, a lot of different beliefs, good food, great spa, breathe holding mountain view and cool fresh air that always makes you feel good. Safed is full of diversities and conflicts which makes it that special place, where spirituality and materialism meet and live together side by side. Where cool European air meets with the so Israeli housing complex, this is Safed. At the dark quiet nights you can hear the spiritual wind blowing in the alleys. Visit the synagogue, where Ari Hakadosh prayed, where Reb Joseph Karo composed the Shulchan Aroch (Jewish religious law). Further proceed to the Visitors center and stop by the artist village. Don’t forget to visit the famous candle factory outlet. Vibrant colors of candles and it’s diverse shape, some of them influenced by the Jewish history, make this place truly magical.
Next stop is the Mountain Meron, one of the Israel’s highest mountains: second tallest. Mountain Meron is Galilee’s biggest nature reserve. Enjoy a breathtaking view from the mountain to Sefad and its nearest areas. Visit the tombs of righteous: Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and his son Rabbi Elazar, there you will truly experience a holy spirit of the mystical atmosphere.
