A unique Holy Land site known as the hometown of Mary Magdalene, located at the shores of the Sea of Galilee. The archaeological site features a complete first century town from the times of Jesus. It is one of Israel´s most recent archaeological discoveries with the best preserved synagogue in the Galilee. Complementary tours of the site are available upon request. The site also features "Duc in Altum" a place for worship and prayer. Magdala is known as a crossroads of Jewish and Christian History, and will soon also feature a guesthouse in opening mid-2018.

This is a special place. The small excavation site contextualises the role of Mary Magdalene in the life of Jesus and is complemented by the exquisite modern church nearby, its altar a boat which appears to be sailing on the Sea of Galilee outside the window, with its mast forming a cross above. It is surrounded in the atrium by eight vibrant pillars honouring women of faith. Fr Eamon Kelly is a warm and welcoming presence. We were invited into a private room at the end of our visit where he and volunteer Rosa led the singing of ‘Happy Birthday’ to our guide, Eyal Carmel. It was a delightful moment!

I have visited Acre several times, and always been taken to see the Jail but on this visit, we saw this quite unique Synagogue. Every surface, floors, walls and ceilings are in magnificent mosaic, showing scenes from the Old Testament and other day to day scenes. Well worth a visit.

So many attractions here at Tel Dan. The Wading Pool, The Pistachio lookout, The Pooh Bear Tree, Leshem Spring, Dan Spring, The Canaanite gate and the Israelite gate among other things. There is a short trail(flour mill and wading pool one hour) and a longer trail 1 1/2 hours..Dan Springs. Worth seeing!

My visit to Nazareth Village was the highlight of my 10 day trip to the Holy Land, and a welcome change from the other churches and holy sites in the area. The guides are very knowledgeable, and the interactive nature of the experience makes it very engaging and interesting. I was with a group of about 30 which was a good size group for a tour. Seeing the weaver, carpenter, synagogue, wine press, olive press, shepherds, garden, townspeople and more helped the stories of the Bible come alive and provide more understanding of the village and context in which Jesus lived. Our group spent about 1 1/2 hours here, which felt rushed and not enough time to fully experience everything. Make sure to check out the nice gift shop too. Nazareth Village is highly recommended.
