The Israeli Museum is the largest and most important cultural institution in all of Israel. Here the Shrine of the Book houses the Dead Sea Scrolls and artifacts found at Masada.

The Romans rebuilt Beit Shean in 63 BC and renamed it Scythopolis. It remains one of Israel's best preserved Roman amphitheaters.

Rimonim Galei Kinnereth Hotel: B
Board a boat to Capernaum to visit St. Peter's house and the Mount of Beatitudes, the site where Christ gave his famous Sermon on the Mount. Later, drive to the Golan Heights, a natural cliff-like area of land overlooking Upper Galilee.

Located on Israel's Mediterranean coastline is the beautiful seaport city of Haifa. Dating back to Biblical times, the city was built on the slopes of historic Mount Carmel. Over time, it has fallen under the rule of the Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottomans and Egyptians. Now this bustling port city has the reputation as northern Israel's cultural capital thanks to the numerous cultural centers and museums. Haifa is also home to the Bahá'í World Center. View the astonishing city of Caesarea en route to Tel Aviv. Built by King Herod in honor of Caesar Augustus, the ancient city of Caesarea is significant in Roman and Christian history. In the excavated theater a stone was found bearing parts of an inscription mentioning Pontius Pilate - the only secular record of his existence.
