DAY 4: Sunday, March 29, 2009
Tiberias and Upper Galilee

This morning we leave Tiberias and head north via Magdala into the valley of Gennesareth to Ginossar to view the New Testament boat found below the sea and to visit the kibbutz.

From there it's on to Chorazin, through the Hula Valley to Hazor, the ruins of the powerful Canaanite city destroyed by Joshua and rebuilt by Solomon to command upper Galilee.

Later we'll continue to the northern limits of Jesus' travel as we cross the River Hatzbani to Dan and Banias (Caesarea Philippi), dedicated to Pan, the Greek god of pastures, flocks and shepherds. From here Peter made his great profession of faith.

We'll finish our tour for the day by driving to the foot of Mount Hermon, where we will ascend onto the Golan Plateau for a magnificent view of upper Israel. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
