Journeying the land jesus called home

Let us take you on an incredible journey to discover the landscape where Jesus was raised and performed the many miracles that highlighted His ministry.
 
The Jesus Trek is an unforgettable 9-days experience that will guide you along a 60km/40-mile trail from Nazareth, the home town of Jesus, to Capernaum, which is located on the beautiful shores of the Sea of Galilee. Unlike many traditional sites throughout Israel, this region remains virtually untouched, appearing today just like it did when Jesus Himself walked these hills, called His disciples, taught the crowds and healed the sick. Besides the Trek, you will visit the Old Town of Jaffa, Caesarea Maritima, Mount Carmel, Mount Precipice, Magdala, Mount of Beatitudes, the Jordan River Baptism Site, the Dead Sea, the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Garden Tomb, the Southern Steps and the Western Wall, as well as experience an authentic boat ride on the Sea of Galilee.
 
Let’s take this opportunity to walk in the steps of Jesus and connect to the miracles and the message that has touched millions of lives around the world. Come join us on the Jesus Trek Journeys.
