Program Description
Each season brings new things to see as the farmers and villagers go about
the tasks of that season: plowing, planting, pruning, harvesting, threshing. The
weaver and the carpenter also demonstrate their crafts. The sounds of sheep and
village children blend on the hillside. Come and learn about the world Jesus
knew - you will want to come back more than once! Specially trained guides lead
visitors in English, German, French, Italian, Arabic, Russian, Hebrew, Spanish
and Finnish. Advance reservations are recommended for groups. Please allow for
additional touring time if your group requires translation.
Parable Walking Tour: A Village guide describes Galilean life in the
first century as visitors meet villagers dressed in first-century costumes
engaging in daily life activities in homes, in the olive press, and on the farm.
One walks past cultivated terraces, an ancient winepress, a watchtower, stone
quarries, grape vines, old olive trees, then enters a replica of a first-century
synagogue. The parables and teachings of Jesus spring to life as one hears the
stories in an authentically recreated setting with donkeys and sheep meandering
by or stopping to pose for petting and photos. The average tour length is 1.25
hours, but can be tailored to meet visitors' requests.
Seasonal Evening Tour: Special seasonal tours are offered during the
Christmas and Easter holiday--excellent experiential tours for the whole family.
In the warmer months by special request, visitors can enjoy an evening tour,
along with a meal served by lamplight. The modern life melts away as the sun
goes down.
First-Century Dining: Foods that would have been
grown on a first-century Galilean farm are served with fresh herbs and savory
flat bread to groups of 15 or more in a beautiful stone dining area with arched
spans that provide a special ambiance and panorama for a unique Middle East
dining experience. Vegetarian or chicken meals are available. Reservations are
required.
