Program Description

Each season brings new things to see as the farmer and villagers go about the tasks of that season: plowing, planting, pruning, harvesting, threshing. The weaver and the carpenter demonstrate their crafts.
The sounds of sheep and village children blend on the hillside and take and learn about the world Jesus knew at Nazareth Village you'll 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 and then enters 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.

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 10 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.

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.
