Magdala preserves the remains of a first-century Jewish town on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. The site includes streets, markets, ritual baths, fishing-related installations, and a remarkably well-preserved synagogue. A private visit can focus on the Jewish life of the town, the Roman-era Galilee, the figure of Mary Magdalene, and the development of Christian pilgrimage around the lake. It can be combined with Capernaum, Tabgha, Mount Arbel, or a wider Sea of Galilee route. Magdala brings the first-century Galilee down to human scale. It was a working lakeshore town, shaped by fishing, trade, worship, family life, and the social world from which early Christianity emerged.

Tabgha: Loaves, Fish & the Galilee Shore

الجليل ومرتفعات الجولانمناسب للعائلةالكتاب المقدس والحج

Tabgha lies on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee and is associated with Christian traditions of the multiplication of loaves and fishes and the calling of Peter. A private visit can include the Church of the Multiplication, the Church of the Primacy of Saint Peter, lakeshore views, and nearby Capernaum or the Mount of Beatitudes. The route can focus on Christian pilgrimage, the Gospels, the landscape of the lake, or the everyday setting of first-century Galilee. The value of Tabgha lies in its simplicity. A quiet stretch of shore, a small church, fish, bread, and water connect a familiar landscape with stories that became central to Christian memory.

In the hills near Israel’s northern border, Bar’am preserves the remains of a Jewish village from the Roman and Byzantine periods. Its synagogue, built from large dressed stones, is one of the most impressive in the Galilee. The site is small, quiet, and full of detail. A visit opens a window onto Jewish life in the Galilee after the destruction of the Second Temple, when villages, scholars, and synagogues helped shape a new religious and cultural centre. The synagogue is a reminder that Jewish life did not end with the destruction of Jerusalem, but found new centres of learning, prayer, and community in the Galilee.

David Perlmutter is a licensed Israel tour guide who has been guiding since 1988, with private tours a specialty since he purchased his first off-road vehicle in 1993. Born and raised in the US, he moved to Israel as a young adult, farmed an avocado grove on Kibbutz Einat, and served in the Israeli Defense Forces before entering the guiding profession. His company, Israel Adventure Journeys Ltd., is his platform for private guiding work across Israel. David is among Israel’s most recognised guides on wine and wine tourism.

He holds the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Level 3 Award in Wines, passed with Merit. Fellow guides, winemakers, and members of Israel’s wine industry regularly consult him on wine tourism.

Nearly four decades of criss-crossing the country on foot, by mountain bike, and in off-road vehicles have given David an intimate familiarity with Israel’s geography. He leads mountain-bike journeys ranging from relaxed vineyard rides paired with tastings to single-track riding in the Negev and multi-day sections of the Israel Bike Trail. Full logistical support can be arranged, including bike rental, transport, repairs, and accommodation when needed. David lives with his wife Tamar and their four sons in Eliav, a young community in the Lachish region. He also volunteers as a first responder and ambulance crew member with Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service.
