Capernaum, Korazim & Gospel Landscapes
مقترحةالسعر عند الطلب
On the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, Korazim, and nearby sites offer a close view of Jewish and early Christian life in the first century. A private visit can include the synagogue and village remains at Capernaum, the black-basalt synagogue at Korazim, lakeshore viewpoints, and nearby sites such as Tabgha or the Mount of Beatitudes. The route can focus on the Gospels, Jewish village life, Roman-era Galilee, or Christian pilgrimage. The story is rooted in ordinary Galilean communities: fishing, farming, synagogue life, family networks, and local roads. These were not grand imperial cities, but places where teachings and events later remembered across the world took place.
Sea of Galilee: Faith, Landscape & Lakeshore Life
مقترحةالسعر عند الطلب
The Sea of Galilee is one of the most important landscapes in the Christian world, but it is also a living lake surrounded by fishing villages, farms, Roman sites, and hills shaped by thousands of years of settlement. A private day can combine Capernaum, Magdala, Tabgha, Mount Arbel, a boat ride, local food, and quiet lakeshore viewpoints. The route can focus on the life and ministry of Jesus, Jewish communities in the Roman period, nature, or the geography of the Galilee. The story of the lake is one of ordinary life becoming sacred history. Fishing boats, village roads, fields, synagogues, and family homes became the setting for events remembered far beyond the Galilee.
Galilee Horseback Riding
مقترحةالسعر عند الطلب
Explore the Galilee from a different perspective, following quiet paths through open hills, fields, woodland, and rural landscapes. A horseback ride can be a peaceful break from museums and cities, or part of a broader day in the north with local food, wineries, villages, and viewpoints. Routes vary by season, riding experience, and the stable’s location. The story is in the pace of the ride: the Galilee becomes less a list of places to visit and more a lived landscape of farms, orchards, villages, weather, and open country.
Tabgha: Loaves, Fish & the Galilee Shore
مقترحةالسعر عند الطلب
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.
Hamat Tiberias & Tiberias: Sages, Synagogues & Hot Springs
مقترحةالسعر عند الطلب
Tiberias grew beside the Sea of Galilee as a Roman city, a centre of Jewish learning, and a place known for its hot springs. Hamat Tiberias preserves an ancient synagogue with one of Israel’s most important mosaic floors. A private visit can include the synagogue mosaic, the hot springs area, the lakeshore, tombs of Jewish sages, and a wider exploration of Tiberias’s role in the development of rabbinic Judaism. The story of Tiberias is about adaptation. A city founded in the Roman world became a major Jewish centre after the destruction of Jerusalem, helping preserve and shape traditions that would travel far beyond the Galilee.
Magdala: Mary Magdalene & First-Century Galilee
مقترحةالسعر عند الطلب
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.

Дмитрий Балюк
موثّق ✓Hello. My name is Dmitry. I am a licensed tour guide in Israel, based in Caesarea. I love God, people, and nature. I conduct Christian, historical, and archaeological tours—both group and private. I enjoy creating surprises and memorable moments for tourists. Я — Дмитрий Балюк, лицензированный гид Министерства туризма Израиля. Работаю индивидуально с русскоязычными туристами и христианскими паломниками, составляю авторские маршруты в комфортном темпе. Провожу экскурсии по всему Израилю и работаю только на русском языке. Для поездок использую комфортный седан. Я окончил Академический колледж Кинерета (Kinneret Academic College) по специальности «История и археология Израиля», а затем прошёл там же курсы экскурсоводов по Израилю. Поэтому на маршруте вы услышите не пересказ путеводителя, а целостную картину того, как археология, история и Писание соединяются в тех местах, которые мы посещаем. Лицензия Министерства туризма Израиля — результат этой профессиональной подготовки. Она также даёт право проводить экскурсии в национальных парках и на охраняемых памятниках. Помимо работы гидом, я служитель и проповедник в церкви христиан веры евангельской в городе Ор-Акива. Для меня Святая Земля — не только история и древние камни, но и живая вера. Я бережно и с уважением к традиции и молитве сопровождаю православных, католических и протестантских паломников. Я понимаю, зачем люди приезжают пройти по Виа Долороза, побывать у Гроба Господня и помолиться у Иордана, и создаю каждое путешествие с вниманием к его смыслу, деталям и спокойному темпу, которого заслуживает паломничество.
