Travel in Tiberias
Tiberias has been a popular destination for tourists for over 2000 years. As early as Roman times, this thriving recreation spa, built around 17 natural mineral hot springs more than 600 ft. below sea level, extended a warm welcome to visitors from every part of the ancient world.
The New Testament contains several references to the lake, which is also known as the Sea of Tiberias, the Sea of Galilee, Lake Tiberias, and the Sea of Gennesaret. No other area in the world is so closely associated with the life and times of Jesus. It is a religious center for Christians and Jews alike, with many religious shrines and historical sites.
Today Tiberias and the surrounding shores of the Sea of Galilee is a year-round vacation spot. The Sea of Galilee offers every conceivable water sport. Its 32 mile shoreline abounds with natural trails, hills to climb and caves to explore.
