The Sea of Galilee is spectacular Israel pilgrimage highlight. This fresh water lake is also called in Hebrew “Kinneret” because of its harp shape. It is 14 miles long, 7 miles wide, 700 feet deep and 33 miles around it’s shore. Famous views are from Mount Arbel, Tiberias, the Mount of Beatitudes and the Golan Heights. The Sea of Galilee is also on route for bird migration between Europe and Africa. There is wonderful plant and wildlife in the region and you will feel as if you’re in the Garden of Eden.
