Additional Information

The Lower Galilee, a region in Israel, is a short one-hour car ride from major urban areas like Tel Aviv, but feels like a completely different world. Being the less undulating terrain of Galilee, the Lower Galilee extends from the eastern fringes of Mount Carmel, passing through the Jezreel Valley (known in Christian teachings as the Valley of Armageddon) all the way to the Sea of Galilee. Landmarks in the region include Mount Tabor, BET SHEARIM, Megiddo, TZIPPORI, and Mount Gilboa, as well as the city of Nazareth, and abundant nature and recreational offerings.
