Transfer from Ben Gurion Airport to Nazareth

Currently, there aren't as many tourists in Israel for understandable reasons. Perhaps, this is your chance to see what you want in a peaceful environment, without peeking over the heads of a huge crowd of tourists to see or hear something. Easter is approaching soon, and everyone has the opportunity to visit the so-called "center of Christianity" - Nazareth. However, be prepared for the fact that historically, this is one of the most Arab cities in Israel. Approximately 70% of the city's inhabitants are Muslim Arabs, and the remaining 30% are Arab Christians. It is the only city in the country where the day off is on Sunday, not Saturday.

In Old Testament times, Nazareth was just an ordinary small peasant settlement and only became famous because it was where Jesus Christ spent his childhood. By the 2000th anniversary of Christianity, Nazareth has changed a lot. Car traffic has been removed from the city center, making it pedestrian-friendly. And, most importantly, an open-air museum has been created - the Nazareth Village of Jesus' time. There, you can see the life of peasants in the 1st century AD: residential houses, terraces, wine presses, as well as actors in historical costumes.
