Tiberias is best known for its location on the shore of the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret in Hebrew). It is also a city rich in history.

Christians will find Crusader churches in the city of Tiberias and will enjoy visiting nearby Capernaum, Mount Beatitudes and the Jordan River.
For the most relaxing vacation, when you’re in Tiberias, stay in Rimonim Mineral Hotel, which offers included access to the Tiberias Hot Springs. Relax in the hot mineral water, and cool off afterwards in the refreshing pool. Enjoy private beach access and the beautiful ornamental gardens surrounding the hotel.
