Tiberias Travel Guide

Tiberias, an ancient city on the Sea of Galilee, is famed for cruises, hot springs, and as one of Judaism's four holy cities.

📍 Destination Overview

Tiberias, on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel, founded in the 1st century AD, is one of Judaism's four holy cities.
