Mediterranean Sea / Caesarea / Mount Carmel / Megiddo / Plain of Armageddon

After a later than normal breakfast, we board our motor coach to travel up the west coast of Israel along the Mediterranean Sea to Caesarea. We will visit the Crusader’s Castle, the Roman Amphitheater and water duct, and the port from which the Apostle Paul sailed to Rome. Driving through the Jezreel Valley, we’ll visit Megiddo and continue to the fields of Armageddon (Revelation 16:16), continuing northward along the Mediterranean Sea to Haifa and Mt. Carmel – the biblical site of Elijah’s contest with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18). Traveling eastward across Galilee we will view Mount Tabor, the traditional site of the transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8), Deboriya – the hometown of the prophetess Deborah – at the foothill of Mt. Tabor (Judges 4-5). Then we’ll head back to Nazareth for dinner and overnight.
