TEL AVIV - THE CAPITOL OF ISRAEL, APR.2014

Tel Aviv is the Capitol of the new State of Israel, founded again in 1949 by United Nation on the land of old Judea, after the last Kingdom of Herod in first Century CE. It is contemporary city on the coast of Mediterranean Sea. We landed there on the International Airport and were transported to the old Capitol – Jerusalem by car. From there we did our touristic tours in the Holy Land of Israel. First we visited the Old city of Jerusalem, second - Dead Sea and Masada Castle in South Israel. Our third tour to North Israel – Nazareth and Sea of Galilee started from Tel Aviv. We were delivered back by small bus, together with other tourists and attached to a bigger luxury bus for full day travel around North Israel. We succeed to take some photos on the way from Jerusalem to and through Tel Aviv. The most representative building is of their Parliament, like is the Capitol building in Washington, DC. Around the Coast are built many new hotels and luxury apartment buildings and houses. It’s look like you are in some tropical paradise in Central or South Amerika, not in deserts of the Middle East. The best photos from Tel Aviv are shown in this short blog-album.

HOLLY LAND OF ISRAEL 3, APR.2014

Our third tour in The Holly Land of Israel in April 2014 was through Tel Aviv to North Israel – Nazareth, Tiberias, Sea of Galilee, Tabne and Capernaum and Jordan River – Jardenit. We were taken by car from the hotel Prima Royal, where we were sleeping in Jerusalem and attached to one group for travel by small bus to Tel Aviv. We took the road to Tel Aviv on the Mediterian Sea, crossed the big city and stopped at the coast. We were transferred to big luxury bus, traveling to the Holy places in North Israel.
   The first stop was Nazareth, the town our God Jesus spend almost all his younger years in the traditional home of Mary and Joseph - his parents. Nazareth's population is 1/3 Christian, 2/3 Muslim with small Jewish population. Nazarean Arabs are content as Israeli citizens. Basilica of the Annunciation is build on the cite believed to be Mary’s home, where Archangel Gabriel heralded the birth of Jesus. Inside in the Church is the Grotto of Annunciation, the site of Mary’s home. St.Joseph Byzantine style Church is built on the top of the cave thought to be Joseph’s house. The small town of Nazareth was full of tourists mainly Christians from all the world.
