Top 10 attractions in Tiberias
Yardenit
Before the Jordan River flows into the Dead Sea, two bridges span it: the Abdullah Bridge and the Arunby Bridge, which form the border between Israel and Jordan. Between these two bridges, 8 kilometers from the desert oasis of Jericho, lies the site where Jesus is traditionally believed to have been baptized. The Jordan River is a quiet stream, far less wide than it was in Jesus' time. The baptismal site (Yardenit) is surrounded by eucalyptus trees and vines on both banks. The narrow channel and shallow water allow one to see right to the bottom. The calm water is almost imperceptible. Only the movement of small fish creates slight ripples. A wooden sign on the bank reads "The Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ" in both English and Hebrew. There are steps along the riverbank for believers to read the Bible, and several metal railings in the river. The place where Jesus was baptized is a holy site that his followers yearn for throughout their lives. To be baptized at the site of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan River is a lifelong honor. It is said that when members of the British royal family are baptized, the royal family sends a special plane here to fill up with Jordan River water, and then flies back to distant Britain to use the Jordan River water for baptism. Every day, people from different countries, different ethnicities, and different skin colors gather at the site of Jesus' baptism; it is estimated that the number exceeds 500,000 people annually.Kinnerot · 10.2 km from Tiberias
The Church of the Beatitudes
The Church of the Beatitudes is located on the Mount of Beatitudes near the Lake of Galilee. It is said that it was the place where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, discussing the "Blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven". The Beatitudes are the abbreviation of "The True Meaning of the Beatitudes", which means that Jesus pointed out that the eight kinds of people in the world are blessed. Established in 1938, the church is octagonal in shape, meaning eight blessings. Standing on the corridor surrounded by stone pillars, you can have a panoramic view of the picturesque garden nearby and the mighty Lake of Galilee in the distance. Inside the church, on the windows of the eight bell-shaped vaults, some of the words of Jesus on blessings are engraved with simple fonts.Kinnerot · 9.7 km from Tiberias

Church of the Primacy of Saint Peter
It commemorates the miracle of Jesus performing "five loaves and two fish" when he preached in Galilee. It is said that Jesus fed 5,000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fish. In the church there is a stone table where the resurrected Lord prepares breakfast for the disciples, now called "the table of Christ". Under the table is a fish cake pattern paved with mosaics, and here you can also buy various tourist crafts engraved with phase patterns. Tabgha, where Jesus performed the "five loaves and two fish", was on the shore of Lake Galilee. It was originally named Heptapegon, which means "seven springs". Today, only six of them are found. Because the temperature of the spring water is lower than that of Lake Galilee, it is conducive to the formation of algae, thus attracting fish to gather. It is a gathering place for fishermen in ancient and modern times.Kinnerot · 8.7 km from Tiberias

The Church of the Beatitudes is located on the shore of the Sea of Galilee in Tiberias in northern Israel. It is named after the Bible where Jesus preached to believers, which is the famous Eight Gospels.
Unlike other church buildings, the Church of the Beatitudes is octagonal in structure, with eight windows under the dome, which display the contents of the Eight Gospels.

The Sea of Galilee, Israel's only clear water lake, shimmered with azure waters. Under a blue sky and white clouds, a gentle breeze blew, creating a picturesque scene. The captain raised the five-star red flag for us, feeling immense pride and joy.

It's great - not too long and not too short. We also learned how to grow animal organs, and to answer all our questions with the owner's farm and us. After that, we arrived at our own avocados, avocados and ice sands. They were delicious.
