We welcome you to join a tour of this astonishing historic site led by an expert guide who will retell some of Jesus’s teachings and parable within their original context. Come and situate the grand story of the Bible within the small town that is central to its narrative. Feel the village come alive with authentically clothed “villagers” as they carry out their daily routines, earn a living and care for their wildlife. Among others, you’ll meet Joseph the carpenter and Hannah the weaver, both usually hard at work mastering their crafts and always eager to teach inquisitive guests.
The Nazareth Village tour is consistently ranked among the best of Nazareth’s tourist attractions, and for good reason. Whether you’re interested in the hometown of Jesus from a biblical or historic perspective, the Nazareth Village will provide a truly enriching experience for you and your family or group. As Philip said to Nathanael regarding Nazareth in John 1:46, “Come and see”.
