Take a look at the pictures Jordan valley. The famous Jordan River starts its path in the north of Israel and makes its way to the Sea of Galilee – a beautiful, serene lake where once, Jesus walked on water…. At the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee the Jordan River departs from the lake once again, and starts its way towards the Dead Sea. About a kilometer south of the lake lays the Yardenit, a Christian pilgrimage site, where people are being baptized in the Jordan River water, throughout the year.
This lovely photo overlooking the Jordan River was taken not very far from there – from the cliff of Aoom-joonie, where Degania A, the first Kibbutz in the country and in the world, was first built (later on Degania A moved to its current location on the southern shore of the Sea of Galilee).
Be sure not to miss this scenic area of Israel, its gorgeous, VERY relaxing and dotted with interesting religious sits both to Christens and Jews. All around the Sea of Galilee you will easily find excellent restaurants, fantastic guest houses and warm hospitality. I should know – I was raised there…
Many thanks to Gabi Shekhter from Kibbutz Degania B, who took this picture.
