Day 3 - Caesarea, Mt. Carmel, & Megiddo

Wednesday, October 14

Drive north to Caesarea Maritima with its magnificent harbor, theater and aqueduct constructed during the reign of Herod. It was here that Peter explained the way of salvation to the Roman Centurion Cornelius. 
 

Next we ascend Mt. Carmel, site of Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Ba’al. 

 

Drive to the mound of Megiddo, har megiddo in Hebrew, which gave its name to “Armageddon”. Visit the ruins from the time of Israel's kings and descend their impressive water tunnel, the inspiration for James Michener's book "The Source". If time allows, we'll visit a rolling stone tomb on the way.

Finally, if time allows, we will stop at En Harod, the site of Gideon’s victory over the Midianite during the time of the Judges.

 Continue to our hotel along the western shore of the Sea of Galilee for dinner and overnight.
