Day 5: Tel Dan – Banias - boat ride, Sea of Galilee

We will start the day by driving to the Upper Galilee on our way to Tel Dan. Here, Jeroboam erected a golden calf for the Israelites to worship, marking the beginning of the events that would end with the “the ten lost tribes of Israel”. The restored walls and gates give us an excellent idea of the fortifications Joshua had to face as he conquered the land.
We will visit Banias, known as Caesarea Philippi in the days of Jesus, where he asked his disciples, “Whom do ye say that I am?”
Our day would not be complete without a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee where we will discuss Jesus walking on the water and stilling the storm.
