Why Walk Nazareth
Nazareth is a city of profound religious significance — the Basilica of the Annunciation marks the traditional site where the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary. It is also the largest Arab city in Israel, and its old market, winding lanes, and family-run restaurants offer an authentic experience of Arab-Israeli culture.
