What a beautiful town it was, oh and the ocean!

Olive trees in the distance from Mt. PrecipiceMy hubby with Mt. Tabor in the background.
Mount Tabor. … In the Hebrew Bible (Joshua, Judges), Mount Tabor is the site of the Battle of Mount Tabor between the Israelite army under the leadership of Barak and the army of the Canaanite king of Hazor, Jabin, commanded by Sisera. In Christian tradition, Mount Tabor is the site of the transfiguration of Jesus. (Google search)
After leaving Mt. Tabor, we headed on to our hotel, that night would be our first night in Tiberias.
The next few posts will be more photos and less words.
I’ll caption whatever I can; if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Enjoy.

The Dome of the Rock from the Mt. of Olives.
Our guide told us that the Dome of the Rock is essentially a large tombstone with no one buried inside.
The Dome of the Rock is built on top of the Foundation Stone, which is sacred to both Jews and Muslims.
The Golden Gate from the Mt. of Olives.
On our trip around the city, we saw all of the gates.

We were sad to leave, but had much more to see on that day.

Bodies were allowed to stay in the tombs for one year.
The bones were then removed so that the tomb could be used again.
Passing by a set up for a city festival day.
This area is being set up for a city wide festival, many bands at the same venue.
The cool thing is that there are maybe six places all around that have this event at the same time.
