The Galilee Area - Northern AttractionsThe Galilee is a region in northern Israel. Actually, it takes up most of the north. It is mostly mountains and hills, with a fairly large lake which you may know as the Sea of Galilee.Since there is a lot of rain and water in the area, the wildlife is thriving and birds can be seen crossing from colder regions to Africa. That is if you want to watch birds… Otherwise there are quite a few sites with biblical importance such as the Jordan River, Nazareth, Capernaum (kfar Nahum in Hebrew) and others. The history of the place stretches as far as king Solomon who actually gave the region as a gift to a guy named Hiram (what a cool gift!). And of course Jesus spent most of his life in this beautiful area. 
The place has a lot to offer, and you can probably spent a few days here easily. The main attractions are:
Rapids in Israel?!?! Oh Ya!!! 
This lady is checking out the goods in the Nazareth market during Christmas time. 
The Greek Orthodox church in Capernaum. 
El-Jazzar Pasha Mosque in Akko. By upyernoz. If you combine all the above and add to it breathtaking views, you will realize that you simply can’t afford to miss it. I hope I’m not over stressing the point, but I know that visiting the Galilee will probably rank very high on your list once you are back from your trip to Israel. So have a great time.
