Visit Mount Arbel and the area near the Sea of Galilee with two options you can choose from:
Option 1 (hard): Experienced hikers will walk down the 3km path from Mount Arbel to Wadi Hamam. This steep descent requires caution and is unsuitable for those who fear heights.
Option 2 (easy): An easy 2km loop trail at Mount Arbel park, followed by a visit to the historical site of Capernaum.
Both Groups will meet at Ein Nun for lunch, relax in the park, and dip in the spring.
A minimum of 50 participants is required for each option.
Who: This tour is open to full-time WSoS students & postdocs (international & Israeli), WIS international employees, WIS visiting scientists and their immediate family members, and WSoS visiting students. It is NOT for others (i.e. from the Vulcan Institute or Faculty of Agriculture).
