Walking the Jesus Trail

For millions of modern travelers, walking in the footsteps of Jesus has meant taking a few steps from a tour bus to the Church of the Annunciation or to the banks of the Jordan River.

But thanks to a collaborative effort of local Christians, Muslims, and Jews—headed by the dynamic Maoz Inon and Suraida Nassar—that method of touring is changing. The group has mapped a careful, 65km (40-mile) itinerary (mainly downhill from Nazareth) of the routes Jesus would have taken as he crisscrossed the Galilee on foot from Nazareth to Zippori, Kana, and down to the Sea of Galilee. Along the way, visitors pass olive groves, ancient springs, historic sites and ruins. Yes, modern towns and their outskirts are also passed (there’s no way to avoid them), but they don’t account for the majority of the trail.

The route can be hiked by independent walkers or done with organized tours. Included are places to camp, overnight lodgings, and places to eat and buy supplies. Participants can as much or as little of the trail as they like. An optional return route to Nazareth includes the ethereal Mount Tabor.
