  • Yardenit is the place where many Christian pilgirms come to be re-baptized, you can see a group undergoing the ritual in the picture. The true tourist trap here is the gift shop, we checked out some of the prices for locally made things, such as ceramic plates and the prices were not twice as much, but THREE times what we paid for them in the SHOUK (market) in Nazareth..

    At Least Do This: Utilize the facilities for the rituals, but avoid the gift shop.
    Alternative: If you are on a pilgrimage to Israel, you will most likely visit Nazareth as well as Yardenit, so do your shopping there, or in Tel-Aviv or Jerusalem.

     Hello Martin, it's many years since I lived in Tiveria - I spent 4 and a half years in the town from 1978 - 1982. The town was small and friendly then and we all knew one another. Now of course it must have changed beyond comparison.
