Learn more about hotels in Nazareth

Lauded as the largest city in Israel's Northern District, Nazareth's timeline stretches back to the prehistoric period. This city bears an imprint of diverse empires that once reigned, from the Roman and Byzantine periods to the Crusades, all leaving a unique stamp on its cultural and architectural landscape. Today, the city boasts a population of nearly 77,925 with the majority identifying as Arab citizens of Israel.

Revered by Christian believers as the childhood home of Jesus Christ, Nazareth has long been a focus for Christian pilgrimage. This is largely attributable to its significant churches, such as the Church of the Annunciation, one of Christianity's most sacred sites. Yet, bear in mind that the roots of the city's name, "Nazareth" in religious texts may not always refer to the traditional settlement known as Nazareth in Lower Galilee.

Through archaeological evidence, we note that Nazareth was more than just a Jewish village during Jesus' time. It saw continuous settlement and activity since the Bronze and Iron Ages — the remnants of this vibrant past can still be discovered in the city today. It wasn't until the 7th century, however, that Nazareth morphed into a symbol of Arab and Palestinian nationalism, celebrated today as the Arab capital of Israel.

When to visit Nazareth

When you're planning a trip to Nazareth, timing is a crucial factor to consider. For serene weather complementing your tours of Biblical sites and strolls through thriving local markets, January to March offer an optimal window for your visit. These months usually promise mild temperatures, perfect for outdoor exploration.

June to October marks Nazareth's warmest period, with temperatures soaring up to 92°F. These are months suitable for those who enjoy the heat and thrive in the summer buzz. However, do bear in mind that these months can get busy, so if you want to avoid the crowds, consider visiting in November. This month offers good weather conditions coupled with lower hotel prices.

Be prepared, however, for the Israeli winter if you're visiting in January or December, as these months witness the highest rainfall. But fear not, even the rain in Nazareth promises a charm of its own, adding an atmospheric note to your explorations. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Nazareth's captivating charm guarantees a memorable trip every time.
