Founded in the honour of Roman emperor Tiberius around 20 CE, Tiberias swiftly grew as a hub for the Judeans post the desolation of Jerusalem, becoming a beacon for Jewish scholarship between the second and tenth centuries CE. Its rise as the capital of Jund al-Urdunn in the early Islamic period testified to its flourishing stature, even as it endured a period of decline due to a series of unfortunate natural disasters and foreign incursions.
The city witnessed a revival following the Zionist Aliyah in the late 19th century, transforming into a preponderantly Jewish city post the civil war in 1947-1948. Modern Tiberias is an amalgamation of culture, history, and commerce. Its close neighbour, Hammat Tiberias, renowned for its hot springs, further adds to the city's appeal as a tourist centre.
Tiberias is woven with Jewish history, housing many synagogues and tombs of revered rabbis including Yohanan ben Zakkai, Akiva, and Maimonides. Maimonides, the notable Jewish scholar, chose this city as his final resting place, further testament to its importance in Jewish history and culture. Tiberias' vibrant past, filled with periods of prosperity, conflict, and reconstructions, truly breathes life into its walls, making it an exciting destination for travellers worldwide.
When to visit Tiberias
Tiberias graces visitors with pleasant weather from February through December, making it a year-round destination. The warmest months are from June to September, perfect for those looking to enjoy a dip in the Sea of Galilee or meander through the city under the summer sun. The same months promise dry periods ideal for outdoor exploration.
While January, February, and December see the highest rainfall, they also provide an opportunity to witness the city in a different light, shrouded in the mystical beauty of rainfall. For those who prefer a quieter vacation, consider planning your visit during the low-tourist months from January to March, June, November, and December.
