The Sea of Galilee in Israel - as well as the churches, holy sites, and ancient mosaics surrounding it - serve as a historical and cultural focal point attracting many. Very recently, the Nevel David Galilee Resort was inaugurated nearby - a unique and inspiring complex that springs from the earth and resembles in its shape King David's harp.
