The River Jordan where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist

Ruins from the city of Capernaum, where Peter was from and where much of Jesus' teachings took place

 
From the synagogue at Capernaum, place of the "Bread of Life" sermon

The hill where the possessed swine ran into the Sea of Galilee

Mat at Qumron, the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found (L) and salt mountains at the Dead Sea Works (R)

 
Enjoying the therapeutic mud and waters of the Dead Sea.  You float so easily that you can stand up straight
