Daily Dig Schedule

To beat the heat, we start early and are finished digging by 12:30 pm.

Gone are the days of living in tents! We have the advantage of living at the Galilee Hotel in downtown Nazareth, an air conditioned hotel whose staff spoils us with Wi-Fi connections, heaps of delicious food, and their own travel agency, Mary’s Well Tours.

Mary’s Well Tours makes our travel arrangements, and can help you arrange travel anywhere in the country and to sites in Jordan.

We spend three Saturdays traveling to other archaeological sites and places of interest, including taking dips in the Sea of Galilee and the blue Mediterranean.

We usually have one free weekend, when many people travel on their own or with new friends.

There is also a final, optional three-day weekend in Jerusalem to visit museums, shop, experience the Old City, ride camels on the Mount of Olives, and take side trips to places like Bethlehem, Herodium, Qumran, Masada, and the Dead Sea.
