Nazareth is the largest Arab city in Israel with a population of over 60,000. Since Jesus spent much of his childhood here, Nazareth is closely associated with Christianity and has attracted many pilgrims throughout the years. The standout site in Nazareth is the Basilica of the Annunciation which is the largest Christian church building in the Middle East.

Other Christian sites in Nazareth worth visiting include the Greek Orthodox Church of the Archangel Gabriel, the Greek Catholic “Synagogue Church” and the Church of St. Joseph.
