Wadi Hamam Landscapes

Wadi Hamam runs between Mount Arbel and Mount Nitai. It carried an important route through Lower Galilee. For example, the road from Cana of Galilee to Capernaum came this way and is probably the route Jesus took on His way to Capernaum after turning water into wine at the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee.
