People began to create a new spirit in the city. Owners of two boutique hotels on the square have renovated old mansions two hundred years old each. A characteristic feature of these mansions is high arched windows. The name of the square is the inspiration for the title of each of the hotels. However, each does it in its way. For example, El Bisar translated from Arabic means bishop, and El Mitrani means a priest. Both are on the square that was called the square of the priest, also during the renewal period. Thus, the renewal of the city was more a social phenomenon than a historical one.
We decided to go to Nazareth for Christmas. But very quickly, we realized that it is possible and necessary to come to Nazareth without any particular reason. It is a very self-sufficient, authentic, traditional, and modern city with a good spirit, smiling people, and delicious food. We took a walk from Maria’s well through the streets of the old town to the colorful bazaar, the white mosque, the synagogue church, the Church of the Annunciation and the Church of the House of Joseph, the Museum of cave-dwelled Nazareth, Fahome Coffee Shop, Alreda Restaurant, and Tishreen Restaurant. It was a wonderful trip!
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
