NAZARETH, ISRAEL – (ANS) - Nazareth
will always be the Galilean city famously known as the residence of the world’s
most celebrated figure, Jesus Christ, but over the last five years the city has
developed an enviable reputation as a culinary hotspot.
Local
residents have been instrumental in redeveloping this Galilean capital, home to
Christians and Moslems and Israel’s Ministry of Tourism has also allocated some
funding in this hilltop city.
The result – a wonderful
culinary scene for all appetites. The city boasts wonderful spice shops, sweet
stores, cafes and a medley of restaurants offering interesting Arabic fusion
foods along with other delicacies.
A recent Travelujah article
entitled “Nazareth
is Worth a Day or Two for All Tourists” focused on many of the
interesting on and off the beaten path sites in Nazareth and the surrounding
area. Now, the New York Times has offered up a culinary expedition for those
interested in the city’s burgeoning food scene.
With
everything from wonderful restaurants, bars, cafes and bakeries and on the spot
culinary courses (in Arabic and English too!) being offered to residents and
non-residents – the city is poised to add Holy Land’s culinary capital to its
status as Jesus’s hometown.
