Entertainment in Galilee

  1. A

    Diwan El Lajun Theatre

    If you are interested in seeing co-existence in action, stop by Diwan El Lajun Theatre, a multicultural arts centre run by Gassan Abbass, a well-known actor and director. There are regular music and theatre performances as well as story telling workshops for both adults and children from mixed backgrounds. The theatre is always buzzing, thanks to a women's training program teaching puppet making and traditional Palestinian embroidery.

    There's also a small café where performer Hanita-Carolin Hendelman will happily discuss upcoming events.

    Galilee Experience

    Jesus, Napolean and the Israeli General Moshe Dayan are all stars of the Galilee Experience, an hourly film in 12 languages, which recounts the historical, political and geographical story of the Galilee. The 'state-of-the-art slide show' is more high school projector job than Hollywood cineplex but it gets a constant stream of visitors to the marina complex which also includes an internet café (₪10 for 30 minutes) and a souvenir shop.

    Papaya

    More Thai Island than Tiberias, this slick little beach bar reckons it has the best cocktails in town. Weekly theme nights such as karaoke and salsa get the tiny dance floor shaking, but the best time of day is dusk when you can actually catch not only the bartender's attention, but the great sunset views over the lake.

    Big Ben

    Whatever the season, this old-timer continues to attract tourists and locals with its easy-going sports-bar feel. A mix of young and old enjoy cold beers and greasy bar snacks, international football highlights on the big screen, and late night action under the trees.
