Today Tiberias is a center for tourism, with a wide range of hotels and an abundance of restaurants to suit all tastes. Especially attractive are those on the lakeside promenade. Afterwards one can embark on a trip around the Lake aboard a ship styled after the large fishing vessels of antiquity. Also on the promenade, is the Galilee Experience, a sound-and-light show on the history of the Galilee. Near the northern end of the promenade are the ruins of the Crusader castle of Tiberias<\/a> that was besieged by Saladin prior to the Battle of Hittin, mentioned in the test on Sepphoris (Pages 48\/9).<\/p>\n
