Jericho
Jericho is believed to be one of, if not the oldest cities in the world.It was also the first city captured by the Israelites upon entering the land of Canaan following their 40 years of wandering in the desert after the exodus from Egypt.

Jordan River
The Jordan River runs through the land and history of the Bible, giving its waters a spiritual significance that sets it aside from other rivers. The Jordan is significant for Jews because the tribes of Israel under Joshua crossed the river on dry ground to enter the Promised Land after years of wandering in the desert. It is significant for Christians because John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the waters of the Jordan. The prophets Elijah and Elisha also crossed the river dry-shod; and the Syrian general Naaman was healed of leprosy after washing in the Jordan at Elisha’s direction.

Korazim
Ruins of Korazim (Chorazin), a Roman/Byzantine town, is located above the north side of Sea of Galilee, and is referred in the New Testament as one of the cities condemned by Jesus. The buildings are made of black basalt stones, and a grand 4th century AD synagogue was restored in the central quarter. (See http://www.biblewalks.com/Sites/Korazim.html)
