An ancient city facing the lake

Founded almost two thousand years ago on the western shore of the lake, Tiberias is one of the four holy cities of Judaism, along with Jerusalem, Hebron and Safed. The tomb of Maimonides, the hot springs of Hamat Tiberias and the lively lakeside promenade give the city a strong identity, where history sits alongside everyday life.

For a French-speaking buyer, Tiberias offers what a village cannot: urban life on foot, shops, restaurants, synagogues and services, with the lake as the horizon.

What people buy in Tiberias

  • Apartments with lake views, from a two-room pied-à-terre to a large family apartment.
  • Penthouses with panoramic terraces, highly sought after and rare.
  • Houses on the city’s heights, for those who want a garden without leaving town.

Pied-à-terre, main residence or investment

Some buyers are looking for a pied-à-terre for holidays and festivals, with a longer-term plan to settle; others are considering a rental investment linked to regional tourism. In every case, examine the quality of the building, the service charges, the orientation and how easily the property could be resold.

Everyday life

Tiberias has all the infrastructure of a regional city: schools, shopping centres, markets and healthcare facilities. The Tzafon Medical Center (Poriya) is a few minutes away. Haifa is about an hour away, Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport a little under two hours depending on traffic.
