I will be in Tiberias for 2 nights and would like to go to Nazareth. Any tours or public transportation?
When is the best time to travel to the Middle East?
You can get bus schedules at the Egged website:

Take bus route 835 to Afula, and transfer there to Nazareth. Total travel time about 2 hours.
Michael answered the Tiberias-to-Nazareth travel question. As for best time to go: It gets hot there in the summer--easily 115-degrees in Jericho and Masada. So, unless you like the heat, April-May and September are good times to go. Just be sure to avoid any religious holy days as places get very crowded then. Now that I think about it, since you're from West Palm Beach you may be used to heat like the Middle East gets.
I went the end of November and it was shirt sleeve weather. Loved Tiberias.
Thanks for the info.
