Oh Galilee! As a Christian, it is a wonder how all the steps of Jesus' early life are less than 2 hours' drive in this region. Back in 2018, I visited Nazareth, Cana, Mount Tabor, Zippori, Tiberias, Magdala, and the Mount of Beatitudes on a small-group private tour. Indeed, they are all holy sites, and it feels greatly spiritual to walk in Jesus' footsteps and be in the sites of great miracles and mysteries. However, I can't say that this is a site worth inscribing on the list. All the significance lies in religious intangible aspects, as in Nazareth, Cana, Mount Tabor, and the Mount of Beatitudes, where only modern churches stand, although Nazareth does have a few Roman-age remains including the alleged house of Mary on the lower level of the church. Tiberias is now a modern city with not much to see related to Jesus. That leaves Zippori and Magdala.

Zippori is a normal ruined Roman city, and the preservation and restoration of structures is generally poorer than in Bet Shean. However, Zippori's mosaics are extremely intricate and well-preserved. A walk through the synagogue in the lower section of the city reveals colorful floor mosaics of a various people and creatures in a rich agricultural landscape. Walking up the hill, one would come to the poorly-preserved Roman theatre, the iconic Crusader-Ottoman fortress with a sarcophagus used as a block, and the highlight of them all, the Roman villa with the best preserved Roman mosaics of Israel, including the "Mona Lisa of the Galilee".

Magdala is a much smaller site than Zippori. It covers a small ground of mostly foundations in black basalt, much like in Capernaum. The synagogue lacks significant structure, but houses some mosaics and the Magdala Stone, the earliest image of a menorah. A modern church is also on the site, but unlike Capernaum, it thankfully does not lie over the bulk of the ruins. Tours are run on site with a religious context, ending with reflection time in the church.

Overall, there just isn't enough remains significant to Jesus for any of the sites to merit inscription. The only site that contains any OUV would probably be Zippori for its exquisite mosaics, but either way, this tentative site doesn't have high hopes in my eyes
