Description

The Fauzi Azar Inn is a 200 year-old Arab mansion turned guest house that offers dorm and private rooms in a unique old world atmosphere. Touted by Lonely Planet 2007 as "one of the highlights of a stay in the Galilee" and a "great base for touring major sites of the Galilee," the Fauzi Azar offers a laid back atmosphere where guests and staff can meet to share stories and tips.

The Inn is located in the heart of the Souq (market) Quarter. Located just 1 minute
from the vegetable market, and just a few minutes from excellent restaurants and coffee shops, you are never far from your destination. The Basilica of the Annunciation is just 500 meters away through the narrow streets, and is a great decoration for our panoramic views.

The Inn was the mansion of the Azar family, once one of the richest and most powerful families of the Galilee. The Inn is a three-story stone building from the 18th century with a 6 meter high, hand painted ceiling, a Turkish marble floor, a magnificent hall with panoramic views; and a courtyard decorated with stone arches.

A night or more in this unique and exotic Inn will be an experience to remember and the highlight of your vacation.

Nazareth, the place of Annunciation, is an enchanting city. The narrow paved streets will engulf you with smells, colors and sounds from the churches' bells followed by the Muezzins, and above all the hospitality of the people of Nazareth will make your stay unforgettable.
