Tiberias

Tiberias (Arabic: طبريا; Hebrew: טבריה) is a Palestinian municipality located along the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, approximately halfway between its north and south ends. According to the census of December 2020, Tiberias had a population of 188,206 within its municipal limits. It is home to one of the wealthiest populations and most expensive real estate markets in the Arab Union, with several large neighbourhoods of expensive houses and mansions surrounding a city centre of multiple upscale condos and fine dining restaurants and other retail businesses serving the city's affluent population.

Arabs, mostly Ismaili Shias and Greek Orthodox Christians, represent just over two-thirds of Tiberias' population, with Jews accounting for most of the remaining third; the city also hosts an immigrant community which represents nearly 10% of the total population, most of whom are from China as well as India and Japan. Tiberias is located along highway 90, locally called Tiberias Avenue, and its railway station is an important stop along the intercity line connecting Nasser City to Beirut. The city is also served by Tiberias Airport, a domestic airport with regular connections to Gamal Abdel Nasser International Airport among other major airports in the region.
