Opened in 1993, this lakeside cultural centre – one of Israel’s most beautiful buildings – is known for its art exhibitions, first-run cinema (two screens), cafe and truly spectacular sea views. In November 1994 it served as the venue for a ceremony reconfirming the peace treaty between Israel and Jordan. Situated at the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee, 300m east of Tzemah Junction.
King Hussein’s red-and-white keffiyeh and a sword given to Shimon Peres by Yasser Arafat can be seen in the Peace Room (free tours 10-11.30am Tue; call ahead), whose mirrors ensured that everyone, no matter where around the six-sided, eight-seat table they sat, could see the Sea of Galilee.
