Acre in the north and Arabah in the south are 280 km apart. In the north, Acre, Mount Tabor, Haifa and Capernaum are all within 35 km of Nazareth.
Acre and Masada are among the four photos rated easy. The hard one is Arabah. Arabah has the largest scoring circle, 150 km, so a pin anywhere in the right area gets the full 5,000. Capernaum is the lakeside fishing village where Jesus lived and preached in the Gospels.
The daily in the app mixes photos from all 167 countries in the game, five a day, the same five for everyone.
