Israel's 8 places sit on a north-south line 280 km long, Acre to Arabah. Five places share a 35 km patch in the north: Acre, Mount Tabor, Haifa, Nazareth and Capernaum.
An easy country by the ratings: four of 8, starting with Acre and Masada. The hard one is Arabah. You get 150 km of grace on Arabah, more than on anything else in Israel. Capernaum is the lakeside fishing village where Jesus lived and preached in the Gospels.
Israel is one country. The daily draws from all 167.
