Description

The Fauzi Azar Inn is the winner of the prestigious "Virgin Holidays Responsible Tourism 2011 Award" in the category of Best Accommodation for Local Communities! And is a model for community based tourism not only in Israel but through out the world. Located in the old city of Nazareth, the Fauzi Azar Inn is a 200 year-old Arab mansion offering dorms and private rooms in a unique and charming old world atmosphere. Mentioned in the Lonely Planet guide in 2010 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 Inn offers large public areas where guests can socialise and exchange stories. The Fauzi Azar Inn is located in the heart of the souk area, just one minute from the vegetable market and a few minutes from excellent restaurants and coffee shops. The Basilica of the Annunciation is 500 meters away. The Inn is a 3-storey 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. The rooms and dorms are bright, clean and cosy. Wireless internet is available free of charge.
