How many days walk from Nazareth to Jerusalem?

Answer 1

The distance is about 105 km by road, about a 3 day walk.

Bare in mind, though, that the terrain is relatively rugged, so it may take one or two more days depending on the condition of the traveler.

Answer 2

There are a number of variables but it would require anywhere from two days to five days to make the journey by foot along the most direct route which lay though Samaria.

Best case scenario: A healthy young man traveling alone unencumbered by a heavy pack averaging 4 miles per hour journeying in the spring leaving at sunrise (5:30) and taking an hour rest at noon, stopping an half-hour before sunset to make camp (5:30), restarting at sunrise (5:30), taking a half-hour lunch break, would arrive in Jerusalem around 2:00 p.m. the second day.

Worse case scenario: A heavily laden person, or a group including a family with children or older adults (or a pregnant woman) averaging 2 miles per hour journeying in the spring leaving at sunrise (5:30) and taking a half-hour mid-morning break, a two hour lunch break, a half-hour afternoon break, and stopping an hour before sunset (5:00 p.m.) to make camp, would arrive in Jerusalem around 10:00 am on the fifth day.

If traveling in the rainy season (December - February) add additional time for muddy roads and shorter days with less daylight. Also add additional time for the longer route along the Jordan River or the Coastal route. If traveling in summer, longer days with more daylight is offset by more frequest rest stops due to heat.

Answer 3

It would take about 17-22 hours of straight walking with no breaks.

Answer 4

If memory serves, that distance is about 80 miles. A man leading a loaded donkey would make about 15 miles a day, so say roughly five days and the morning of a sixth day.

Answer 5

6 days
