Mary's Well, also known as "Bir Maryam" in Arabic, is a historical site located in the town of Nazareth in northern Israel. It is believed to be the site where the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, received the news of her impending pregnancy from the Angel Gabriel. The well has been an important pilgrimage site for Christians for centuries and is considered sacred in Christian tradition.

most special place in Nazareth... from this Well (when there used to be water flowing in it) Holy Mary, The Mother of God, used to drink water from it but Unfortunately the Israeli Government and the Nazarene Municipality don’t care much about Christian sights at all so it's pretty neglected place and it hurts you so much to see people Peeing on it and throwing garbage into it... instead of Investing in it and make it the most beautiful Square in the Holy...

המקום הזה בערבית נקרא  عين العذراء( עין אלעדרא)  מעיין הבתולה או מעיין מרים או באר מרים  .הוא רהט/סביל הנמצא במתחם המעיין בעיר נצרת . ובדיוק נמצא במבנה שאתם רואים בתמונה למעלה , נחשב לאחד המקומות ההיסטוריים לא רק בנצרת אלה במזרח התיכון . המעיין  הזה חשוב למוסלמים ולנוצרים על-פי המסורת נהגה מרים הקדושה, אמו של ישוע, לרדת ולשאוב מים באזור זה. בנוסף, היה המעין בעבר מקור המים היחיד של העיר ובו נאספו תושבי העיר ועוברי אורח על מנת לשאוב מים. הכיכר והרהט שופצו (במקרה הזה אבא שלי היה אחד האנשים שעבדו באתר ועד שלב בניית מבנה המעיין ) והרבה מטבעות ותכשיטים אשר שוחזרו לקראת שנת 2,000. בחפירות שנערכו במקום נמצאו שרידים של תעלות ובריכות מים מתקופות שונות והם מוצגים באולם הישיבות בעיריית נצרת. הצורה הנוכחית של הרהט זהה לזאת שמוצאים בתמונות שצילמו הצליינים במאה ה-19. והיום, נפתחו קרוב למתחם מסעדות  ברמת איכות מאד גבוהה שניתן לבלות ולשבת בשקט יחסי( כי גם קרוב לכביש ראשי) שורה תחתונה...מומלץ לבוא לבקר בכל ימי השבוע יום ראשון חנויות סגורים יום שבת   עמוס  באנשים  פקקים .מלא אנשים באים לבקר. מתי שתבואו..ברוכים הבאים לעיר הקסומה והאהובה...

I nearly passed it several times. A beautifully crafted well. I didn't see anyone or any information about it at the site, so I had to google it. Lots of restaurants nearby, so you can have lunch right before or after seeing it. I think maybe you'll spend about 5 to 10 minutes then be able to move onward. Lots of food and parks nearby.

This well is at the top of quite a big hill, so be prepared for the walk. It's underwhelming and near to bars and restaurants. Nevertheless it's a nice enough looking well and isn't a large attraction in Nazareth. I'd recommend visiting this if you're travelling to the Russian Orthodox church, which is about a minutes walk away.

It was cool to see this location, however it was a little disappointing. The location it is in is kind of dirty and the well is not kept up. It was pretty disappointing to see the place so dirty. We didn’t stay here for more than 5 minutes because there wasn’t much to see and we didn’t love the area it is in.
