🕊️ The fabled Sea of Galilee is where Christians believe Jesus walked on water, calmed the storm, and made Peter and Andrew into “fishers of men.” It's where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. And it's where Jesus fed the masses with a few loaves and fish and gave his Sermon on the Mount.

The Sea of Galilee (Hebrew: יָם כִּנֶּרֶת, Judeo-Aramaic: יַמּא דטבריא, גִּנֵּיסַר, Arabic: بحيرة طبريا), also called Lake Tiberias, Kinneret or Kinnereth,[3] is a freshwater lake in Israel. It is the lowest freshwater lake on Earth and the second-lowest lake in the world (after the Dead Sea, a saltwater lake),[4] at levels between 215 metres (705 ft) and 209 metres (686 ft) below sea level.[5] It is approximately 53 km (33 mi) in circumference, about 21 km (13 mi) long, and 13 km (8.1 mi) wide. Its area is 166.7 km2 (64.4 sq mi) at its fullest, and its maximum depth is approximately 43 metres (141 ft).[6] The lake is fed partly by underground springs but its main source is the Jordan River, which flows through it from north to south and exits the lake at the Degania Dam.

However there are some issues with the guides and the marketing strategy there. They try to embarrass the person to buy stuff from there or to give the guides money for services that he/she didn't ask for.

What an amazing place! We came and had no tour guide, but found one on site. He was amazing, see our pictures. You will not regret coming here. Note the ball back is an extremely dangerous place. However, we made it through OK. We did not go to the souvenir shops which seems sketchy. These are rebuilt! Like a puzzle!

Amazing Roman relic in the Baalbek Temple Complex. It is one of the most well preserved Roman ruins in the world, and one of the grandest. Walking in the Temple of Bacchus makes you feel tiny. I recommend seeing all three temples at Baalbek: the Temple of Jupiter, Bacchus and the Temple of Venus.

Absolutely a must go! Nowhere on earth you will see almost no people on site of a Roman ruins and you can touch everything!
On the way you will be 20 min away from Damaskus and maybe see a tank!

Chateau Ksara is the oldest and most renowned winery in Lebanon, located in Zahle. Visitors can partake in a free guided tour of the 2 km underground cave full of barrels, which takes approximately 30 minutes. The staff are friendly and provide detailed explanations about the institution. Guests can also indulge in wine tastings of their dry white wines while enjoying dining at Arabi along Berdawni River.
An exceptional tour and well worth five dollars for tasting, tour, history! Professional, kind, highly experienced staff. Beautiful premises and caves and grapes on site, and built in the late 1800s and the Jesuit priests ended up selling it to Lebanese, for Lebanese families because they were too productive and needed to focus more on their mission of religion and serving God. Note, we had the second from the lowest tour, as noted in my pictures with the price, and you will see how much it cost. It was an exceptional tour. We received about a half dozen tastings of wine which was perfect.

We can take part in their free guide tour inside with no appoints.
It takes roughly 30 minutes with walking inside winery.

With walking, a guide staff explain this institution in detail. Staffs is very kindly.
They make white wines. That's taste is almost dry.

The place and Caves were amazing, definitely a must place to visit when visiting Beirut. We really loved the wines we tried here, they are very unique, lots of spices from the region.

We had an extended wine tasting tour that brought us delightful surprises. The tour covered the external grounds, the grapes, and the impressive caves. Our guide, Maya, was not only kind and passionate about Ksara but also highly professional. She offered comprehensive explanations about the winery, its history, and the process of producing arak and wine.
The wine tasting experience itself was exceptional. All wines were delicious and our personal favorites were the Chardonnay and the Ksara 2013. Undoubtedly, this visit stands out as one of the most beautiful experiences we've had. We highly recommend visiting Ksara for a wine tasting tour and indulging in a glass of wine in their charming and picturesque garden.

The winery visit was totally worth the ride to reach there.
The tour we booked was very informative and it was only for our group (group of 4).
The tour guide has good information about what he was talking about.
The tour in the caves was enchanting, any winery tour without the cave tours is really not worth it.
Don’t miss the chance to look at the pictures and learn about the history of the place and the old equipment used and put on display.
Highly recommended.

Incredible experience.
You can have the normal experience or the Premium experience.
I would highly suggest to try the Premium experience!! (15$ per person instead of 6$ per person (for Lebanese people))
You will not only get to visit the wine cave, but you will be able to visit where they work on the Arak, go around the whole Chateau on a Golf Cart, and visit part of the factory, and then get a premium tasting experience with their premium bottles!!
Very worth it.
My favorite two wines are Moscatel (wine for when you’re eating desserts) and Merwah (white wine)
The tour guide was very nice and explained everything in detail and perfectly!

An interesting place where we booked the tour one day in August. The place is clean, neat with helpful and polite staffs. Unfortunately, there was no mention or visit to the wine making process or to the Winery. The visit just involved how they store wine in barrels in the cave and thereafter wine tasting on the first floor!
Not even visit to the vineyard outside.
Very disappointing indeed.
One would expect a visit should include wine making process and visit to the vineyard at least!

CAYES DE KSARA is a must-visit for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable wine experience in Lebanon. The stunning setting, the historical caves, and the exceptional wines will leave you mesmerized.

The service is ok. But the tour is too expensive for what it is, I expected a lot more.
The wine is good but we already knew that because we drink it often.
The restaurant is over rated, the food is mediocre and too expensive. The wine in the restaurant is double the price of the wine in their shop... so buy the wine in the shop and go drink it with your meal it'll be a smart move.
The Umayyad Mosque in Damascus is a significant cultural and historical site. It features an impressive prayer hall, intricate ancient mosaics, and a shrine dedicated to John the Baptist. The mosque is also known for being a royal burial site. Visitors can appreciate its architectural beauty and religious significance. Women planning to visit should bring their own Abaya to wear before entering the mosque's prayer area. This iconic destination should be on any traveler's must-visit list when exploring Damascus' historic sites.
Too visit The Umayyad Mosque was in my wish list for very long time felt great the memories to remember rest of my life experience.

This is such a different, beautiful mosque with a long history - a mix of Persian and Ottoman detailing, so quite different from the blue ceramic tiling you see in other mosques. The courtyard and minaret are breathtaking. The inside is very spacious as well and can accommodate lots of visitors and prayers. Females are given brown cloaks to wear.
Nimrod Fortress National Park is a significant tourist attraction with remnants of a 13th-century castle on a lush hill offering breathtaking panoramic views. This colossal fortification, built by Muslims in the Crusader era for safeguarding the road from Tyre to Damascus, sprawls over 420m long and up to 150m wide atop an isolated mountain ridge reaching an altitude of 815m.
A very beautiful historical place, the views around the site are breathtaking, and it is relatively very poorly preserved. The place itself is well maintained and has many secret corners to explore and discover. If you arrive on a sunny day, take a bottle of water with you

One of the largest Fortifications Built-in Israel. It protected the road to Damascus . It was built by Muslims. It is a big place so make sure to plan for plenty of time if you want to see it all . Great views of mt hermon in the background. Wear shoes for hiking as its lots for steps .

What. A. Place! Can't believe I'm 40 and never been here before until now!
What a beautiful place, surrounded by breathtaking views of the Golan and Hermon mountains and panoramic landscape.
The story of the place is very interesting and you can join a free guided tour (we were on a Saturday, 11am and the 14 pm).
The tour does the short trail and after it's finished you can go to the top of the fortress on your own (there are some stairs) and enjoy the views and nice cool breeze.
When you get down from there, you might find a different path with a sign that's says this way is for experienced hikers only. Note that this path leads back to the main gate at the bottom of the reserve, and NOT back to the parking lot.
At the parking lot there are toilets, a food truck and a place to sit in the shade.
Bottom line: a MUST VISIT if you're in the area!
Enjoy 🤟

Not my first time there but always a truly enjoyable experience.
The view is stunning, the fortress is inspiring, the place is very well maintained, and there is enough to see and visit for a few hours.
It is not a site for a quick tour of 20 or 30 minutes.
It is like a good book with twists and an elaborate plot which makes wanting more of it.
I definitely rate it as one of the top attractions in the North.
Try not to miss it.

Today's first visit was to the largest medieval castle left in Israel. This was the Nimrod Fortress, actually built in the 13th century as a response to the crusades but never really tested as by then the crusaders had fallen to petty infighting and were steadily being mopped up by the Muslims.
The 90 minute drive was interesting as we got into the hills, very windy roads with the usual moronic drivers overtaking on blind bends etc but now combined with potholes and crumbling road edges. The fortress was at about 1000m so it was noticeably colder than Tiberias when I stopped to take some pictures of it on our approach, Deb even had to wear my coat until we got out of the breeze!
When we got to the castle it was just us and one other car so we pretty much had the place to ourselves the whole visit. It was incredibly well laid out for visitors with a clearly marked route and lots of information boards. The weather was superb with beautiful blue sky and we soon warmed up with the walking and climbing! The fortress is still being excavated but we were able to see a lot including inner vaulted chambers that hadn’t collapsed, lots of inscriptions, a very dodgy looking reservoir and fabulous views.
To the NW across the valley was the crusader fortress of Beaufort and you could see how the Nimrod Fortress dominated Mount Hermon and the Hula valley as well as the Tyre – Damascus road. We followed the route along the less well defended (due to the terrain) northern side, saw the prison tower and then returned to the car park to find some food as there was no cafe on site.

Israel's third largest winery offers vineyard tours, a visitor center, tasting room & gift shop.
It doesn't happen on purpose, but 3 out of 5 bottles of wine that my wife and I order when we go somewhere are of this type of wine. And most often is Gamla. Well, at last we were able to visit the source of the wine we loved so much.
There are small excursions here, but we didn’t get there at the right time, so we took another entertainment: a very sociable pretty girl in English told us about several of the wines we chose that they make here and let us try each one. It was a wonderful experience...both the wine and the conversation. We decided to buy 3 different bottles at once for ourselves and 1 for my mother as a present.
Be sure to visit this place, with a tour or not - it's definitely worth it. This is magical wine.

Impressive winery, one of the biggest in Israel. The tour is basic and built for large groups, but the tasting experience is nice and the best is to take the package with the cheese plate. It’s actually recommended to those who are stating to love wine, they just launched a sweet Muskato wine in which the fermentation was stopped in the middle, leaving it with low alcohol percentage and a sweeter taste.
Near by there is a nice river side used as a source for Eden water, called Maayanot Eden, there are fresh water flowing and shadows in between the tree, a great place to relax after the visit.

It's almost certain that Jesus taught in the 1st century synagogue that's been excavated here. The new chapel on site is wonderful, with an atrium dedicated to women, beautiful mosaics, and a great painting in the lower room of the woman receiving healing by touching Jesus' cloak.

The # 1 most inspiring place in the Holy Land to me. This is the synagogue that Mary Magdalene met Jesus of Nazareth (most likely, almost for certain). It was covered with mud from about 100 A.D. to 2009 A.D. Jesus taught here. Jesus walked on these tiles. If you search for “magdalen synagogue discovered” you can read all about it.

Second time I visited! This time, the mosaics, the painting of the woman touching the fringe of Jesus’ garment, the sculptures and the view from the chapel over the Sea of Galilee really hit home! I will be back for sure!

Father Eamon Kelly is fantastic! He spent time with our whole group, gave answers to difficult questions and brought insight to the scriptures.
Seeing the synagogue where Jesus would have taught and the roads he would have walked on brings light to the whole story. The facilities and building look incredible and have layer after layer of detail.

Tiberias is a city situated on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. The Old City contains significant Jewish and Christian pilgrimage sites, such as Abulafia Synagogue and Tomb of Maimonides. Along the waterfront, visitors can find a marina, fish market, and Yigal Allon Promenade lined with restaurants. Hamat Tiberias National Park is located south of the city and boasts mineral hot springs dating back to ancient times.
Acre is a coastal city located in the northwest region of Israel, renowned for its well-preserved historic walls. The Treasures in the Walls Ethnographic Museum showcases daily life from Ottoman times to the 20th century through a tunnel in these walls.

I didn’t enter the museum, making do with a beautiful walk in the winter sunshine around the citadel walls. They are wonderful, informative wall, texts, charting the story of Napoleon’s siege of this Ottoman stronghold.
David Cohen — Google review
We stayed in Acre overnight, primarily to visit the Citadel. We arrived just before 9 and went straight in. There is a nice route laid out with plenty of information boards and exhibits. There is lots of information about the Military Orders, the Crusades, life at that period as well as an area that is family friendly with interactive displays and I think some dressing up areas.
The place is obviously pretty large and it took a couple of hours to see everything and by then it was crowded with lots of coach parties so if you want to see it in peace, arrive at opening time.
I'd recommend combing this with a trip to the nearby tunnels (very quick - 15 minutes there and back) and also the sea walls to look at the Ottoman walls and remains of the Crusader fortifications.

Not my first time and still worth the time.
The walk on the citadel at sunset is priceless, the view on the sea, the wind, the city, everything is just perfect.
I warmly recommend the experience.

Buy your combo tickets here for the citadel, museums, bathhouse and Templar’s Tunnel. It was well worth the 49 sheckal price for all of them.
The citadel itself was a really well done and well preserved structure. There was an excellent entertaining audio guide and I especially enjoyed the bathhouse videos.
We also paid the extra for the Leonardo de Vinci exhibit and enjoyed that.

Very interesting Museum of the crusaders. Easy and informative with the audio guide. It was perfect for us because it was so hot outside today and the museum is under the earth, nice with a good temperature. Price was 49 Schekel per person including an audio guide and it was for the other attractions too, the bath House s as bad the tunnel etc.
The Centre International Marie de Nazareth is a diverse cultural complex located near the Basilica of the Annunciation that focuses on fostering relationships and dialogue among Christians and other religions. This Roman Catholic-run venue offers an archaeological site, gardens with Biblical flora, and a cafe with stunning 360-degree views of Nazareth. Visitors can explore in situ ruins dating back to the First Temple period in the basement while enjoying panoramic vistas from the rooftop garden.
Go here! Visiting the center will add to your experience of Nazareth. The best part: the very friendly and smart receptionist guy who will tell you about the ruins and architecture of ancient Nazareth. The 4 videos about the story of Mary and Jesus are interesting if you don't yet know the story. Otherwise you will not learn anything new. The view from the roof terrace is very nice. A good quiet spot to enjoy the sun for a few moments. Entrance fee is donation based.

This is a wonderful, wonderful place to visit in Nazareth. A short walk from the Roman Catholic basilica of the Annuciation of Mary it has wonderful people and a beautiful movie experience that takes you through the life of Jesus and Mary in Nazareth. This center also sits on top of ruins of what a typical house may have looked like back in Jesus' day. You will not regret stopping in to say hi and learning even more about Jesus and Mary.

The Church of Annunciation is a modernist, Franciscan-run Roman Catholic basilica built in 1969 on the site where many believe the Annunciation took place. It dominates the Old City skyline with its lantern-topped cupola and stands on what many Christians believe to be Mary's home. Visitors can walk inside for free and attend mass by checking schedules within the facilities, making it an ideal destination for those interested in Jesus, Mary, and Joseph history.
Beautiful, amazing, spiritual and peaceful place! As a Catholic being able to visit the place where The annunciation happened to the Virgin Mary was a simply wonderful and religious experience. The church is beautiful, on the exterior you can see images of the Virgin Mary for all different countries, worth to enjoy each one of them.

One of the most famous and touristic place in Nazareth.
An entrance is free but be careful and wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees at least.
You can find a gallery with frescoes from different countries. Also basilica is open for visiting.
Unfortunately the Museum on the territory was closed.
Good for visit.

In my opinion, one of the most impressive and amazing churches in the world. The visit to the Church of the Annunciation is powerful and interesting, the structure is amazing. The church was established at the site where, according to one tradition, the Annunciation took place. The church has a variety of works of art in different styles from all over the world.

One can light up an electric candle 🕯in this church - I really liked this idea as I believe that it is more friendly to the environment.
Another thing that I liked is an alley with the paintings and mosaics to the church from all over the world 🌎 One can find donations from the South America, India, and my homeland Ukraine 🇺🇦 It feels really good to find things related to your country when you are that far from it, especially when your country is under attack from the terrorist russian state.
If you plan your visit in advance, I also recommend to bring coins and cash for the donations to support the church.

Beautiful place in the center of Nazareth, open untill 5pm and free to visit. Inside you can see very colorful windows and many latin inscriptions.

Basilica of the Annunciation Nazareth, also known as The Catholic Church of the Annunciation, is the most impressive and spectacular site in the city and is considered to be one of the most holy churches for Christianity.
Basilica of the Annunciation an outstanding building in the center of town, is built where it’s believed the house the Virgin Mary was.
On the lower level is the most holy place – Mary’s cave, the cave in which, according to the Catholic-Christian tradition, Mary was visited by Archangel Gabriel and told her she is destined to carry Jesus in her womb.

The city around it seems a bit chaotic and dirty, but don't let that discourage you from visiting the basilica itself.
The basilica is rather modern, built in the 60s, with beautiful mosaics and paintings of the Virgin Mary decorating the church's walls. It's a stunning sight to behold, and I was impressed by the attention to detail in the artwork.
But the most interesting thing about the basilica is on the lower floor. Here, there is a preserved cave where Angel Gabriel supposedly told Mary she was going to be pregnant with Jesus. It's one of the few places that keeps the original ruins of the first century, and that's well worth a visit.

There was a mix from different Cristian churches, orthodox, catholic etc and some of them was really strange. The way it was built is also strange. Although the building from outside is not ugly. I hope this is not the best church in Nazareth but our guide show to us only this.

The church was built at where angel Gabriel announced to Virgin Mary that she would be pregnant and give birth to baby Jesus. And the town of Nazareth is where Jesus grew up. Beautiful church. 30% of Nazareth population is Christian.
Mount Carmel National Park is a vast natural reserve featuring undulating evergreen forests and multiple hiking trails. The park also offers numerous picnic areas where visitors can relax and enjoy the picturesque landscape. It is an excellent destination for walking or resting, and local vendors are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The park is well-maintained with minimal trash, making it a perfect spot for camping or BBQing with friends and family. Additionally, public restrooms are available throughout the compound for visitors' convenience.
The Carmel National Park is a large area right outside of Haifa with many hiking trails, natural springs, archaeological sites, and amazing areas where you can easily see wildlife. Much of the Carmel is defined as a national park and historically there has been little settlement on the mountain. Lots of hiking trails through the woods. Beautiful hike down the Carmel mountains. A medium to hard trail with ups and downs. Local vendors were very friendly and knowledgeable. The so called Little Switzerland is amazing in spring: full of wild flowers and therefore full of colors and smells and after some rain, even a small water stream with creeks. And many paths to follow...

Fabulous views of northern Israel from the rooftop. The statute of Elijah was nice, but much smaller than I expected. The pictures I saw made me think it was 20 feet tall. Its probably closer to 4 or 5ft. The area surrounding the statute has a pretty little garden with places to sit and spend time relaxing.
It was a group bus tour and unfortunately we ran out of time and could not go in the church.

National park encompassing the substantial & well-preserved ruins of an ancient Roman city.
Spectacular place to visit. Spent a good afternoon exploring in the heat and the shade. It was exciting to see the excavation. I visited the bathhouse and public latrines area. The main street was exciting as well. I didn't climb the hill and focused my time in the town.

We visited two weeks ago. We had national park pass, so it was free. Mostly the place includes remains of the ancient ruins. Amazing architecture. Wondered how they designed the bathroom with hot steam underneath the floor. The structures were similar to caesarea national park. Don't miss the entire view from hill top. Amazing and beautiful during sunset. Need atleast two hours to cover the entire area (on foot). Closing time is 4.30 pm. It has a souvenir shop.

Nice spot to see some ancient history! It was great to be able to see what a city would have looked like. If you do stop in be sure to check out the Egyptian ruins at the top of the hill overlooking the entire city. Lots of remains of ancient ruins like the colosseum, public sanitary, the theater, the city etc, etc. The architecture is amazing and what’s left of the buildings tell an amazing story about its greatness. Extremely good Roman archeological site….for its shape and all well preserved ruins (many mosaics, good theater,….) it is absolutely at the level of Rome forums

Stunning remains of over 20 layers of civilization. Most notable are the recent Roman ruins. One can picture chariots heading up and down the main street.
The 7000 seat theater is mostly standing and the original public bathrooms are nearby, what a gas!
There is an entrance plaza, a large bathhouse, streets, shops, a bridge, a ritual compound and more.
An earthquake in 749 shook the Roman temple and the huge columns fell. They still lay there and it's hard to imagine that this is all real and not replicas.
Amazing experience.

We attended the evening sound and light tour which includes a ten minute sound and light and an hour guide led tour of many of the sites. The park is well lit in most parts.
The sound and light was ok, projected onto the walls of the theatre sometimes the graphics were not the most clear.
The tour is a bit intensive and at some point we left to just enjoy the spectacle without the guide.
There were many children in attendance but I think their attention wanted as the tour progressed
Small children might be frightened by loud music and sounds during the light show.

The Arch of Hadrian is a well-preserved, triple-bayed Roman arch built in 129 CE to honor Emperor Hadrian. It serves as the southern gateway to the Jerash archaeological site and is one of many monuments attributed to Hadrian in the Mediterranean. The site includes highlights such as a giant hippodrome, Southern Theatre, and Forum with 100 stone columns. Vendors sell postcards near the arch and there is also a nearby tour guide station.
Incredible entrance to and incredible site. This is just the beginning and it gets bigger and better as you go along. Great way to enter into an amazing historical site that keeps going on and on. Great spot for pictures. I highly recommend it.

Come super early to avoid the crowds. It was interesting but too many beggars, sorry I mean people selling low quality stuff and people asking for tips after telling you to take a panoramic picture.

The entire complex is great!! Coming in the arch of Adrien is nice but has nothing exceptional but the succession of monuments, the surface of the entire site really gives a sense of how great of a builder our ancestors were! The site has little shade, you can buy water on site so you don’t need to take too much water but the deeper you get on the site, the more expansive the water gets (up to 1.5 Jordan dollars for a small bottle). This is nonetheless worth it as you’ll see great ancient cities buildings you didn’t expect to find in Jordan! Plan for 3/4 hours on site as you go from one discovery to another. The kids had a lot of fun going through the ruins as in Jordan they benefit from a lot of freedom in what they can experiment!!!!

Can see this using the Jordan pass. You walk through the entrance and get a little bit of hassle from people trying to sell you souvenirs etc but you can run the gauntlet and get past them easily enough. The arch is pretty big and spectacular to look at. You can see if from the road outside but to see it up close and walk under it is an experience.

An absolutely gorgeous step into history. It was hot but doable. The area is much larger than meets the eye and you can feel the Roman history in the area. There are so many pictures that should be taken here. This was one of my favorite stops in Jordan. The only con is the number of people trying to sell you things mostly towards the front.

I had the pleasure of visiting Ajloun Castle in 2014 and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The castle's rich history and stunning architecture make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and travelers alike.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by the majestic presence of the castle, perched atop a hill, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The well-preserved structure and its intricate details were truly awe-inspiring.
Exploring the castle's interior was like stepping back in time. The knowledgeable guides provided fascinating insights into the castle's history, sharing captivating stories and anecdotes that brought the site to life. The well-maintained exhibits and artifacts further enriched the experience, showcasing the castle's significance in the region's history.
One of the highlights was climbing to the top of the castle's towers, where I was rewarded with mesmerizing vistas of the Jordanian landscape. The views were simply breathtaking, and I couldn't resist taking numerous photographs to capture the beauty of the moment.
The castle grounds were well-maintained, with plenty of informative signage and resting areas. The staff members were friendly, accommodating, and more than willing to answer any questions I had.
Overall, my visit to Ajloun Castle was nothing short of extraordinary. Its historical significance, impressive architecture, and stunning surroundings make it a true gem in Jordan's cultural heritage. I highly recommend this site to anyone seeking an immersive and enchanting journey back in time.

Standing 1250 meters above sea level is Ajloun Castle. Ajloun Castle is a 12th Century fortress that was built under the rule of the sultan and military leader Saladin. The Castle is set on top of Mount ‘Auf and provides visitors with astonishing views of the Jordan Valley and surrounding desert. Over the years the castle has undergone many rebuilds and although much of the original features no longer exist, there are many chambers, carvings, and towers to keep both adults and children interested.

Beautiful park had a really nice time there, clean facilities, well taken care of reserve, gorgeous and artistic gardens and more! Environmentally friendly. Great place for lovely nature time, on each time of the year the place looks different due to many plants types.

Great walk for all ages and energy levels. Stopped here on Shabbat morning around 915am. We beat the crowd and heat. We only went to the memorial garden as my dad has issues walking (due for knee replacement). Beautiful gardens.

Very beautiful park for a short 30-60 minutes hike. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The plants variety is ok - they could add more exotic stuff. The "smells" garden is awesome!
Officially the entrance is free but you would likely arrive with a car and will need to pay 25 NIS for parking.

Very nice garden with beautiful flowers and plants. If you are a green thumb lover like me, you must visit it. You are not allowed to bring any food inside (good thing actually, as it is super clean). There was a nice guard at the entrance.

A wonderful garden with a view over the Mediterranean. A walk at a normal pace would take around one hour.
The park is accessible, and the walk is easy with many places to rest and sit along the trail. It might be a little chilly due to the height and breeze from the sea.
The entrance is free but the parking costs 25 NIS per car.

I live close to this park, a nature reserve, so weather permitting - which in Israel is most of the time- I go biking or hiking, walking, strolling through this park. My last visit was with a group of friends for a sunrise hike over the old ruins. Spectacular!

Amazing place to enjoy nature and have a closer look at the plants and flowers in Israel.

Caesarea National Park features the remains of a port city built by King Herod, including ancient Roman ruins such as an aqueduct and amphitheater. It also boasts upmarket harbor shops and dining options, making it a great destination for history enthusiasts and those interested in archeology. Visitors can swim in the sea at nearby HaBonim Beach, which is less crowded on weekdays.
Beautiful and rich in preserved history. If you like history, archeology and having a glimpse into how people in the past lived, these Roman ruins will give you a great view. It is worth the stop to see.

I love the Israeli park system but this one in particular was a little annoying. It seems they’ve allowed to much of the world to deep into the antiquity; the amphitheater was dressed up for a concert and every where you turned there were concessions blasting junky western music.

Very cool place to visit in Israel. Has very deep history and beautiful features. Highly recommended to come during weeks days, less crowded.
Parking was free, at least when we visited!
Park has a very nice museum on site, highly recommended to visit and watch the movie about the park.
If you want to see everything, it will take you about 3 hours to walk around. Take your time and drink a lot of water.

A must visit! This is a good half day tour from Tel Aviv or if you travelling to Haifa. Relatively big ancient ruins site, including the hippodrome, amphitheatre, and a stunning view of the crystal clear blue sea.
You can also watch a short clip about the history of Caesarea and how/why the Romans built the city.
If you are going on a sunny day, be sure to put plenty of sunscreen, bring a hat and water! There’s really not many shades available to hide under. Also don’t forget to visit the Aqueduct which is 5 minutes drive away (and is free to visit!)

Love love love this city. So much to see and do. History and artifacts are everywhere. Definitely pack a hat, comfy walking shoes, sunscreen and water as there is lots of walking and exploring to do and it gets quite warm with little shade. Nice places to stop and eat overlooking the water but make sure to book if you want a window seat. Really cool place and a must see if you are in Israel. Highly recommend.

A roman historical place built by Herod the Great. I visited this place by night and it had a different feel to it. The lighting at night is really beautiful and the sound and smell of the ocean complete the vibe. I was here on a Saturday night and it was very lively, music playing, couples walking around, people dining and wining. Definitely a historical and beautiful place to visit on your trip to Israel.

Great place for being immersed in history while having good restaurants all around. I was shocked that they closed at 5pm the entry to the ancient remains.. I mean where do the directors of the place leave? It is Israel in august, you need to offer an early evening tour as it is too hot during the day!!! We had a full day with friends, restaurant, ice cream and a nice walk, plus we went to the beautiful little beach just after the beach bar and had a great swim (but remember to bring shoes as it is very rocky). It would have been 5 stars if it wasn’t for the place closing at 5pm!

One of the most important national parks in Israel, very interesting and well organized. I was there on a Monday and I parked for free right at the main entrance to the park.
If you intend to visit several national parks, I recommend you to buy the Israel Pass for 3 sites (78NIS) or 6 sites (110NIS).
You must reserve at least 2-3 hours so that you can admire all these special places in no rush.

Beautiful and rich in preserved history. If you like history, archeology and having a glimpse into how people in the past lived, these Roman ruins will give you a great view. It is worth the stop to see. This is an impressive Roman era ruin. It is vast and beautiful because it was a right next to the Mediterranean Sea. I enjoyed seeing all the first century arches, the ruins of Herod’s palace and bathhouse, the hippodrome, and the amphitheater. Going here is like walking into history. Paul and Peter from the Bible spent significant time in this place. Even if you are not a history buff, it is easy to imagine people living here and their way of live. It's also a home of amazing restaurants and craft galleries. A must visit.
Alex Drukpa. — Google review
It's all the ruins of what once was great port city. Most of the structures are gone, what's left are pieces of such structures, many are mounted on metal posts.
I had visited other ruins of old towns/cities in my global travel. This one gave a distinct disappointment as there seems to be no signs of archaeologic activity on site.
What's notably left here are:
1. the Roman Amphitheater, which has been dressed up and used for concerts: really? in such a fragile environment???
2. the Hippodrome, a miniature version of Roman's Palatine.
3. portions of the citadel and tower.
I'm not sure the 39NIS (10.26USD) is justified.

Went for a day trip here. Takes about 2 hours to explore it all. Can spend more time to relax by the port in restaurants within the park. Ruins from the Roman times..the view is enhanced by the sea besides. Two beaches nearby to add to the trip. Worth visiting for sure when in Israel or when a short one day vacation is what you are looking for.

The history is amazing. How civilizations built this port city long ago shows the ingenuity of the time. A sobering fact is of how this was only accomplished by the sacrifice of slaves.
The Mediterranean is a beautiful sea and you can at least do your toes here.
The hippodrome was the most fascinating to me as I love horses. All I could think about was galloping around that track. On a horse of course.
What an experience.
Antique building, part of the ancient city. Now restored and open for various events. There are two entrances: to the territory of the old city, and to the area with cafes and shops. If you do not plan to have lunch, then it is better to pay only for one ticket - to the old city.

As a visit during the day, it’s nice but nothing to write home about. But definitely would appreciate cleaner toilets.
The Royal Automobile Museum in Jordan is a must-visit for car enthusiasts and history buffs alike. It showcases over 70 classic cars and motorbikes from King Hussein's personal collection, offering a fascinating glimpse into the story of modern Jordan. From pre-1950s classics to modern sports cars, the museum features a diverse range of vehicles including American cruisers and luxurious Rolls-Royces.
Nice experience, worth it!

Located in the heart of the capital city, the museum boasts a stunning collection of vintage and modern vehicles, ranging from classic cars to motorcycles, all belonging to the royal family.
One of the highlights of the museum is the opportunity to witness the vehicles once owned and driven by the late King Hussein and his family. From luxurious Rolls-Royces to rugged Land Rovers, these cars provide a glimpse into the life and legacy of Jordan's beloved monarch.

Mount Nebo is a significant religious site in Jordan known for its stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea and hills of Jerusalem. The site holds great historical importance to both Christians and Jews as it is believed to be the place where Moses gazed upon the Promised Land. Visitors can explore ancient ruins, view intricate mosaics at Madaba and learn about local culture from knowledgeable drivers.
The views are breathtaking. Before you come, refresh yourself with the biblical story of Moses. This memorial is awe inspiring and helped me put a site to the story. Being in the same location genuinely moved me emotionally.

Another must visit place in Amman. It has historical significance for 3 major religions. Visit this place with a guide, as the scriptures there are limited. There are many tourists here.

This is a definite stop along the tourist route in Jordan. Allegedly where Moses looked out and saw the promised land. The view is very nice and there is a nice breeze. The church at the top has great mosaics to see. The entrance fee is 3 Jordanian dinars. Cash only. Jordan pass is not accepted. If you wait for the tourist bus to leave, you can take pictures without people in them.

As I stood atop Mt Nebo I really wished
Moses had the same experience as I thousands of years ago. Apparently he could see all the lands “that god gave his people” for hundreds of Kilometers. If the weather was not so clear perhaps middle eastern history would be radically different today! On an overcast and hazy day you barely see the road you drove up on. We approached from river Jordan direction and the road is a spectacular drive of crazy gradients and hairpin bends.

The Baptismal Site of Jesus Christ
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred spot dedicated to Jesus on the Jordan River, with hermits' caves, monastery ruins & churches.
The Baptismal Site of Jesus is a gorgeous location with a lot of history. You can definitely tell that this location has been made for tourism unfortunately, but regardless, this is another must visit in Jordan. I would recommend this place to my closest friends and family.
Joshua Bailey — Google review
Great historical place. The tour guide is very educated and knowledgeable. It’s better to buy the ticket with the Jordan pass, it’s cheaper that way. Bus that takes you to the actual baptism site is every 30 minutes. You’re able to buy drinks and snacks on the site. Cash only.
Kuba Markowski — Google review
Amazing place! You’ll be frustrated by the lack of water where jesus actually stood and got baptized, but what i found strange is standing on the border of the river, with Palestinian people just on the other side, and we spoke together. Surreal experience for a Lebanese like me.

Costs 12JD to enter. You will need to take their shuttle bus to enter and there will be a guide who takes you around. The guide doesn't really explain the area, but only points out the spots.
You will go to a few spots - a souvenir store, the River Jordan, the original site of the church, the church, a baptism spot, and a museum.
I asked about baptism, and they said we will need to purchase a baptism robe for 14JD.
Wei Jie Tan — Google review
This is also a must visit place. So historical. The staff there is great. Guide is recommended. Sole ticket is expensive so it is advised to get Jordan pass online. Take loads of pictures, and do take a dip in there too. It is really historic. Best time to visit are mornings and evenings. Their gift shop is a rip off. Dont buy from there. You can get same stuff from Amman.

As an avid traveler, I always enjoy venturing to historically significant sites with religious connotations, which is precisely what led me to visit this specific destination in Jordan. However, as a critic, I have to say that the steep price of 12 Jordanian dinars for the entry ticket is exorbitant, given the few things on display.
Don't get me wrong; the place is fascinating, boasting an array of unique features that inevitably add to the area's religious centrality. However, for the price, visitors are left underwhelmed by what is on offer. Regardless of the obvious historical significance of the venue, one cannot help but feel a tad let down and unsatisfied at the end of the tour.
Nonetheless, the site is worth visiting if you possess an earnest interest in historical and religious relics, such as those present here. If you are willing to pay the high entry ticket and navigate the crowds, you may gain a glimpse into the past and see some incredible artifacts that date back centuries. For enthusiasts of history and culture, this site is worth seeing if only once.

Beautiful site, very historical and magical, on the Jordan river bordering with Israel. What a pity the mandatory tour guide, so-called David, ruined our experience starting with a late start, and was horrible, he obviously hated his job!! Only pointed things as what it was and no explanation, he spent more time and explained in the souvenir shop than the essential sites. The museum has no English explanation, and the guide sure didn’t add to it. He stayed outside. You have no choice if you want to see the site!!

It is neatly maintained, but they charge 12 JD to take you in a bus from visitor center to the spot and then make you walk a long way. Well, they could just allow cars to go till that spot and reduce the bus and walk. But I guess it's part of their tour experience.

Wow. Even if this wasn't the exact historical spot where Jesus was baptised, it probably wasn't far off. The historical record of pilgrims visiting the place stretches back to the 5th century. Unfortunately, due to lack of water flowing in the Jordan, the original site is now quite a way from the main river flow. There is a new site where there are steps down to the water (on both sides), where you are literally meters from the border which is in the centre of the river.

Rugged mount within the Judean Desert known for its Dead Sea views & cliffside monastery.
We took a cable car from ground level to reach the top, and then climbed up the steep ascent to reach the Mount Temptation Greek Monastery. The weather on the day we visited was crazy 40C and I couldn't take a nice photo of the monastery from the cable car. It was worth the visit. Women are allowed in the Monastery and it was built inside a cave, and the ambiance was really amazing. I included some photos to show its interior here.

First of all, based on its name, it's not exactly what you might first think. The Mount of Temptation is regarded as the mountain on which Christ was tempted by the devil during his 40-day fast. A Greek monastery built on the top looks like a huge floating structure from a distance.
If you have a car you'd drive real close but still the last 5-600 feet will be more than strenuous (and the drive itself is, say, interesting).
Your best bet is to take the cable car. The view is fantastic and once you get out a pleasant walk takes you to the Monastery. Once in a lifetime experience.

I'll never travel to Jerusalem without this trip planner again
The church, built in the 19th century, contains a mosaic floor dating back to the Byzantine period. The floor is significant because it is one of the oldest maps of Palestine in existence and provides many historical insights into the region.
A very small church which stands over thousands of years. In the floor you will still see the maps that were drawn. If you go down into the church vestry you will see very old paintings. Ladies if you are wearing shorts, they will give you a gown to entre, so please make sure that you are not wearing shorts when entering the church. There is a small suvinior shop where you can purchase tickets to enter. There are many local guides standing out sidr the church who will guide you through the history of the church at an extra cost. Across from the church are small shops selling Dead Sea products and suviniors.

Beautiful church with large ancient mosaic map on the floor. With a bit of sleuthing you can figure out some of the places on the map, or you can use the legend outside. You need a ticket to enter as a tourist (they can tell who is and who isn't). You get the ticket at the gift shop. The site held our interest for longer than we expected, not only by the mosaic but also by the lovely, more recent paintings coverng the walls. No dedicated parking. We parked on a nearby street. There are plenty of inexpensive restaurants surrounding this area.

A Greek Orthodox Church in the city of Mudaba famous for its mosaic floor discovered in the 6th century.
The mosaic map on the floor was rediscovered in 1896 and the church built on top of it. Besides being famous for the oldest map in the region, the church walls are decorated with biblical murals and paintings giving the building a beautiful rustic feel.
Barely 30-40 mins outside Amman, there are a number of souvenir shops and cafes around the church. Also visit the visitor center for a full map of the King’s highway.

This church is still used for worship so please take the visiting hours into consideration. Small and nice mosaic work on the walls and columns (mainly modern panels and icons). Perhaps the most impressive feature is the mosaic floor with a medieval map of the Levant at the time of the Crusades. Entry is not included with the Jordan Pass.

A beautiful church with nice architectural and biblical importance. But i will recommend going with the help of a guide so that u get to know the meaning of the map and its importance.

Apparently the church became famous when in 1884 Christian builders discovered a mosaic map of extraordinary importance. To this day, it represents the oldest map of Palestine in existence and provides many historical insights into the region
Crafted in AD 560, the map has 157 captions (in Greek) depicting all the major biblical sites of the Middle East, from Egypt to Palestine. It was originally around 15 m to 25 m long and 6 m wide, and once contained more than two million pieces. Although much of the mosaic has been lost, enough remains to sense the complexity of the whole. Its importance can be gauged by the fact that a separate enclosure has been built. Here a wall mounted copy of the map giving all the land marks in couple of languages. Batched are allowed here by turn. Once inside guides explain the map. Actual map is on the floor inside the Church.
So far as I was concerned I was most impressed the with the church itself. It was very colorful with hundreds of colorful mosaics everywhere on the wall, on pillars and all over the church. Unlike other churches where it is dark and atmosphere sober, here it was colorful and appeared vibrant with life .
Enjoyed the colorful St George's Greek Orthodox Church at Madaba.

This is the church in which famous Madaba map is located which attracts tourists to Madaba. This is an important Christian pilgrim site in Jordan. It's a 19th century Greek Orthodox Church constructed over a Byzantine church. It was discovered in 1884 during excavation to find a mosaic map measuring 25 meter long and 6 meter wide, showing all Christian holy sites in middle east. It is said that this mosaic map was made in 560 AD. Some portuons of original map were destroyed during it was burried or during excavation. But most of it is preserved. On the map, the north is on left side. Jerusalem is placed in the middle. It is believed that some Christian sites known today to the world, were exacavated after discovery of Madaba map as details of their locations were approximated from this Madaba map. The church itself is also beautifully decorated.
In courtyard of the church, in souvenir shop, a more clear version of Madaba mosaic map is out on wall which is more understandable.

The mosaic is fantastic, and it is actually one of the more old maps of the area and one of the oldest known maps in general . The entrance fee is 1JD as it is not included in the Jordan pass.

Nice church with impressive mosaic on the ground floor! Nice mosaic on the walls complement the visit. Pretty small so the entire visit will take about 15 mins.

Amazing looking church. Unfortunately as right now the renovating the church so if you are looking about the service its happening at the ledt of the church, inside the school.
Service time 7:30 - 10:00

Beautiful church with large ancient mosaic map on the floor. With a bit of sleuthing you can figure out some of the places on the map, or you can use the legend outside. You need a ticket to enter as a tourist (they can tell who is and who isn't). You get the ticket at the gift shop. The site held our interest for longer than we expected, not only by the mosaic but also by the lovely, more recent paintings coverng the walls. No dedicated parking. We parked on a nearby street. There are plenty of inexpensive restaurants surrounding this area.

It's a beautiful church located in the heart of Madaba.
The mosaic map inside the church is absolutely beautiful.
Don't hesitate to visit the gift and mosaic shops around the place. It's worth it.
I recommend visiting this place and walk around this area.

A Greek Orthodox Church in the city of Mudaba famous for its mosaic floor discovered in the 6th century.
The mosaic map on the floor was rediscovered in 1896 and the church built on top of it. Besides being famous for the oldest map in the region, the church walls are decorated with biblical murals and paintings giving the building a beautiful rustic feel.
Barely 30-40 mins outside Amman, there are a number of souvenir shops and cafes around the church. Also visit the visitor center for a full map of the King’s highway.

This church is still used for worship so please take the visiting hours into consideration. Small and nice mosaic work on the walls and columns (mainly modern panels and icons). Perhaps the most impressive feature is the mosaic floor with a medieval map of the Levant at the time of the Crusades. Entry is not included with the Jordan Pass.

A beautiful church with nice architectural and biblical importance. But i will recommend going with the help of a guide so that u get to know the meaning of the map and its importance. Also make sure not to visit on a holiday, its soo crowded that the experience is underwhelming from your expectations. The old mosaic floor is a beauty in itself.

Apparently the church became famous when in 1884 Christian builders discovered a mosaic map of extraordinary importance. To this day, it represents the oldest map of Palestine in existence and provides many historical insights into the region
Crafted in AD 560, the map has 157 captions (in Greek) depicting all the major biblical sites of the Middle East, from Egypt to Palestine. It was originally around 15 m to 25 m long and 6 m wide, and once contained more than two million pieces. Although much of the mosaic has been lost, enough remains to sense the complexity of the whole. Its importance can be gauged by the fact that a separate enclosure has been built. Here a wall mounted copy of the map giving all the land marks in couple of languages. Batched are allowed here by turn. Once inside guides explain the map. Actual map is on the floor inside the Church.
So far as I was concerned I was most impressed the with the church itself. It was very colorful with hundreds of colorful mosaics everywhere on the wall, on pillars and all over the church. Unlike other churches where it is dark and atmosphere sober, here it was colorful and appeared vibrant with life .
Enjoyed the colorful St George's Greek Orthodox Church at Madaba.

This is the church in which famous Madaba map is located which attracts tourists to Madaba. This is an important Christian pilgrim site in Jordan. It's a 19th century Greek Orthodox Church constructed over a Byzantine church. It was discovered in 1884 during excavation to find a mosaic map measuring 25 meter long and 6 meter wide, showing all Christian holy sites in middle east. It is said that this mosaic map was made in 560 AD. Some portuons of original map were destroyed during it was burried or during excavation. But most of it is preserved. On the map, the north is on left side. Jerusalem is placed in the middle. It is believed that some Christian sites known today to the world, were exacavated after discovery of Madaba map as details of their locations were approximated from this Madaba map. The church itself is also beautifully decorated.
In courtyard of the church, in souvenir shop, a more clear version of Madaba mosaic map is out on wall which is more understandable.
The ANU Museum of the Jewish People is a heritage museum tracing the history of the Jewish people from antiquity to the present day. The museum is situated in Ramat Aviv, a northern Tel Aviv suburb and is popular with Jews from all over the world. Permanent displays take visitors through history, introducing them to important Jewish figures. The museum also conducts educational programs to teach about Judaism.
I highly recommend going to this well-invested museum. Also suitable for children but aged 10+. There are many interactive displays to connect visitors to Jewish history. Includes original items from history. You can spend a good few hours in the museum. There is parking nearby.

Fascinating (and very large) museum tackling the concept of “being Jewish”, what it means in contemporary context and through history. Some standout exhibits, some interactive ones, educational and fun for all ages. Could mystify the uninitiated.

Very interesting museum about Jewish identity. 3 floors, each with a different topic. Be sure to have plenty of time to spend here, there’s a lot to see.

The museum tells you the history of Jewish diaspora and describes Jewish contribution to world culture, as well as the state of the art of the Israeli culture. Consists of three floors focusing on different parts of the subject, it is hard to encompass all the content in one day. Contains interactive features, such as touchscreens, headphones, games. Overall very interesting, although sometimes overly sketchy. Some exhibits are no more than the info from Wikipedia. It is good that they collected it all in a nice form, but I would love to see more insights. In general, a very interesting place, I would come there again.

The museum has a considerate although often contesting, conflicting and pretentious, content. It might be worth visiting to make up your own opinion. Hence the second star. Also, I had at first a super friendly staff welcoming, but this is probably just to charge me a quite high price of almost 15 eur. However, due to construction, arround the University campus, almost alll entrances to the University campus were closed. It took me more than an hour to reach the entrance with no clear guidance just in a hope walking on the perimeter of the campus in the 32 C hit. One group of 5 people didn't even tried finding the entrance. Phone was not answering but authomatic messages. When asked the staff if possible to use the entry ticket for the following day due to lost time, I was refused. :( So I could see only one floor from three in remaining time. Souvenirs shop and cafe closed, due to weekend. but this was comunucated on the website.
So I guess you meed to take care more for the people willing to learn about your interpretation of the hystory at least providing a clear guidance for entrance and a little jesture to offer at least some compensation acvess for the time lost searching the entrance would had been a friendly jesture.

Warning: This museum is a rabbit hole - once you are in, you won‘t leave! A very good museum that presents Jewish history, cultural life and religion in a modern way. With interesting short movies, good explanations and historic artefacts. Must-see if you have the time and you are interested in Jewish culture.

An amazingly and well designed museum. So much to see and explore.
Had a great time with my 7th grade class.
2 hours isn't enough.our guide, Doron, was excellent and knowledgeable.

This museum tells about the history and partly the culture of the Jews, and from different angles (music, cinema, theater, religion) and from different times. We can say that here you can see and read everything you would like to know about the Jews.
Very interesting exhibits and their descriptions. Some look like full-fledged small rooms filled with "what the museum wants to show you." It was an interesting experience.
P.S.: The museum is located on the territory of the "university campus", to get into it, you need to go through the checkpoint, and not look on the map for a direct entrance to the museum from the street.

I have been to the previous Diaspora Museum a few times and this is my first visit to the renovated and modernized new museum. It’s almost a brand new experience with so many interactive, hi-tech items that kids can play with. It’s so much fun and educational at the same time. The whole atmosphere is different: diverse, colorful, bright, modern, and optimistic. I love the new museum a lot more than the previous one.

A very good museum to learn more about the Jewish people. 50 NIS per person. We spent 2 to 3 hours there. Level 3 to 2 were the best. Level 1 needs a bit more work. Getting of the tickets could be faster.

Great museum you can easily spend 2 to 3 hours immersing yourself into history of the jewish
The map doesn’t have updated information on the construction going on and where exactly to enter. It took us a while walking to figure that out. However really worth going to the museum and learning

Do yourself a favor and visit this phenomenal museum if you are in Israel or in Tel Aviv as a tourist, as this is one of the highlights of my trip to Israel! I just learned that the place has been renovated and re-opened last 2021, and could probably be the reason why the museum looks very remarkable - ultra modern, spacious, eclectic, and very well-curated. I have learned more about the Jewish people of today and yesteryears, and I was surprised that some very famous people are Jewish (Einstein is Jewish :)). Plus, the in-house tour guide or staff was a phenomenal guy who can speak English very well, and his enthusiasm was enthralling. Highly recommended!

A very impresive and comprehensive museum for the jewish history since the bible until today. The exhibition shows its contents in a modern and interesting way, for adults and children alike. We spent 6.5 hours as a family and could even stay longer... The heroes room is an extra charge but highly recommended for children, has lots of activities introducing important jewish figures and their work.
Don't miss it if you are in the area of Tel Aviv.
The Palmach Museum is an interactive museum documenting the history of the Jewish fighting brigade, Palmach. It's surprising because it also has narratives from the fighters themselves!
Not really a museum but more an experience traveling through multiple rooms telling the story of the Palmach. Personalised by relating entirely to a small team. Used original and recreated film which are clearly distinguished. Brings the early struggle for the state to life

I went there now at 9.00, but the museum is closed though it should open at 9.00. There is no anouncement on the homepage (neither in the english nor in the hebrew section). The guards said that they open late today only at 10.30. I am an ICOM-Member and visit many museums. Something like this only happend to me in provincial village museums: very unprofessional!

The Palmach Museum is located in Ramat Aviv and is dedicated to the Palmach strike-force of the Haganah defense organization that operated prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

Honestly the most boring museum I have been too in a long time. I was externally disappointed with the lack of accommodations this museum provided. Note that this Museum does not offer subtitles on any of the films.

You MUST have a pre-arranged reservation and your passport to get through security and pay the ₪30 entrance fee. There is only the timed, guided tour through the museum that has been built into a military facility.
The tour itself starts with a short speech from your guide, followed by a series of film projections in specially curated sets. The story follows a founding group's experiences through Independence and the subsequent Arab conflicts from the Isreali perspective as the Palmach transitions to the IDF.
There is also a large collection of photographic artifacts and a small Café. Often there are vetrans that visit at the end of the tour for questions and photos.

Amazing museum. Tell the history in a very engaging and emotional way. You really get into the story. And you learn the values that allowed us to get our country. Very educational experience for kids and adults.
The sound system is not amazing, though.. and it's not recommended to young kids, or highly sensitive...
Bring tissue paper...

Wow! Wow! Wow! Stunning tour of history! You need to call ahead and make a reservation and keep in mind that the tour is appropriate for 6 years and above. The tour keeps all your senses including smell in mind as you are shuffled through time underground. Fantastic! Compelling and as always, whdn considering the personal stories of Israel history, bittersweet.

Hayarkon Park, located in the citys north, is Israel's most famous park. With 6 landscaped gardens and a pond, as well as sport facilities, open lawns and mini-golf, it complements Tel Avivs urban charm. The park also features 3,500 species of plants and an impressive botanic garden.
My favourite park in TA. Suitable for long walks In summer days it smells eucalyptus. Bicycle accessible.
