Rosh Hanikra Grottos

An awesome wonder of nature. The water erosion here is mind boggling and created glorious grottoes.

Ghetto Fighters Museum

A moving display put together by Warsaw Ghetto survivors.

Caesarea

Herodian and Crusader ruins, theatres and bath houses, prayer sites and port, all are there for you to explore. The multimedia center rebuilds the sites and important historical figures from Caesarea’s many time periods.

Hannah Szenes Museum

A brief film about a powerful heroine who’s life was cut short

Zichron Yaakov has multiple sites:

Beit HaTotchan, or Gunner’s House is the Artillery Corp Memorial and Museum.

Beit Ahronson- the story of the WWI NILI spy ring, including escape tunnel, secret compartments, coded messages, and a love triangle.

Rothschild Gardens- a pretty site all year, there is now a really good film about the famous philanthropists as well.

The First Aliyah Museum- screens in each section re-enact the tough trials and errors experienced by this early wave of Aliyah.

Tishbi Winery- a large winery producing excellent award winning wines with a fantastic chef’s restaurant and great sourdough bread

Atlit

The largest British detention camp for the “illegal” Jewish immigrants before 1948 and the fascinating story of the escape led by Yitzchak Rabin and others.

Ziporri National Park

The unofficial mosaic capital of the parks, with ancient synagogue, mansions, and public sites with colourful Roman and Byzantine mosaics. This is where Rabbi Judah HaNasi edited the Mishna.

Kfar Kedem

We dress up like ancient times and ride donkeys, bake pitot and eat a meal

Beit She’arim

We see an ancient study hall (beit midrash) and a huge necropolis with interesting and surprising artwork.

Megiddo

Site of the death of two Judean kings, this ancient city at the crossroads of trade routes had an ingenious water supply system

Af Al Pi Chen Museum

2 for the price of 1- the Navy Museum as well as a museum of Ha’apala- the “illegals” who came on ships like the Exodus.

Bahai Gardens

Beautiful gardens, spectacular view of the Haifa bay region.

Acco (Acre) sites:

Acco prison- the Etzel (Irgun) planned and executed a Great Escape from this maximum security British lockup.

The Or Torah Tunisian Synagogue- mosaics tell the story of the People of Israel, the Land of Israel and the Torah of Israel in the most unique way

Crusader Underground site- explore tunnels, crypts and giant halls used in the Medieval period by knights in shining armor.

Tiberias

A potpourri of activities are to be found in this scenic coastal town on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Water activities include swimming, banana boating and jet skiing. We can visit the tombs of Maimonides, Rabbi Meir and other illustrious rabbis. This area is noted for its excellent cuisine.

Zfat (Safed)

Art galleries, ancient synagogues, kabbalists, candles, the Davidka and lush vistas combine to create a kaleidoscope experience.

Arbel Cliffs

A great hike down the cliff face, not for tots or acrophobic people.

The Hula Nature Reserve

Bird watching, bike trails and more.

Tel Dan

An ancient biblical site in the middle of a majestic nature reserve with water gushing out of the ground all year round in what is perhaps my favorite tranquil trail in the north.

Tel Hazor

For archaeology buffs, this site was one of the late Yigal Yadin’s major digs many years ago, but continues to yield new finds.

The Hatzbani (Nahal Snir)

A nature hike where we will get wet. The waterfalls are freezing and fantastic, and the walk by the stream is challenging.

Rafting down the Jordan

There are several sites where this fun activity can be done. What a great way to cool off!

Manara Cliffs

Ride the cable car up for the view, and then pick what you want to do: rappel or zip line down, ride the alpine slide, bungee trampoline, etc.
