IL05: Splendors of Caesarea and the Carmel
We’re headed to the biggest city of Antiquity in ancient Israel – Caesarea. We will first appreciate the impressive remains of the city’s aqueduct, then enter the city’s citadel through the crusaders gate, view the port remains as well as the visitors center, and stroll along the shore to see the city’s hippodrome, theatre, bathhouse, and Herod’s palace.
We then ascend to the Carmel to visit the traditional site of the confrantation between Eiljah and the 450 prophets of Baal (Muchraka), and have lunch in a Druze village. Continuing to Haifa we will apprieciate the stunning view of the Bahaian Terraced Gardens, and possibly end the day with some coffee and knafeh at Wadi Nisnas.
* on this tour it is also possible to visit the former British detainee camp at Atlit.
