Galilee UNESCO Heritage Tour from Haifa Port

This tour will take you through time to very different places, all of which combine to the mosaic of sites and interests that make up modern Israel. We will visit the site of Armagedon, burial tombs of the Rabbi's, Bahai shrines and magical Acre. At Megiddo, we meet a Tel (archaeological hill) covering 25 different layers of civilization. . . . . the most recent from 2400 years ago. Bet Shearim houses the tombs of scholars and Rabbis from 1500 years ago in an underground "tomb city". The limestone caves preserved the tombs till discovery in the last century and much is still left to be uncovered. Acre is best known as the crusader port city which survived till the late 13th century. Recently discovered "knights Halls" and "Templar Tunnels" transport one straight back to Ivanhoe, the Black Knight and Hakim of Scott's stories of the crusades. The Bahá'i shrines of Acre and Haifa trace their beginnings to the 19th century. Their beauty and attention to detail have greatly enhanced these port cities.
