The Underwater Archeological Park – Diving into History
The Underwater Archeological Park is the first of its kind in Israel—and in the world. Established and launched by the Caesarea Development Corporation with the assistance of researchers from Haifa University at the end of April 2006. The area of the sunken port covers 200 dunam, and contains the ruins of pools, breakwaters, loading and unloading docks, warehouses, boardwalks and beacons.The underwater tour provides a unique experience that is not available anywhere else in the world. It tracks the techniques used to build the ports in ancient times and displays the sophisticated construction methods adopted by Herod’s engineers that built the first breakwaters in history.
Rappel Down Mount Sodom’s Salt Caves
A unique, if not a slightly extreme activity, begins with the descent into one of the most amazing natural phenomena in the world: a salt cave with stalactites and stalagmites adjacent to the Dead Sea.
In the middle of the desert, along the shores of the Dead Sea, the Sodom Mountain, contains about 150 salt caves hidden inside. These salt caves are one of Israel’s best-kept secrets. Our professional guides will lead you to one of these caves, an amazing one, actually, fully made of salt. Even if you don’t have rappelling experience we will teach you how to descend 90 meters into the darkness and explore the underground world of salt stalactites and stalagmites.
Nighttime Jeep Safari in the Negev Desert
The Negev Desert Night Safari tour takes you into the wondrous desert landscape after sunset, when the stars light the night sky, and the abundant desert wildlife wake up and begin their day. Led by an animal behavior expert we take a jeep tour and keep your eyes peeled for wolves, hyenas, desert foxes, porcupines, ibexes, bats, owls and, if you’re very lucky, one of the few remaining Arabian leopards.
Underground Jerusalem
If you’ve seen the Western Wall, wandered through the Jewish Quarter and Arab markets, and stood over Jesus’ tomb in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre – now what? Well, underneath Jerusalem’s Old City, far away from noisy streets and the scorching sun, lie ancient tunnels, remnants of a 2,000-year-old Jewish city. Let’s learn about the history and of the artifacts discovered inside the tunnel.
Visit the Rosh Hanikra Grottoes
Located in the north-west part of Israel, just a stone’s throw away from the Lebanese border, these enchanting geological formations are some of the most unique sites to visit in the country. The grottoes were formed in the wake of underground shocks that created gaps within the bedrock. Slowly, rainwater penetrated these rifts, forming tunnels and caves that continued to expand as the waves repeatedly slammed against the rocks.
