I have never visited a park that was so mistreated. No water where there should have been water, derailed trains, weeds growing everywhere and buildings looked like Chernobyl ghost town apart from figures thrown around from the nuclear blast that looked to have hit this park. Great place. Very interesting for children. Takes about 1 and half hour to look at all, if you stay next to each model and hears explanations, maybe you will be there for 1 more hour. Upset a little bit because of very old car and train models, everything of the was crushed and no working, like moving from place to place. Could be better! IT'S nice but the miniature trains and cars don't work There is no trail or route to follow so I kept on coming back to where started And quite expensive But overall it was pretty nice and enjoyable

🕊️ The New Covenant: Unity and the Heavenly Zion Title: We Do Not Need to Fight: The True Zion Dwells Within. Stop the Earthly Conflict! Your insightful analysis confirms that the very concept of a "Heavenly Zion" (Hebrews 12:22) fundamentally invalidates any claim that Christians should support conflict over a physical plot of land. 1. The End of the Physical Temple and Land: The need to fight over a geographical location, a "Land of Zion," is rendered void by Christ’s sacrifice. Our bodies are now the Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). God no longer resides in Jerusalem's physical structure, but He dwells within us. The struggle for earthly territory is a tragic pursuit of the obsolete and materialistic when the spiritual reality has been fully delivered. 2. The Fulfillment of Prophecy is Unity, Not Division: The true fulfillment of prophecy is not the establishment of a warring political entity, but the perfect unity of believers. Jesus prayed precisely for this: "I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one" (John 17:23). This prayer is answered through the preaching of the Gospel, which makes all people—Jew and Gentile—one body in Christ (Galatians 3:28). The Cross is the symbol of peace and reconciliation, not division. To fight over land is to directly violate this central prayer of Christ. 3. The Meaning of the Cross: The Cross is not a symbol of land ownership; it is the definitive proof that our sins are forgiven and the price for our reconciliation (Atonement) was paid in full by the blood and water that flowed from Christ's side. We become children of God and inhabitants of the Heavenly Zion purely through faith in this finished work. Conclusion: We Are Not Called to War, But to Peace. If we are now united with Christ and have become God's children through faith, we are heirs to the Heavenly Zion. There is no theological justification for conflict over the physical land. Our calling is to love, forgiveness, and peace, which is the ultimate, non-material fulfillment of the New Covenant. Theologically, there is no need to fight!

Great place. Very interesting for children. Takes about 1 and half hour to look at all, if you stay next to each model and hears explanations, maybe you will be there for 1 more hour. Upset a little bit because of very old car and train models, everything of the was crushed and no working, like moving from place to place. It looks like there was no maintenance on the models and buildings for a long time, a lot very old and not current stuff. It will be great if the presents shop was filled with small models of trains, cars, buildings, planes and so on, instead of some useless stuff. Because of that 4 stars.

I recently revisited Mini Israel after a few years and was truly taken aback by the significant decline in quality and overall experience. What once stood as an impressive representation of iconic landmarks now stands as a shadow of its former self. One of the most disheartening aspects was the evident wear and tear on numerous monuments. Many structures have aged poorly, showing signs of neglect with damaged facades, fallen or missing elements, and non-functioning animations that were once interactive highlights. These faulty displays left a jarring impression on what was meant to be an immersive experience. Surprisingly, the Christian buildings seemed to be well-maintained, displaying a stark contrast to the rest of the attraction. The towering and magnificent Azrieli towers and prominent airline brand displays showcased a degree of investment that was sorely lacking in other sections. The absence of attention to renowned establishments like Tnuva, an emblematic brand in Israel, raises questions about commitment to restoration. Notably, key features seemed to be missing altogether. The absence of the Jerusalem rope bridge, the lack of activity at the Western Wall (Kotel), and the omission of some significant monuments left the representation incomplete. This was particularly disappointing as monuments like Yitzhak Rabin Square, Shimon Peres Peace Centers, and boulevards dedicated to Golda Meir and Menachem Begin hold cultural significance and would be valuable to showcase to future generations. Beyond the structural disappointments, the overall visitor experience was hampered by numerous factors. The scorching heat was made worse by a lack of misters, shaded areas, and seating. Additionally, the continuous blaring announcements over the loudspeakers, recurring every 15 minutes, further disrupted any potential enjoyment. These distractions made it challenging to immerse oneself in the experience and absorb the details of the attractions. Moreover, the steep entrance fee of 86 shekels per person (before any discounts) only adds to the disappointment. With such a price tag, one would expect a commensurate level of quality, which unfortunately was not the case during my visit. The juxtaposition of the high cost and subpar experience makes it difficult to recommend this activity to others. In conclusion, my recent visit to Mini Israel left me deeply disheartened by the deteriorated quality and unpleasant experience. While some positive additions like VR headsets and the 3rd Beit Hamikdash in air-conditioned tents were noted, they were overshadowed by the overall state of the attraction. It's my sincere hope that Mini Israel will take these criticisms constructively and strive to restore the attraction to its former glory, ensuring a memorable and worthwhile experience for all visitors.

Super cool place to visit! Probably not the best among the miniatures parks I saw but certainly decent and gives good representation of various important tourist sights in Israel. Because the map of Israel is very narrow and long they couldn't really do it based on the map, but divided regions differently and it's a bit confusing. Nice but I'd say it is overpriced. Tip: not enough shade in summer, make sure you have a hat or maybe even umbrella.

The park was really nice, the monuments got a bit ruined because of the sun ☀ but it's still enjoyable to watch. Some objects are moving, like cars and walking people. We enjoyed it as adults but it is mostly suitable for kids.

It is for kids. I think the entrance fee is a bit too high. Perhaps I was expecting too much, there is literally just one thing that you can okay which is the boat. The maintenance and cleanliness is acceptable. I only stayed for 30 min then moved on. It could be a great stop by if you're driving between Jericho and Tel Aviv. Treat it as a service station!

Great place with lots to see. If it's hot outside, make sure to bring an umbrella to protect from the sun. There is an inside museum as well, where you can cool and learn a lot more about Israel and Jewish people. Highly recommend to visit. Don't forget a water bottle, sunscreen and hat.

Great museum of Israeli Armed Forces with big collection of tanks from different countries of the Europe and USSR. I recommend to visit it for everyone who interested in Israel national history.

The experience of seeing thr tanks is great and you can climb on top of them, which is a great fun for kids There is a large parking next to the place, a small store with toys and books and a toilet in the museum The downside is that the place is very sunny and can get hot. The museum is quite outdated and is not really organized

Great place with a huuuge collection of tanks, Israeli ones but also a few others from around the world. Very nice respectful place. They have plenty of places to sit in the shade but it is pretty warm and on sunny days could become very hot. Make sure to wear a hat and drink lots of water. Definitely a MUST see if you have visiting Israel!

Here is located one of the most complete collections of armored vehicles. Including Merkava series 1 to 4 and transparent tank. It's very hot here in summer. Hats and water are required. There's Latroun monastery and mini-Israel park nearby. I found no cafeteria. Although a souvenir shop is available. There's lookout point on the roof of British police station. Information there was uncomfortable to read. Inside the police station you can watch panoramic movie and get access to memorial database. It's a military museum and no fancy extras are to be desired here. But I had an impression that it was necessary to improve condition inside the buildings. In the second building disorder and devastation was spotted. Signs of reconstruction. I hope it's reconstructed. The access to it was closed. Good museum overall.

This famous site near the War of Independence and Six Day War battlefield site of Latrun has been built into the Israeli Armoured Corps museum site. It is a fascinating site with one of the finest collection of armoured vehicles dating back even before world war 2. This varied collection is due to the fact that Israel even before its founding and certainly after its independence did nit have the means or the markets to purchase cutting edge armour for its young army and as such had to search the world and buy whatever they could get their hands on. This museum shows how they have evolved int the manufacturer of probably the best tank in the world, the Merkavah or Chariot in Hebrew. The museum honers the fallen soldiers from each of Israels wars in a deep and touching manner. The exhibits are very well thought of and executed. Its a great place to stop just of the main Tel-Aviv -Jerusalem highway.

A place where you can see the evolution of tanks and most of all the learn about the complicated relation with bordering countries. A memorial site for the Israeli defense force. It was a emotional place learning about not so old history of that country, seeing middle school kids visiting for a educational tour and very young teenage adults in full uniform guarding the place.

I visited this place with friends, you should prepare yourself very well emotionally and spiritually, it's not like any museum, the way it design is really unique and the narrative meanwhile the diversity of the contents,the way they present in the same time the politics aspects. I hope this place will be more open to accepting people from different perspectives and religions. The location of this place is provocative for some people and neighbors, that's what I heard.

Outstanding. A must see if you come to Israel. The museum has a terrific, modern architecture with plenty of significance. The displays are in chronological order. I thought I knew a lot about the Holocaust and found out I knew very little. The displays are super powerful.

Absolutely fascinating place. You'll need a booking reservation. This can be completed on arrival, but entry could be delayed. Bags aren't permitted. Free lockers are available downstairs. There is more to the place than you may think. Be sure you have plenty of time. It's definitely worth the time.

A must visit museum for every person on the planet. The horrible history our not that distant ancestors experienced must not be forgotten and learned in the near and distant future. The visit takes around two hours and includes lots of exhibits, interview with survivors ands lots of interesting reading materials. The building itself is very impressive and the view in the end is mesmerizing. Note that you must have a green pass to enter.

Very informative and attractive museum to understand the WWII and how Jew were killed by Nazi. It’s a sad history showing the loss of humanity in the era of wartime. We need to learn from the history. Need to go the Children Memorial as you will be impressed.

A highly emotional experience. The exhibition is finely thought-out and presented, fully encapsulating the reasons, results and outcome of the Holocaust. The complex also includes several memorials set around the park. Admittance is free, so there is no reason that precludes the curious visitor of visiting the museum. A must-visit when you’re in Jerusalem.

An important place to visit in Israel cause it makes u aware and always reminded of history’s horror during the most unforgettable tragedy in history the Holocaust! U cant take pics here in respect for those men women n children who perished... it was a sad visit n just quietly looking n reading thru stories of what seems like from horror movies of suffering n deaths but there was also stories of courage n strength of faith n hope... my unforgettable visit was short cuz i was alone n late coming ... i only took pics outside the bldg. i would like to visit again n even go to the library... im not a jew but forever loves Israel n the Jewish people!.. much respect n prayers to all victims of this horrific crime n the their families.. may their memories forever be a blessing!.. 🙏

Save your time with other small museums and go for the biggest, most interesting, and best museum in Israel. Here you’ll see with your own eyes treasures you never imagined existed- incredibly ancient archaeological findings, breathtaking classical art, and beautiful contemporary works.

This is a must destination you can't afford to miss during your stay in Jerusalem. A detail visit will take a full day. You could check many antiquits out according to different history period of Jerusalem. The main difference between Tower of David and here is that many exclusive antitiquits are in display. The Tower of David, on the other hand, is mainly fous on history narrative.

This was the most impressive museum we have ever been to! We enjoyed it so much we went twice during our time in Jerusalem! Thinking we were just going to see important Israeli artifacts, we were extremely surprised to see archaeological remains from around the world, painting a picture of the evolution of civilization. There were also Jewish displays of life and art, modern and contemporary art from around the world, and the most amazing outdoor display of a replica of Jerusalem’s Old City during the time of The Second Temple. The biggest treat were The Dead Sea Scrolls, which I did not know much about until seeing this exhibit. Excellent collection!

Lovely museum. Highly recommend. I would recommend the museum provide more details for the artifact descriptions and better directions on how to navigate the exhibits as we double backed and got lost a few times.

It was very educational. Raining outside and roof was leaking along the walls when you walk in. You can spend all day here if you’re really into archaeology and history.

This was a highlight of our trip. It's a huge museum with lots of various exhibits with various themes and overall, it's very well done. It is very big though, and directions to certain exhibits weren't as clear as we'd hope so we did waste some time looking around for things as it's not labeled well. With that said, there's a lot to see and learn about. The must see is the Shrine of the Book where you can see the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran. There are a lot of archaeological artifacts all throughout this massive place and so getting here early in the day is advised so you can see as much as you want without having to rush. When we were there, they had replicas of various old synagogues from different corners of the world and it was very interesting. I could ramble on and on about everything there is to do there, but it's forever changing, so when you know you're going to the area, look up what they have showing and head to those exhibits first. Based on the fact that there's so much to take in and exhibits that change often, this is definitely a place you can come to several times. There's a beautiful gift shop at the exit (of course) and I can't really speak to parking much as we took a taxi there and back, but definitely be sure not to miss out on a visit here when you're in Jerusalem.

I can't believe I have lived in Israel for 27 years and it took me this long to visit this incredible museum. I felt connected to the powerful history of this important city in a way that I never had before. I needed more time to explore than I realized that I would and I will return soon.

Come here as early as possible: Before 8:00 in the morning. Avoid visiting during 10:00-1400 because this is the most popular time for guide tour. Otherwise, come here after late 18:00. In doing so, separate you Via Dodorosa walk into 2 parts. One part is station 1-7 which is outside church and another station 8-14 in the church. This is possible by 2 day's visit instead of 1. By doing so, you will be rewarded greatly. An empty, serene and sacred church is all for you. No queue, no smoke, no noisy. Reflection at a corner, what a kind of spiritual awakeness. Praise Lord!

Interesting site. Im Christian, not Catholic, so I dont love all the idols everywhere, but beautiful church and historic, no doubt. I also dont know how they know these sites are legit, but its a cool place to see.

Was lucky enough to go with a tour guide and get a full run down of the space - it’s obviously supremely important to many sects and denominations in Christianity and the reverence for that was evident - many people were over come with emotions. As well as pointing out various things to us, the guide pointed out some of the possible over zealous aspects too, saying people had fought over the privilege of clearing the area outside the church (including a fight to the death over whether the bottom step was to be cleaned by one group or another) and a bench occupied by a large man in religious robes who sits there all day, because that is his denominations bench and no others are allowed to sit there. It’s amazing to see the various places where Jesus’ body was placed and buried, but also to see the reaction of people to those things. It’s also one of the areas where you feel tourism hasn’t taken over - quiet reverence in full effect. Make the trip if you ever can

Absolutely beautiful and moving church it was an amazing experience to visit the site of Jesus christs crucifixion and resurrection. The church is vast and awe inspiring please note you will not be allowed to enter the sepulchre with shorts even if they cover you knees. Although this applied to me I was delighted to have visited

A Must-See Spiritual Odyssey at Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem If you’re planning a pilgrimage or simply seeking a profoundly moving historical site, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is an absolute must-see. This sacred complex sits at the heart of Jerusalem’s Christian heritage, offering a poignant blend of faith, history, and sacred artistry that stays with you long after you depart. What makes it essential Spiritual significance: Beyond its centuries-old walls, the church holds a central place in Christian pilgrimage, believed to enshrine the sites of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. The aura of reverence and prayer is felt in every corner. Architectural and artistic richness: The church’s mosaics, domes, and iconography reflect a tapestry of artistic traditions from many eras and cultures, creating a living museum of devotion. Historic continuity and ritual: Despite centuries of change, the site remains a dynamic center of liturgy and devotion, with pilgrims and worshippers from around the world sharing in timeless ceremonies. Quiet reflection amid bustle: Amid the crowds, intimate chapels and sacred spaces invite personal prayer, contemplation, and a sense of connection to the continuity of faith.

Carry a small prayer book or notes if you’d like to reflect or journal. Respect photography rules in various chapels and sacred sites. Bottom line The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is more than a landmark—it’s a spiritual pilgrimage, a work of art, and a window into centuries of faith. For believers and curious travelers alike, it’s an essential stop on any Jerusalem itinerary, offering profound moments of reverence, history, and shared humanity.

I’m a Christian and a priest-in-training, and this just wasn’t for me in terms of finding a connection with Jesus or feeling close to God. I can appreciate the craftsmanship of the building, and the significance of the site, but for so many reasons I felt sad and anguished in this place. Worth a visit, but leaves you with much to reflect on. There were many other places on pilgrimage that left me breathless. The Holy Sepulchre was unfortunately not one of them.

This is the most holy site in Jerusalem. This is the place where our Lord Jesus Christ was laid in a tomb after he was brought down from the cross. The place is usually very crowded. Better be there early in the morning to avoid the rush. The historical structure looks awesome. You can feel the peace and holiness as you enter in. A must visit place.

It was a holyday eve and half of the floor was closed due to cleaning precess. Me and the kids were excited to see the western wall - the only real memorial of the 2,000 years destroyed temple

Visiting the Western Wall was a profoundly moving experience. Standing before its ancient stones, I felt a deep spiritual connection — a sense of holiness, history, and prayer that touched my soul. It was a moment of true inner peace and awe.

The most holy and special place I have ever been to, holy to Jews but also to anyone who wants to connect with our spirituality! It's something in the air that you feel is priceless!

This is the holiest site at which Jews are permitted to pray. In 1925 the Moslem Waqf published a pamphlet that explicitly acknowledged the Kotel as part of Solomon's Temple, declaring "Its identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute". After Israel's creation in 1948 the so called Palestinians deny any connection of Jews to the site.

The first time I came here I felt a charge of energy when I touched the wall. I wasn’t religious but couldn’t explain the overwhelming amount of emotion that came over me. That was over ten years ago. Last year I came back, now religious, and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to come here and daven on behalf of my friends and family.

The holiest place on Earth. The only remaining wall left standing after the Roman destruction of the second temple built by Herod. It has become the beacon for Judaism for the last 2000 years. Jews as well as all monothiests come here to beseech thier creator. One day soon it will be rebuilt to its proper grandeur

The Kotel is pure holiness — a spiritual place kept beautifully, with water, clean bathrooms, and everything maintained just as such a makom kadosh deserves.

A quite and serene oasis tucked inside the city. A remarkable place. Don't visit with a rush, properly take in the place. The staff seemed very nice, very authentic. This place was the last place we visited in Jerusalem, and it was very very special. I'm glad it we left it last, and I'm glad I was a part of a very small group (of five), and it was pretty quiet the time we visited the place (Sunday morning). Oh, and in case you're wondering. The tomb was empty.

Although there is no absolute certainty that this was, in fact, the tomb where Jesus was laid and from which he rose, its internal structure is exactly the same as that described in Holy Scripture. The place is wonderfully well maintained. When in Jerusalem, a visit to this place is a must. Beautiful and exciting!

It's been 35 years since my first visit. The garden is absolutely beautiful, peaceful and fully accessible. I also loved meeting Thomas and Bella the resident cats!

Highly qualified guides do a great job of presenting the evidence that this is the actual site of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The grounds are beautifully maintained and there are multiple sites for group meetings for lectures. Group admissions are regulated so that the grounds don’t become crowded. You can enter and view the Garden Tomb.

Beautiful and meaningful place. Entrance free. After exiting garden on the right side about 30 meters from exit doors is small caffe. To be honest - up to date best coffee in Israel.

For non Catholic Christians (I'm Catholic) they believe Christ was crucified and hurried here. I've been to both and I don't care both are plausible and actually very close to each other. So I have no problem with either speculation. I love them both. As an adult I can say I wept like I never thought I could.

Strangely serene place. Beautiful garden, very carefully tended. The question about this perhaps being Christ's tomb really hurts home when you see the place: proximity to major road to Damascus gate, skull formation in Rock, wine press, and tomb in quarry. Quite worth the visit. Free!

Fntastic experience. I strongly recoment going from the bottom to the top using, not the road, but the stairs. It will give you the opportunity to visit the valley of the kings. At the bottom of the valley, and then to duscover amzing views of old Jeruslem, the wall, the valley, and the miriad of tumbs, step by step. Better if you start your visit at 15:30 or 16:00 so that you can appreciate the sunset from the top.

Such an amazing spot to visit. The views over Jerusalem from the top are incredible. The hike up is steep and takes some time, but is definitely worth it. The views are especially amazing during sunset.

The Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem’s Old City, offers one of the most iconic views of the city. From its slopes, you can see the ancient walls, the Dome of the Rock, and the full sweep of Jerusalem’s layered past. Beyond the view, the Mount is rich in history and culture. It’s been a burial site for over 3,000 years and holds deep significance in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Landmarks like the ancient Jewish cemetery, the Garden of Gethsemane, and several historic churches reflect the area’s central role in the story of Jerusalem. Even for non-religious visitors, walking among the olive trees and centuries-old paths is a powerful experience. The mix of quiet, history, and panoramic beauty makes it one of the city’s most memorable spots. ***Visit early or late in the day for softer light and fewer crowds.

From here you can oversee the entire city of Jerusalem. It's a beautiful spot to be. This view is just incredible and to see the historic places from above is really special. You won't regret it to come to this Place. It has a lot to offer.

The best spot to see the old Jerusalem. The sunset view is amazing. The old jerusalem Panorama is breathtaking. It's a must place to visit. The Church of Ascension is also located here.

This is where you get the iconic photo of old city Jerusalem. It is in walking distance from old city, just exit from lion gate and walk up the hill. Taxi will cost you about 10 usd but since it is about a half an hour walk I recommend walking. There is also a viewing area specifically for taking the photos

Amazing place to see the Old City from a high point of view. It is really wonderful to see the sunset as the lights start to come on, something which I could call magical. Getting here can be a bit confusing and tiring in the summer, but it's completely worth it.

Recommended to visit on holidays. They have great activities for children and the whole family. It's a big place so it's not crowded. The staff is very nice and happy to help.

Good place for family outdoor activities. There are picnic areas, tables, toilets and sinks, parking and shop. The park looks abandoned and not well-groomed, there is a lot of rubbish, half of the exhibits are broken, the asphalt is in poor condition. Beautiful place and nature to come for a walk, you can meet different birds and rodents, but the entrance fee is too high for this park.

Especially in the spring! If you have kids you can let them let run wild. Don't miss the flower mill. It is amazing how they worked with simple mechanic. Flower, birds, archeology, path for strollers...in a lovely landscape. Lot to learn how things were done in biblical time. Don't do it in the heat of the day!

Ridiculous customer service that left me a day before a confirmed reservation with the new information that not only was what I had confirmed to do impossible but the possible things didn't exist on the date I'd confirmed. Don't trust anything you book with them until you get throught to the managerial level.

Paradise for (young) children, second Time here, avoid Time 14:00 to enter the park (or you will wait a lot). A numerous staff will guide you to parking. The visit around the Lake, contains this year stands on different Alyah, ערבית המינים, and others themes. The most famous is the succoth kosher/not kosher like succah on top of another one or succah than 20 ama.

Very beautiful national park. We have been to Shabbat dedicated walk with some songs and legends and a story about ancient bread making process with the ancient instruments. It was magic and even small children really enjoyed it! Our guide Boaz was very warm and artistic with a good approach to children.

Gorgeous park, great for families and people of all ages. Light nature walks abound. Learn about Israel's history through the biblical species that were planted at Neot Kedumim, from almond trees to hyssop. See how wine and olives were pressed in ancient days, and marvel at the depth of the cisterns and wells. Plan a trip in spring for the best of this pastoral haven, the greenest, most inspiring experience.

Really cool fair to take part in. The fair only takes place twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays there is all different types of art. Judaic art, Israeli art and contemporary art as well. It is a must see if you are in Tel Aviv!

Amazing art marked! There are so much amazing art for sale. Many artists are working while sitting there so you can see how they make their beautiful works. It's such an uplifting and fun place to visit. Even when it's buzy it still feels calm and relaxing to walk there and look and buy artwork from different artists. I highly recomend it🙂

This is the spot, friends. Looking for unique, high-quality art, craft, and jewelry to give yourself, your mom, your friends, your dog, there’s something for everyone and it’s all super high quality of creation. Don’t miss out.

I always love coming here to buy souvenirs and gifts when I visit Israel. The vendors sell a wide range of unique handmade crafts; from jewelry and handbags to judaica, glassware and soaps. I highly recommend visiting this area and taking your time exploring the numerous unique pieces and abundant local talent.

Amazing! The artist market deserves 10 stars and I fell in love with it! I highly recommend Hila's soaps. They are 100% natural, vegan and handmade. Especially the dead sea mud soap is a unique souvenir/gift made in Israel :-D

Great quality gifts and items to purchase. Some stands take credit card. Only open 2 days a week.

So fun to walk around and see all the artists display their work. I bought way too much stuff

The hustle and bustle of Carmel Street itself is not to be missed. An authentic “market”. Fruit, vegetables, breads, colorful, souvenirs. Hustling and bustling place

So I had some time to kill in the morning before my flight home so I joined friends for a walk through this area and had a great time seeing all the stands from candy to house hold items. You can do all your shopping here. The sights, sounds and smell of bread and cooking is wonderful.

A market is marked all over the world. Fresh on the spot juice from a variety of fruits. Market with sellers trying to get you to pay overprice for copy products like Nike, puma, Hugo Boss etc. Lots of cheap souvenirs from Israel. Some sellers can be very invasive Most prices can be dropped with a little bit of bargaining, Most shops sell the same at all different prices. Plenty of Mediterranean food which is delicious.

A very lively loud and very crowded market where one can find nearly anything, esp, food, spices, clothes, leather goods (incl. well made fake luxury brands). Fresh meat and fish are sold too, sometimes connected to a small eatery (seated or standing). Eateries are very crowded, loud and ventilators are blowing you away or provide fresh air (depending on how one can appreciate such kind of air blowing). If one appreciates a little less noise and crowd I can advise to take a side street and find a cosy place to eat or drink.

Carmel Market, one of the most colorful and exciting places in Tel Aviv. Not only fruits, vegetables and meats, but also clothes, children's clothes, shoes, glasses, accessories, toys etc.. Full of small restaurants, food stalls, everything is bustling, colorful and fun. Do not miss a visit to it. 

A must see in Tel Aviv. The atmosphere is amazing and it nearly gives you a time traveler experience. You will find authentic stuff but as well some usual.. stuff. The food stand will let have a bite of everything. But no words can describe the experience, just go there!!!

Different great 👍🏻 sellers who wants to sell you something but still professional. Some of them not really. Definitely if you are a girl, guys would like to speak with you. Don’t hesitate to try everything and if you like you buy. To negotiate is Normal. Also kids negotiate

Promenade is about 5 km long, stretching from the old city Jaffa to the south. You can walk down the beach or ride bike close by still overlooking the sea. Restaurants and shops nearby. Wonderful sandy beaches. Sunset is absolutely amazing here. Truly beautiful at day and night.

Bustling with people, beautiful view of the sea, warm sea water, Nice walkway, silky sand, lots of restaurants, lush green garden, play area this long beach has everything. This place is perfect for walk, run, sit, play and everything else. It stretches for about 6 km from Tel Aviv port to Jaffa.

Tel Aviv promenade or the ‘tayelet’ (in Hebrew) extends from Tel Aviv port in the north to Jaffa port in the south (approx. 5 km). As you walk it there are a number of beautiful sandy beaches and parks on one side and luxury hotels and restaurants on the other. The promenade is safe to walk at night or during the day. You can also rent an electric scooter as there is a dedicated scooter/bike path along its length.

The beach along Tel Aviv has a wonderful variety of activities and restaurants to enjoy. One of my favorite places to walk at sunrise.

Great city/ocean view. Don't miss the sunset. Restaurants, bars are good. Pretty expensive, and locals aren't so friendly.

Cool normal bay area, get a Lime scooter to pass through it quickly and enjoy the wind, some bars, some gym equipment and overall a nice plade

Such great vibes to walk there many days there are Street performance

I love this place. The building itself is original and the atmosphere is welcoming. I come at least once a month to see the new temporary exhibitions and to participate a guided tours. There is a caffeteria and restaurant on site. All the time there are activities for the families and kids.

Nice building with friendly staff. But the exhibits .. some are closed with no notice, I can understand a movie projection as art... but there were 5 exhibits of just movie. I didnt want to see youtube. The display are all over the place with no plan to see all and get back to the entry(and a lot stairs)

Normally I am not very affine to arts but this museum caught me. Due to the hot weather we were looking for a place to go. We had our children (age of 8 and 10) with us and we really had fun. It's amazing what children are able to see in paintings. I was really impressed by the artists which are shown there: Renoir, Monet, Klimt, Picasso.... But also the contemporary part was great. I can really recommend it (also with children).

A modern museum with well-organized collections and impressive architecture. Temporary exhibitions are carefully curated and often provide original perspectives.

Great museum of Modern Art in Tel Aviv. Spacious with a lot of temporary installations as well, impressionism, pop-art, a garden with sculptures and a lot more. We spent 75ILS for an adult and a senior

One of the highlights of my visit was the stunning collection of Israeli art, which provides a unique perspective on the country's rich cultural heritage and history. The museum's collection includes works by renowned Israeli artists such as Reuven Rubin, Nahum Gutman, and Yigal Tumarkin, among others. These artworks offer a fascinating insight into the Israeli art scene and its evolution over the years. The museum's architecture is also noteworthy, with its modern and sleek design that seamlessly blends with the surrounding urban landscape.

Highly recommend! Had the best time with my 5 yo daughter. She mostly enjoyed the Helena Rubinstein’s Miniature Rooms, the birds and the NFT exhibitions. The museum is very well maintained, clean and not crowded. Kids under 18 get a free ticket. Personally I prefer to get the tickets online, but there was no line waiting to buy tickets in the museum itself when we got there. The museum is closed on Sundays. Opens at 10 am each other day of the week. Check the website about the closing hours which change every day. And of course opening hours change on holidays.

Overpriced, overcrowded on shore mall. After 20:00 one can find parking at flat price 30NIS. Until 5:00. It's really worth it, because nearby parking lots expensive as hell. Fighting for spot can be long-time waiting and not quite politing. Be advised. Both on entrance and exit line of desperately seeking drivers.

I mostly visit for running on weekends but it’s a wonderful place for shopping, eating or having a good time with family and friends. A lot of parking and the weekend market is highly recommended

Tel Aviv Port is a vibrant and lively area with a mix of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. It is a great place to wander around, people-watch, and enjoy the sea breeze. There are also several boat tours available that offer a unique perspective of the city. Here are some of the things you can do at Tel Aviv Port: 1. Visit the Jaffa flea market 2. Take a boat tour of the city 3. Go shopping in the boutiques and shops 4. Enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants 5. Relax on the beach 6. Visit the marina See a concert or performance at the Port Park Overall, Tel Aviv Port is a great place to spend a day or evening exploring. It is a lively and vibrant area with something for everyone. Here are some pros and cons of Tel Aviv Port: Pros: 1. Vibrant and lively atmosphere 2. Mix of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions 3. Great place to people-watch 4. Beautiful views of the sea 5. Several boat tours available Cons: 1. Can be crowded, especially on weekends 2. Some of the restaurants can be expensive 3. Not as much history as other parts of Tel Aviv Overall, I would recommend Tel Aviv Port to anyone looking for a fun and lively place to spend a day or evening in Tel Aviv.

Magnificent place with beautiful view of the beach, waves, sunset etc. Lots of restaurants and eateries for spending quality time.

Nice large waterfront area with "bumps" that are fun to bike/scoot around, a carousel, smooth rocks for playing around or sitting on. There is a kid's sandpit but it also seems to be used as a dog's bathroom. Great view of the sea. There's a very large kid's playground and an exercise area and restrooms.

Very nice place to hang out with the family. A lot of places to eat, there are playgrounds for the kids, many ice cream places and other food. The promenade is great and allows uninterrupted view of the sea. There is also a breakwater that can be traveled for better view. There are 2 playgrounds- for toddlers and bigger kids and another place with fountains. The only issues are lack of shade and parking.

There are restaurants, bars, shops and activities for the children. Ideal place to chill. Unfortunatelly no public toilets.

I turned up unannounced and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I was given a brief tour followed by a sample of their delicious beer. The brewery is surprisingly small but the effort and hard work they put into the product is impressive. Go visit (I visited alone and caught the shared yellow minibus from Ramalleh), buy a beer and sit outside in the sun enjoying the Palestinian countryside. You will not regret it.

This is should be a must see on your trip. You can get to the brewery by catching a taxi or shared taxi from Ramallah city centre. I was in awe of this brewery, beers that challenge the UK scene and a very hospitable staff. I felt very welcomed and glad we got to hear their story. I'll 100% will be back and will also have to add their Oktoberfest festival to my bucketlist now!

I cannot recommend a visit enough! The beer is very, very good and can absolutely compete with the german standard. They managed to brew completely different beer styles and they do them all well! When I visited we were welcomed with their wheat beer and given a short tour thru the production facilities, which ended in a longer conversation with one of the owners. Their story is fascinating and a great example of the diversity that makes palestine. My personal Highlight of a great trip and the bottle holds a special place in the collection.

A small fine brewery. Brews a top beer Is brewed according to the German Reinheitsgebot. Hops from Bavaria, water from the area and malt from Israel. Very good tour by the owner. The Taybeh Gold and the Brewmaster Zaatar accompanied us on our trip. Really TOP.

Had a delightful tour here. Friendly people and great beer, what more does one need.

Amazing Place in an amazing village- you feel you are somewhere else. Very friendly welcoming. Their craft beers are wonderful, tasty... They are very generous and prices are amazing when you buy a Cartoon of 12 bottles. Very recommended to have a visit. Very international atmosphere. Enjoy

Amazing place, amazing beer brewery and above all amazing owner and family

It's kind of amazing for us to visit an ancient site, which could be dated back to thousands of year. All sites are well-documented in old testament!

Haven’t been here personally. I just wanted to add some History. These were the lands of Joshua, from the Bible. Joshua’s Inheritance, from the Lord. Near Mount Ephraim, Timnath-serah. And near Joshua’s place of burial. 🪦 🙏🏽 It would be so amazing to walk these lands and see them. Joshua, 19:49-51.

Great archaeological dig that is going on. It’s amazing that about 40 years ago, there was nothing there until a group of nine families set out with the same dream to find the place of Shiloh. Now it is a great place and they have a great vineyard in the area. Wine you can get from nowhere else in the world.

Shiloh is a great place to visit, I don’t know if it was just me but you could feel the presence of the tabernacle! In the Biblical heartland of Samaria Shiloh offers a movie experience to discover the tabernacle and history surrounding this area, with the tabernacle said to be here for 369 years.

Impressive site and well kept. Nice gift shop with snacks, hologram helps people understand the history of Shilo, as does the video farther into the site. Places are well described on signs. Always a pleasure to visit!

Tel Shilo is a must go to understand the reason why the Jews are commanded to celebrate the feasts. There is so much to see and understand and they are constantly upgrading themselves from many years ago when I last visit them. I especially love the media presentation of Shiloh. As they said a picture speaks a thousand words. I finally understood why the Jews do the things they do religiously.

Such an profoundly moving visit to the 3,500-year-old biblical site in the ancient city of Mishkan Shilo. Enjoyed the opportunity to view the Chronicles of Shiloh in the Seers tower during our visit to the area of the Prophet Samuel and biblical heros Hannah, Elkanah and others. To be able to make Aliyah once to the site if of the Mishkan HaKodesh like our forefathers did three times a year, when they made a pilgrimage for the three high holy days before the Mishkan was moved to Mount Moriah in Jerusalem (The Temple mount). Feel extremly blessed being able to access the area of Israel. While it was wet an rainy day it was a truly memorable experience and a moving one.

Quiet no easy to get to in the south end of Netanya! You do not hear the lifeguard yelling all the time which is a good thing. Fairly clean area and lots of parking!

We had such a nice time! The life guards were great! Lots of chairs and tables. Clean beach and great water!

A very nice and wide sandy beach, the parking is only a short walk from the beach. Mostly clean with all typical facilities, toilets, shower, restaurant, chairs and parasol rentals. Surf club with surfboards to rent and surf lessons.

Long beach, nice, but not the best in Netanya

One of the best in Israel. Restaurant is closed for renovation until July but good food served. The sand is fine. Expect waves and have fun.

Great beach lovely atmosphere

Good sand with a bit of small rocks on it

Great place. Don't know how much of the original is still there. Great to see that it is still being used for concerts even today. Very impressive structure and would recommend checking it out if you are in the Caesarea National Park.

Very nice and interesting theater. Family friendly place, but you’ll need to keep your children very closed to you. There are no area for children to play, is better for ages and people who likes architecture and history. Historical site that is part of biblical events that helped to expand the message of faith. (Teatro Romano de Cesárea Marítima)

This place was so cool!! So much better than any review we read. Worth the day trip out to see.

An ancient Roman theater, well preserved through all the years. Today the theater in use for concerts of various artists, the acoustics of the ancient Roman builders still in effect.

Impressive theater with history. Try a concert here must be great.

Nice place. Historic place. Informative

Nice concert venue. If you’re going there for a concert, maybe try packing a pillow or something soft to sit on like a jacket because the stone seats can be kind of painful after a while. As a visit during the day, it’s nice but nothing to write home about. But definitely would appreciate cleaner toilets.

Loved it. 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.

We attended a performancr of the כבש ה-16 The site is very organized and copes well with the large crowd. If you are interested in a specific prrformer, it is definitely worthwhile to see it there.

Beautiful place. Very nice atmosphere and view. There are events here sometimes, so that’s fun. The restaurants are very expensive. I’d recommend taking a stroll there. If you only want to go into the grounds without going into the park itself, it’s ₪18 just to get in, so I’d advise going after 16:00 or 17:00, depending on when the park itself closes

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.

A very well maintained historical archeological site allowing you to get a glimpse into the ancient Roman world. There is a lot of parking and the view of the see together with the remains is really special. The place is clean, has toilets, and many places selling food. The downside is that on sunny days large part of the park has no shade and it can be challenging and a bit too hot, eapecially with children

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.

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.

What a wonderful museum! The museum is devoted to the Jews of Spain and Portugal and to the expulsion of these communities in the 15th century. It houses remarkable works by artists from Spain and Portugal, including an amazing collection of coins, works by Salvador Dalí, and impressive sculptures. You can also admire paintings that are spectacular in their detail and quality, many inspired by biblical stories. There is a small but impressive exhibition on the Caesarea area, highlighting different periods in history. Definitely add this museum to your list – you won’t regret it! And the best part: entry is completely free.

Today I visited the Ralli museum. I was very impressed with the masterpieces of Salvador Dalí, medieval artists, sculptures, and statues. Admission is free. There is free parking on the museum grounds. I really enjoyed my time there. I also highly appreciate the work the museum does. 💯💫❤️‍🔥

Amazing and quiet place to take a break, beautiful sculptures , beautiful design of the structure, definitely worth visiting to appreciate the art and the history of the place , so much to see will come here again to make sure to enjoy everything the place has to offer, beautiful place to take pictures for couples , tons of parking and the place is Free so please have respect for the place!

Fantastic Latin exhibition ranging in artists with very strong and vivid paintings and sculptures, some of which are landmarks. I visit every year and now there's an entire new section. Kudos for yhis free culture Rali family!

Sheer delight! Not only do they exhibit art and artifacts from ancient to modern times, but the architectural design within the building is outstanding. In addition, the flow of the museum makes it easy to move from one exhibit to the next. I left feeling so inspired, that I put my own creative spin on some of the photos posted. Enjoy!🫂🎨🖌

an absolutely amazing hidden gem, a must visit for art and history lovers, and on top of that it's completely free thanks to the generousity of founder Harry Recanati and the Harry Recanati Foundation original works by Salvador Dali among others, original archeological findings dating back millennia, wonderful setting and architecture, do yourself a favor and pay this place a visit.

The entrance to both of the museums is free and so is the parking. The two museums are located in beautiful, impressive structures. Ralli 1 exhibits Latin American art featuring many of Salvador Dali's sculptures. Ralli 2 has a wonderful exterior plaza full of white sculptures. Inside, the main exhibition contains European art with the bible as a theme.

Tel Megiddo National Park is a UNESCO Heritage site since 2005, offering a glimpse into ancient history dating back 3,5-4 millennia, as well as the prophetic future of the final battle of the Book of Revelation. It's a wheelchair accessible site except for the water system tunnel.

The perfect place to visit. UNESCO world heritage site, views are amazing, unbelievable water tunnel, the place with history. For me among the whole Israel this place was one of the best. And there are not so many tourists as in the other places in Israel

Very interesting. The listening pieces added a lot. The water works steps a little terrifying. The shop is awesome. The staff were very helpful and nice. I recommend visiting when it's not 35 degrees Celsius though. Have fun.

Very interesting park! During the travel, you can listen to historical facts (just use qr code near exponents). If you like a history, I recommend visiting other Biblical Tells - Hazor and Beer Sheva.

Fascinating and well kept archaeological site. It was bigger than I expected and plenty of signs explaining the various sections, levels and buildings. Also auditory explanations available if you have ear buds (if not, you can buy them at the shop). Great views of the surrounding area from the look out points. The last section is the tunnel down to the spring which supplied water to the inhabitants. Around 100 stairs down and 70 up, worth the effort if you can but can be skipped. The shop is one of the best stocked I've seen at such sites and the small museum next to it is an absolute must.

Twenty-one layers of history, very good , clear English instructions and explanations showing directions when walking around the site. The underground cistern dug out of the bedrock and then the view over the valley where many battles had taken place over the years makes this site a must see when travelling around Israel.

Tel Megiddo is a great place. If you struggle with mobility. It’s probably too strenuous especially if you do the hike down into the cistern. It is an impressive archeological ruin and really well preserved. The video they show at the visitor center is well done and engaging. The cistern is a must see attraction if you can handle over 150 stairs down and up.

A detention center for illegal Jewish immigrants, known as “ma’apilim”. Before and during World War II, thousands of Jewish people were fleeing their homes trying to escape persecution and concentration camps, seeking refuge in Palestine from 1934 to 1948 (which is now the State of Israel). The land was under British Mandate and officials let very few Jewish people into the country legally. Those who did not have a valid permit to be in the country were detained and placed in camps like the one in Atlit. We had a really good guide bringing us around the place. Getting to know the history of Israel deeper 😊

Very important site to visit. people must know the story behind the immigration of Jews to the land of Israel. and how much they wanted to come back home .

That space was great, and you can learn so many things about the history of Israel.

A very important heritage site, Tells the story of the calendestine aliya to Israel. The place is super interesting!! A must visit!

Such an emotional place and I have learned alot of what have happened during the past I recommend coming and learning in this place of really stories that have happened

Very worthwhile visit. Having visited many concentration camps in Europe, I found it absolutely chilling to see the behind-barbed-wire conditions in which "illegal" immigrant refugees were kept in 1947-8 by the British, in pre-independence Mandatory Palestine. The story of the camp, and the broader story of the post-war wave of immigration before the declaration of independence, is told very well. A skillful combination of imaginative and effective executed dioramas, film and reconstructions /refurbishment of an immigrant ship, an aircraft, barracks and other artefacts, creates an engaging, immersive narrative experience. Guided tours, taking between one and two hours, add information and help link these facilities. While you are free to explore the camp independently, and there are a number of explanation points that play pre-recorded audio information in a few languages, it's very worthwhile to take the guided tour. Tours are available in English and in Hebrew. Our guide was a young student who knew his subject pretty well, although his knowledge and understanding of the broader background of pre-war Germany, the Holocaust and related subjects was rather shallower. Unfortunately, he lacked the maturity and experience to effectively read his audience, so the explanations were too long-winded for most of our group of about 18 people, which included several children, and the tour was too long as a result. My only other quibbles are that the acting, casting and make-up in the films, and the English voice-over dialogue, are pretty wooden and unconvincing (most refugees from DP camps in Europe looked neither that beautiful nor that well-fed!), though good use is made of interleaved authentic newsreel footage. Also, the narrative message is unashamedly, in-your-face gung-ho secular labour Zionist propaganda, and completely omits any mention of contested or controversial aspects of the story, such as how religious child refugees were treated. Notwithstanding that, the camp and for provide a valuable insight into this largely unknown story of pre -independence refugee immigration. The camp has been developed really well in recently years, and this process is continuing, with the addition of major new exhibits: the aircraft was undergoing refitting on our visit. Considerable effort has been made to make complex exhibits like the shop fully disabled accessible. But the camp needs better facilities for visitors. It's quite a large area and it can be extremely hot, so there needs to be more shaded spots where visitors can stand and soak up the feel of the place, look around, and refill water bottles. Better signposting around the site is needed, and so is a simple one-page map handout, which could show a recommended route and locations of e.g. toilets and drinking water points (which there aren't enough of).

A important part of Israeli history presented in a engaging and realistic way. A combination of perseverance and hope, with a generally happy ending (freedom). Multimedia good way to keep kids interested and make it relevant.

Took a 4-year old on a tour, discovering statues, flowers, houses. A charming place for people of all ages, with craftsman and artists, restaurants, and a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by nature.

This place is picturesque and peaceful, but it’s important to know that it stands on the land of the former Palestinian village of ʿAyn Hawd, which was depopulated in 1948. The name was later changed to “Ein Hod.” While the art and atmosphere are lovely, the transformation of a once-inhabited village into an artist colony without acknowledging its original people feels like an erasure of history. Places like this should honor the truth and memory of those who lived here before.

A great place to visit, if you are interested in street art and small villages. The place was almost empty and closed when we visited but I still love the beauty of it. I am sure that if you plan your visit and come on a Saturday you will find many interesting places to see.

Not great, not terrible. Pretty fine place, but if you have been to anything like this anywhere in Europe it will not impress you

Beautiful place to have a walk in the streets and explore the local art

Wonderful place, worth visiting many-many times 💚

Amazing spot. Much recommend for a fun stroll among various art pieces 😍

Beautiful small monastery with almost 360 viewpoint, very few steps to go up from the parking, surrounded by an amazing garden that the monks take care of. Entry fee is 5₪. Also have a viewpoint outside the monastery. Great place to visit.

Wonderful place to visit. It marks the site where Elijah met the prophets of Baal and showed the people of Israel that the LORD was the true God, not Baal. It was here where the LORD sent fire from heaven to consume the sacrifice Elijah had prepared. There is a monastery at the top of Mt Carmel with a beautiful chapel with pictures highlighting the ministry of Elijah the prophet of Yahweh. Also a beautiful view of the valley below.

Super clean, very well maintained, with a beautiful garden. With gorgeous views of the surrounding valleys, hiils and mountains. Entrance fee in cash ONLY (NIS 5)

Awesome place to visit. You should stop by if nothing else just to take in the glorious view from the top! I would highly recommend stopping by here while visiting Israel. You will not regret it one bit.

Great views from the top, and the statue of Elijah is a must-see. The gardens around the plaza are also very well-tended, and have definitely been updated since the last time I was here in 2010. The church is great and the story here is one of my favorites from the Old Testament. Highly recommend coming here.

Mount Carmel. This is where the prophet Elijah challenged the prophets of the demon god Baal to a showdown Each side set up an altar with wood and a sacrificed bull but had to call upon their god to light the fire. The baal prophets went first, danced, prayed, cut themselves but nothing happened Elijah took his turn, soaked everything with water then called upon Jehovah. Fire came down from heaven immediately and consumed the sacrifice, the wood and the altar. This prompted the populace to declare that Jehovah is the one true God and they slew the 450 prophets of Baal This whole event really upset King Ahab and his wife Jezebel The full story is in the Bible 1 Kings 18:21 ++ The view is fabulous, overlooking the Plains of Megiddo where Revelation 16 says the final battle of Armageddon week be fought

Amazing church with amazing views. Must see if in Israel. We were with a large group and wwre still able to see everything.
