One of the most unique places you'll visit in Israel. There are many beautiful along the lake and campsites.

Sea of Galilee aka Lake Tiberias. Is the famous lake where JESUS walked on it and also calmed the storm. It’s also the lowest fresh water lake on earth. Peaceful lake indeed and breeze was so cool.

An amazing place to see with my own eyes. I read all about this place and Jesus' ministry here. I also enjoyed sailing on the Sea of Galilee. Luckily, it was a calm and beautiful day.

The Sea of Galilee is one of my favorite spots in Israel. This is a spot where you really feel the presence of Jesus.

This is one of my best experiences in Israel, you will be enthuse and captivated if you ever visit this area, especially if you’re of the Christian faith. Take a tour one day and go experience a little of history.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

Beautiful, well maintained park with plenty to see and do inside. There is a small funfair for children, a zip line, waterfall, plenty of walks and points of collection for the famous borjomi water. Recommend visiting here if you are in the town, entrance fee is a couple of GEL per person.

A very active park, wich is nice. Combins nature- If you go further to the end of the new park- approximately one hour walk their are the sulfur pool!

Borjomi Central Park is a beautiful and peaceful place that truly captures the charm of this historic spa town. The park is clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by stunning nature. You can enjoy a relaxing walk along the river, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and even try the famous Borjomi mineral water straight from the spring. There are many attractions for both adults and children, including a small amusement area, rope park, and even a cable car that offers lovely views of the surrounding forest. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming — perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers looking to unwind. In autumn, the colors of the trees are especially magical. It’s one of those places where you feel connected to nature and history at the same time. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Georgia!

Nice nature place to check, it's probably the highlight of Borjomi, There plenty of views you also can drink the Borjomi original water for free or like people do take huge bottles with you to take away. Be careful from some of the restaurants on the way to the park they seem good but they are overpriced and the food is disgusting.

This is a tourist park that charges a 5-lari entrance fee. However, the park is still under construction and currently offers very little apart from a pleasant view of a small waterfall. There is a children’s amusement area, but it too is unfinished. The road leading to the sulfur pools is muddy and unpaved, making it difficult to walk. Additionally, access to the pools — located about 3 km from the park, roughly a 45-minute walk — costs an extra 15 lari.

A great place at any time of the year, they prepare delicious Georgian dishes. I recommend stopping here. Thank you, I am satisfied.👍💯❤️

Beautiful hike from the main entrance to the pools. Park is a bit abandoned once you pass first few meters but worth the visit

Relatively enjoyable experience, it takes about an hour to complete the guided tour through the cave. The tour I was on spoke the information In Georgian, English and then Russian which I feel was too much. It would be better to split into language groups which would make the groups more manageable…there must have been 60 people on the one I was on. The cave itself is very beautiful though and the pathways are well kept. Well worth visiting, just go in the morning and on a weekday when it’s quieter!

Well-presented cave with good atmosphere Prometheus Cave is worth the visit if you're in Kutaisi. The cave itself is impressive, but what really elevates it is how they've set it up. Each hall has its own music and lighting that changes as you move through. It's not overdone—actually adds to the experience rather than feeling gimmicky. Made viewing each section more engaging. The formations are solid, well-lit so you can actually see the details. Walkways are in good condition, easy to navigate. At the end, there's an optional boat ride out of the cave for an additional 20 Lari. I took it and enjoyed it—nice way to finish the tour rather than just walking back out. Tour moves at a reasonable pace. Not rushed, but doesn't drag either. Good value for what you get. Would recommend.

Prometheus Cave is a stunning natural site. The walk through the cave takes you past incredible rock formations, all beautifully lit and well-maintained. The inside is cool and refreshing, especially in the summer. If you get cold easily, a light jacket is a good idea. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes — the walk is long but enjoyable. At the end of the cave, there’s a short boat ride that adds a fun touch, although it doesn’t last more than a few minutes. After exiting, you’ll find a small supermarket for refreshments, and a shuttle bus takes you back to the main entrance. There, you can enjoy traditional food or shop for small souvenirs. As for the guided tour, it felt a bit rushed. We didn’t get much time to pause for photos unless we were okay falling behind. The guide spoke English, but it was hard to follow due to the fast pace and overlapping noise from other groups. A slower delivery or separate tours by language would improve the experience and help everyone enjoy the cave more fully. We used the Maxim app for transportation — it was cheaper and quicker than Bolt in this area. Overall, it’s a must-visit in the Kutaisi region, but the tour style could be improved.

The Prometheus Caves in Georgia are a breathtaking natural wonder that invite visitors into a world sculpted by time. Located near Kutaisi, these limestone caves are filled with stunning stalactites, stalagmites, underground rivers, and shimmering lakes that create an almost otherworldly atmosphere. Colorful lighting carefully illuminates the pathways, highlighting the intricate rock formations and amplifying their natural beauty without diminishing their authenticity. The guided tours offer fascinating insights into the cave’s geology and its discovery, making the experience both educational and awe-inspiring. For those seeking a touch of adventure, the underground boat ride through the final stretch of the cave adds a magical sense of exploration. The Prometheus Caves remind every visitor of nature’s artistry and the quiet grandeur hidden beneath the earth’s surface.

This place could have been incredible, but we expected a bit more. The cave itself is breathtaking, yet the guide rushed through it, played the same music on repeat while watching videos on her phone (???), and gave minimal commentary that only repeated the information boards. The boat ride lasted maybe two minutes and was so fast you barely had time to take in the cave or the light installations. With some investment in the surrounding facilities and proper training for guides, this site could easily attract large numbers of tourists because it is worth it.

The caves are a natural wonder. The different formations underground are mesmerizing and it's a 1.4km walk on a cemented track once underground. The track is a bit wet so be sure to wear proper comfortable shoes that are tough to get wet. There are no exists midway and the tour takes about an bit over an hour to complete. There are 6 main halls with each having its own significance.

Guided tour through cave at a very nice pace. Optional boat ride at end must be paid in advance. At end of cave a small bus takes you back to the parking lot

During our stay in Jerevan, we visited this place several times, and we really liked it. As a Colombian, it was a surprise to find three Fernando Botero sculptures on the lower floor, which nourished my soul. We really enjoyed Fromm the ground floor, each level rising to the obelisk at the top of this monument. We really enjoyed climbing the more than 700 steps to get there. I would definitely return. It would be nice to find the intermediate section, which is under construction, finished upon returning. It also has escalators for people who can't walk up. very nice view of Mount Ararat from here.

Really a must go when u visit Yerevan, great design in terms of sculpture and architecture. Also incomparable view over the city. If you don’t want to climb all the stairs you can take the lift on the left then walk your way down each level, but even to me who absolutely don’t have enough exercise the stairs don’t seem too much. Highly recommend to visit during sunrise or sunset, it’s an eye treat to see how lighting (or the absence of it) affects how the cascade looks. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and there weren’t too many ppl Free entry with additional bonus of a few stray dogs taking walks and enjoying sunset

The Cascade Complex is absolutely one of the must-see places in Yerevan. The design is impressive — a massive stairway that blends architecture, art, and open space in a way that makes the whole area feel alive. Every level has sculptures, fountains, or unique installations, so the climb never gets boring. The view from the top is spectacular, especially during sunset, when the city lights start to appear and you can see all the way toward Mount Ararat on a clear day. It’s also one of the safest and cleanest public areas in Yerevan, making it perfect for photos, a relaxing walk, or just sitting and enjoying the vibe. The Cafesjian Center for the Arts inside the complex is a great bonus — modern, well-curated, and surprisingly peaceful despite how busy the outside area can be. The whole place feels like a mix of culture, urban energy, and art. Whether you come during the day or at night, the Cascade is a beautiful experience and one of the best places to truly feel the spirit of Yerevan. Highly recommended!

It looks impressive from afar and it is the smae when you get near it. Did not had the lick to have clear skies for seeing Ararat (from what we've heard, there's rarely any chance in August for this) but the whole experience was nice. The area is full with caffees and restaurants anyway (in the plaza before climbing) and it is really beautiful there - including the area of the quirky statues 😉. Really nice area to visit and hang out at any point of the day. A visit to the art's centre is recommended as well.

Very beautiful part of the city, especially on sunny days. There is a nice little park with flowers and art, a beautiful and peaceful vibe, a lot of couples and friendly people. You should definitely visit it. Take the escalator up and walk the stairs down. From there, take a walk into the beautiful city center.

Breath taking! Beautiful! Elegant! Timeless. The fountains on the bottom around 30 feet deep, you'd never know unless you went down the steps! Incredible! Walk all the steps up, count how many! Each level has different design fountains! There are even some hidden steps too, keep your eyes out and take them :) Wonderful view of Mount Ararat, Yerevan, during the day. Evening time, beautiful sunset! There is an escalator that takes you all the way up if you don't want to walk all the steps. Don't step on the grass, they don't like it.

Lovely place to watch the sunset. Take the escalators up - it’s free and takes a bit of time if you’re spending time with the artwork. Took the stairs down - enjoyed the people watching and do it at your own pace.

Awesome vibes. Weekend was full of fountain musical shows and you won’t get bored because it’s continuous running with different music and light show every time. you keep enjoying the evening and won’t feel to return back.

Beautiful water and light show that goes along with the classical music! What a wonderful surprise! So many hidden water features. Very busy but lots of space, doesn't seem like you're on top of each other. Really enjoyed the environment!

I spent a magical evening at Republic Square in Yerevan, and I couldn’t help coming away with a big smile. By daylight the square is stunningwith its warm pink and yellow tuff‑stone buildings and that sense of history all around. I wandered around, took lots of pictures (perhaps too many), found a café to sit and just watch people stroll by, and felt utterly contentjust being there in that moment. If you’re after an experience that blends architecture, atmosphere, and a little bit of magic, this place really delivers.

Republic Square is a must-visit spot in Yerevan. It’s the main square of the city and full of energy. The architecture is beautiful, especially at night when the buildings are lit up. The musical fountains are a big highlight, fun to watch and perfect for families or couples. There are lots of cafes, museums, and shops around. It’s also a great place to take photos or just relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Yerevan!

Amazing Place To Spend Quality Time With Family & Friends. Mark, Historical, Center Place of Armenia. Must Visit this place who visit Armenia. Water fountain is mixed of opera. Music & Water Amazing.

Republic Square in Yerevan is a place unlike any other. It has a unique atmosphere—warm, lively, and almost magical. Especially during the Christmas season, the entire square transforms into something truly enchanting. The lights, the music, the energy of the people — everything creates a festive feeling you can’t forget. I highly recommend visiting Yerevan during Christmas time and spending an evening at Republic Square. Walk around, feel the atmosphere, and see how the city comes alive. These are the moments that stay with you. Republic Square is one of those places where beauty is felt not only with your eyes but also with your heart.

Watching the fountain show in Yerevan was truly amazing. From the moment it started, the water, lights, and music came together in a way that felt magical. The fountains danced in perfect rhythm with the songs, shooting high into the air and then falling gracefully, all lit up with beautiful colors. It was like watching a live performance, but with water as the main star. What I loved most was how the atmosphere brought people together. Families, couples, and tourists all gathered around the square, smiling and enjoying the show. The music was a mix of classical and modern tunes, which made it even more fun because there was something for everyone. Each song felt like a different story told through the movement of the water and the play of lights. The best part is that it’s completely free, making it one of the most enjoyable and accessible experiences in the city. Sitting there and watching the fountains, with the warm evening air and the lively crowd, felt unforgettable. Overall, the fountain show was a highlight of my trip—beautiful, entertaining, and filled with energy. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Yerevan.

Nice castle, though there were little to no exhibitions. There is a small museum on the castles grounds, but it has separate tickets, so we didn't decide to go in.

Pretty cool castle complex. Lots of space, many different buildings to visit, and great views. Some free public spaces, but buying a ticket is worth it, especially if you have time and enjoy exploring. Although is a bit empty inside in regards to exhibitions, but pretty nice otherwise.

Rabati Castle is absolutely stunning — a mix of history, culture, and architecture all in one place. The complex combines a fortress, mosque, church, and museum, showing the diverse past of Georgia in one view. The stone walls, towers, and courtyards are beautifully preserved, and the views from the top are incredible. It’s one of those places where every corner is worth a photo. If you visit Akhaltsikhe, this is the highlight — especially around sunset when the castle lights up and the atmosphere feels magical. 🏰🌅🇬🇪

Rabati Castle was one of the highlights of our trip, and I would definitely recommend adding it to your itinerary if you’re in the region. What makes it special: • Breathtaking views: The castle sits on a hill with panoramic views of Akhaltsikhe and the surrounding landscape — truly spectacular. • Rich history: With centuries of layered history, from Ottoman to Georgian influences, it’s a fascinating place to explore. The museum, the mosque, the church, and the fortress walls all tell different stories. • Beautiful architecture: The restoration was tastefully done — a blend of medieval, Eastern, and modern elements. It’s a great place to walk around, take photos, and soak in the atmosphere. • Relaxed vibe: There are cute cafés and shaded spots where you can enjoy a coffee, lemonade, or snack while taking in the scenery. Worth planning ahead: We took a Bolt taxi from Borjomi (about a 40-minute drive), but discovered that Bolt doesn’t work there for the return trip. We were lucky to find a cab while walking toward the bus stop, but it could have been stressful — especially since we had another activity planned in the afternoon. There’s a public bus that comes about once an hour, but if you’re on a tight schedule, I recommend pre-arranging your return transportation.

Definitely worth 20 GEL to get the full experience. Beautiful interior views with many steep stairs to navigate. Did not partake of the optional extra audio guide.

Visited this castle as a part of a group tour to Georgia. It's an interesting monument with many architectural buildings located inside. The fountain was my favourite as it was also related to our guide whose grandfather was a part of the mechanical engineering of the fountain ⛲. Overall the place is beautiful for photography but we did not have much time to walk around the fortress walls. There is a restaurant and a hotel on the premises.

Akhaltsikhe (Rabati) Castle is a must-visit destination on your trip to Georgia. The architecture is truly stunning, blending historical charm with a modern touch. We spent around three hours exploring the castle and enjoyed lunch at a nearby restaurant. There’s a small entry fee, but it’s absolutely worth it for the experience and the breathtaking views.

Ani is a very special place and being there was a very intimate experience of history and culture. I'd been to other live museums but this was my favourite. Well worth the trip.

Beautiful ruins, however it could be better looked after. Lot of litter and graffiti, presumably from visitors and the restoration workers. Support beam in one of the churches had fallen down. Considering the €8 entry, the information boards were pretty limited and appeared to minimise the Christian/Armenian heritage. The site is supported by the EU and UNESCO, so you’d expect it to be in better condition. Instead of completing the urgent structural repairs and site maintenance, they have prioritised converting one of the structures into a functional mosque. Still an amazing site and well worth a visit! 🇹🇷

Amazing and extensive ruins with a deep history. The area is fairly large, and worth walking at length, particularly to see the Honents church, citadel, and area along the striking green river canyon that forms the border between Turkey and Armenia. A little bit more signage or maps would be helpful, particularly for a non-Turkish speakers. It was also unclear how the golf carts that take some tourists around work and there was no audio guide in English available. Some parts were under renovation. Still, worth exploring.

Unbelievably beautiful Armenian ruins where few visitors venture. Can see the Armenian border on the other side of the canyon. Truly special place.

It was very interesting. You can get nice views. We went in winter. It was interesting to see how different cultures and time frames left a mark in this area. It must have been quite the metropolis in its time.

​Ani is one of the most incredible places I've ever visited. It's an ancient city with a rich and complex history that you can feel as you walk through the ruins. Often called "the City of 1001 Churches," Ani was a major capital of the Bagratid Armenian kingdom and a key stop on the Silk Road in the 10th and 11th centuries. It was a thriving city with a population of over 100,000 at its peak, and you can see that grandeur in the remains of its impressive churches, mosques, and city walls. ​It's a shame that for many years, stones from the city were sold off, so much of its former glory is gone. But it's great to see that restoration work has started in recent years, and they are working to repair the large structures that are still standing. ​What makes the site so special is not just the history, but the location. Ani is situated on a plateau, and on one side, there's a deep, dramatic canyon formed by the Arpaçay River, which separates Turkey and Armenia. The view is absolutely breathtaking, with the ruined buildings perched right on the edge of the gorge. Walking around and seeing the blend of nature and history is truly a magical experience. ​The stone carvings and architectural details on the remaining buildings are stunning. You can spend hours just looking at the craftsmanship. Despite being in ruins, Ani is a deeply moving and beautiful place that everyone should see. It's a powerful reminder of how civilizations rise and fall, and it's a window into a fascinating period of history.

One of the unique examples of historical ruins found in Anatolia. A place you should see when you come to Turkey. Entry fees are low.

Incredible botanical garden. You could spend an afternoon exploring it. Well worth the time and money. Well kept, clean, and beautiful. Very large. Expect to use the bus service within the park. There is also a fee to enter the park and a separate fee for the bus service within the park. Costs more for foreigners, of course (one of the worst parts of Georgia is the foreigner fee in so many places).

A wonderful place to walk in the lap of nature. Tickets are priced at 20 GEL, which is a little steep. And if you need an electric vehicle inside, you'll have to end up paying even more. Plenty of photo spots along with some great views of the Black Sea. There's also an amazing zipline for those seeking a little adrenaline rush, but again it's a little pricey at 70 GEL. Be prepared to walk a lot, so wear comfortable shoes.

We visited the garden in October. The view is very beautiful and the air is fresh with green and flowers smell. We went by bus 10. It is hard to go through all the garden as it has different elevations which make it difficult. Also, there are electrical cars too.

Amazing park with beautiful sea views♥️ There is an electrical bus that can take you one way through the park with an extra fee of 10 gel, takes like 15 minutes ride Pay attention that most of the park has uphill paths, we are with a baby stroller so it was a bit challenging so we took the bus and then it was nice

It was so beautiful that I enjoyed all of the moments there. I spent 4 hours day. Definitely it’s better to go from morning to. All of the view were breathtaking. The weather was also nice.

A stunningly beautiful botanic garden with collections of plants and trees from all over the world. With views along the coastline, rolling hills covered in lush vegetation and plenty of places to sit and relax in the shade, it's the perfect place to get away from the bustle of the beaches.

Honestly, I’m not a garden person, I usually prefer adventure and thrill over long walks and greenery. Most tour guides in Batumi don’t include the Botanical Garden, but we decided to visit anyway… and I’m glad we did! Yes, there’s a lot of walking (be ready for it!), but once you reach the top, the views are absolutely worth it — stunning landscapes and a gorgeous view of the Black Sea. 🌊🌿 My main reason for visiting, though, was the zipline....and oh my god, it was amazing! Totally thrilling, 70 Lari, and worth every step it takes to get there. You’ll feel like you’re flying over nature. So if you’re into adrenaline or just want some jaw-dropping scenery, this spot is a must. I went there just for the zipline, but ended up appreciating the whole place.

The Argo Cable Car provides a lovely journey, but I highly recommend planning your visit around sunset to get the best experience. If you go during the middle of the daytime, the view from the top is pleasant but not spectacular. However, if you wait until nighttime, you'll only see the beautiful city lights, and you will completely miss out on the gorgeous photo spots at the peak which require daylight. The best time to go is definitely just before sunset. This allows you to catch the golden hour views, take great photos at the top, and then stay long enough to watch the city transition into a sparkling blanket of lights as darkness falls. A quick note on the other two package tickets/add-ons they offer: as an adult, I did not find them worthwhile or special. I recommend sticking to the standard cable car ticket.

Definitely worth visiting! The views are amazing, and the price is very reasonable. Sunset is the peak time, so the lines can get a bit long, but they move quite quickly. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.

The price vs value wasn't there for this cable car compared to others we rode in Georgia, at USD$12.30/pp particularly considering that the view wasn't clear. If the air is really hazy, the view from the top isn't good. The ride is fast and smooth. The bottom operator guy would not let us wait for a car to ride alone (and there was nobody else behind us.) It worked out for us in the end as a hat was left behind in the cable car and one of the other passengers gave it to the top operator guy. When the other people saw us they communicated that it was there. And the hat was very much needed that day! There are clean bathrooms up top, as well as a souvenir shop and a cafe/restaurant and an ice cream stand. We didn't eat up top, so nothing to review on that. The tiny chapel was peaceful, and there was a great breeze just outside the chapel (on the right) by the edge of the trees. Security scolded and stopped multiple tourists sitting on the edge of the circular fountain that looks like a sailboat. There is a swing for photos that was tied (to not move much) that had a net to catch anyone who fell off so they didn't fall down the face of the hill. It was below "ok" in my opinion, and overpriced for the view.

The cable car ride was very different. Instead of hoovering over the trees and mountains, this ride is mostly on the city with great views of the port on one side and the mountain on the other. The weather was overcast during our ride, so we enjoyed a lot. Once you reach the top, there are some restaurants, gaming arcade (tickets to be bought at the ground counter). There was also a stand for Minimelts that the kids enjoyed a lot especially their new kiwi flavor. Overall, it was a great experience.

Though a somewhat pricey activity, the cable car is a fun way to see the city, and the views from the hill are unmatched. On a clear day, you can even see the snow capped peaks of distant mountains, and of course, all of Batumi is visible from up there.

This is a must when in Batumi.! The cable car costs around 32 lari would take you on a 10 minute journey to the top of a mountain where you will have a breathtaking view awaiting you.! I recommend to go just before sunset so you get to see the city at its best. There’s also a museum, restaurant and a live show at the top so you can spend a nice evening here.!

The Argo Cable Car in Batumi, Georgia, is a must-do experience for any visitor. As you ascend, you’re treated to stunning panoramic views of the vibrant cityscape, the serene Black Sea, and the majestic surrounding mountains. The ride is smooth and peaceful, offering a unique perspective of Batumi’s charm from above. At the top, you’ll find a viewing platform perfect for photos, a café to relax in, and even a small chapel. Whether you’re a nature lover, photographer, or just seeking a memorable moment, the Argo Cable Car delivers a truly breathtaking experience.

Very beautiful and peaceful place. Perfect for walking. The boulevard is full of people enjoying their time, playing, walking, biking, etc. Very clean and well maintained, the greenery is beautiful and the playgrounds are nice. The seaside is nice and most of the attractions are within the boulevard or nearby.

This is without a doubt the heart of the city. It's a beautiful and huge wooded park that stretches for 7 kilometers along the Black Sea coast. It is the perfect place to stroll at any time of day, whether for walking, running, or renting a bike. It's clearly a meeting point for locals and tourists, always full of life. The place is very well-maintained, with various modern sculptures, cafes, and fountains. An essential and relaxing walk.

Batumi Boulevard Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the city, stretching along the Black Sea coast. Originally established in 1881, it features palm trees, sculptures, bike paths, cafes, and plenty of spots to relax — making it a favorite among both locals and visitors. Personally, I really enjoy spending time here, especially in the evenings. The musical fountain show adds a special charm and makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable. It's a perfect place for a peaceful walk, watching the sunset, or simply unwinding by the sea.

A beautiful place for long walks or a jog (5km...) along the beachfront or the tree-lined paths alongside. Clean and picturesque with the varied architecture in the background. Really nice.

What a thriving place... Mornings and evenings are so gorgeous. There are cycling track, walking lane and roraing black sea near both. There are multipal food shacks and some good entertainment in the evening. Eveningn is very vibrant here.

The first place I went after checking in to my hostel. 8 kms of beauty. Right near the beach. Very lively. It's a good idea to rent a city bike and take tour around. It's also connected to the 6 may park. There is a little japanese garden in there. Gelato shops, bars, coffee places and the best doggies in the world are all summoned in this park 🫠

A very nice area in Batumi, full of restaurants, bars, beaches and sea cruises

It was a nice place to visit. The staff was so helpful, special thanks to Mustafa Bey in the reception.

The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed. The photos are misleading. I wouldn’t have stayed here if I had seen the room before I paid. I made a mistake not to book another place beforehand and we had to stay here. Don’t get me wrong I am not a fussy person. I stayed in hostels before. I travelled with my backpack for years. As long as the ad is correct and the place is clean I have no problem but this hotel is not a 3 star hotel and it is not worth 600lira. The towels were stained and the shower was not clean. Entire floor stank. The breakfast was not good. The plates were dirty and the butter was left under the sun and melted so I didn’t even try. If you are too desperate and do not want to stay in your car you can go there and spend the night but no way pay 600lira like I did. There are lots of hotels in the area and they are pretty good for a little bit more money.

Mustafa and yunus was very kind and had good service. The hotel gave us great prices. The room was nice and the breakfast was good also. they also let us leave our bags on the day of check out. The toilet was a little broken hopefully they fix it later

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had loved the way how the employees and all staff were helpful and polite I would definitely recommend it to anybody who is looking for an accommodation whilst exploring one of the beautiful cities of Turkey. Also I would like to mention one of the most kindest and helpful staff Mustafa he was amazing and does his job perfectly if you have any queries he will try his best and help you and provide you with useful information about Şanlıurfa as well!

Very helpful staff, super location, place the best in Urfa. Mustafa was like a family🤙

Although a 3 star hotel, it's hard to say it is 3 star. Like poor WiFi connection, room is not really clean when we enter. Need a lot of improvement. Still very near to the our target place balıklı göl

A very nice hotel with an excelent position near the city center. The staff is very kind and helpful. We had a very nice stay here. Congratulations to Mustafa and the whole staff.

A fascinating museum. It's the largest museum of its kind in the world, and it houses some of the most important mosaics in the world. This isn't just any museum, it opens the doors to the ancient world, and in each mosaic, we delve into different histories. As a tourist, I paid 12 euros, but Turks only pay 100 TL. It was a fascinating experience that I highly recommend! It's incredible to see such ancient and well-preserved things up close, visiting this museum is a true journey through time.

The museum is truly remarkable, featuring mosaic artworks from the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. It's a unique experience for anyone who loves history — or simply for those looking to enjoy something different and memorable. The Turkish people are genuinely creative in developing innovative attractions in every town or city, no matter how far it is from Turkey’s center. Wherever you go, you're sure to find historical sites, cultural spots, or entertainment areas that offer delightful experiences. May God bless Turkey🙏

Location: Near the silk road, 10-15 min by car from courthouse. Ticket: 100 ₺ / person for citizen, mandatory to have museum card; 12€/ person for foreigner which is extremely high! Pretty big and amazed with historical information with such archaeological finds.

It is amazing museum lot of excellent pieces to see beautiful mosaics super rich culture and presenting very well nice museum a lot of information.

Impressive museum. Quite expensive to visit but a spectacular collection of mosaics. It could do with more contextual information about the lives, economy etc if those who created them. And also some more detail about the recovery and restoration of the mosaics. But overall very much worth spending time here.

Wow. It’s mind boggling how they created such patterns using mosaic pieces. Truely awe inspiring. Sone of the mosaics are huge. Definitely one of the best museums in Turkey.

Absolutely amazing museum! Must visit and enjoy the beautiful mosaic. The Gipsy girl is so alive…

Very poor maintenance. Monkeys, birds and reptiles are tucked in small enclosed spaces. Monkey house and reptile house are not ventilated and smells horrible. Aquarium was so small but it had some piranhas which was the only interesting thing. The only funny thing i’ve encountered was the fighting bear figures placed under a dinosaur fossil replica lmao. The same installment had some dead animals in formaldehyde solution which were probably never been replaced with new solution. It was a nauseating experience overall. I decided to leave after seeing the neglected bird cage that no one seem to care about, didn’t even went to see other parts. Would not recommend.

This place has alot of potential. Much of the indoor areas if not all are closed to the public. The animals are not properly cared for, especially the avian species. Much of the exotic bird species are exhibiting signs of extreme depression and solitude (feather plucking, picking at the roof, frustrated behavior). It is not healthy to keep so many large social birds in such an enclosed space with a lack of attention. This is extremely unfair to the birds. It appears there is a lack of a proper caretaker for these birds and they desperately need the right love. I hope the park brings this to their attention promptly.

What a wonderful place, its very big that you need more than 4 hours to see everything, their are many kinds of animals with a description of each one on the outside of its cage. If you visited Gaziantep, you should come and visit this place. A great place to bring your kids to. And the entrance price is very low, about 1.5 dollars.

Safe & clean, a good visit for families. One of he biggest zoo in the world with hundreds of animals available to see. Its huge in here so you better free off your whole afternoon or morning. It is super affordable too.

The animal cages are large and the existing nets hinder the vision of some animals, but in general it is a very beautiful place and it is recommended to visit it and it is very interesting for children because of the large and safe space

The best zoo i have visited in my life (i have visited many in Germany and in Spain), very wide variations from well treated animals, good organised and very clean

Various kinds of animals and very clean and green spaces Great place for kids

Very nice museum. It has the biggest Mosaic collection in the world. Plan to spend at least 2.5 to 3 hours. It has a nice cafe to relax inside the museum as you exit. Parking was an issue for us. Besides the amazing mosaics spend some time at th sarcofagus section.

I couldn't imagine the amount of historical and archiological findings in this area. The museum was a trip to the history of the rigion. Amazing collection pf mosaic and marble sculptures. It is a must to see for Hatay visitors. Update: more sections are opened, and more mosaic is in display.

One of the great museums you can ever visit, huge and divers collection. Can't be missed if you in Antakya visting it is a must. However, it needs minimum two hours so make sure you have enough time when you go there.

An excellent museum with displays relating to all historic times. The collection of mosaics are incredible and there are some very well preserved sarcophagus. Well worth a detour to visit, also do not miss the the Hotel museum

One of the very most important museum in Turkey. It represent the life of the caveman and the life of the mythological histories.. There are lots of articles and objects belong to that lifetime and history. Make sure you hear all the history of the items. Dont miss it.. Also dont miss the "live your life" Mosaic..

The museum was moved last year to here. Previous place of this museum was in city centre but not big enough but new place is more bigger but far from city centre. I love the chronological path in the museum first path starts with cage life of humans and ends with modern day. Mosaics are well preserved and mosaics were like photographs. The only disadvantage of this path I couldn't find path milestones as described it was complex for me to understand how designated path goes. I started area 1 and I found myself at area 13 after 30 minutes but I think that was my fault that's why I give 5 star. When you see 480p resolution mosaics you understand why I gave star.

An impressive museum with a variety of exhibits about the area's very old history. I have been to many museums in Europe and this one could easily be in one of its capitals. The finds from the Hittite period are particularly impressive, as is the quality and massiveness of the mosaics from the Roman period. Worth it!

Man oh man this place is absolutely mind blowing. When you walk in you can't imagine how huge it is but then you see it with your own eyes. Simply amazing

The temple of bacchus and surrounding ruins are an absolute wonder of engineering. Make sure to hire a guide because it will make your visit so much more enjoyable and you will learn so much. Photos can’t even begin to do it justice. If you get the chance, definitely visit!

A wonderful UNESCO world heritage site coming within the Baalbek Temple complex. Very well maintained and neat and clean. Check out the carving over the stone ceilings made back in the day, unbelievable

The Temple of Bacchus is truly incredible. Built around the 2nd century AD and dedicated to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, it’s one of the best-preserved and largest Roman temples in the world..actually bigger than the Parthenon in Athens! The scale is incredible, with towering columns (almost 20 meters high) and beautifully detailed carvings. The whole site is quiet and not crowded, so you can really take your time exploring and taking photos. Walking through it feels like stepping back in time. Absolutely worth the trip if you’re visiting Baalbek or Lebanon.

I can't believe there is a temple in Lebanon that I knew was only in Greece! Lebanon will be a famous city!

Stepping into the Temple of Bacchus feels like entering a forgotten world. The sunlight through those giant columns, the silence, the scale — pure magic carved in stone

This whole site is incredible to visit. It's well maintained, plenty of shady spots. If you love history, Roman ruins, this is a very accessible spot to visit. Easily reached by car, taxi, or bus. Small tip: Dress appropriately for the culture, whether you agree or not. We noticed a situation that could have been avoided with better clothing choices.

Jbeil Castle is an amazing spot to explore if you’re into history and stunning views. The castle is right in the middle of the ancient city of Byblos, and it’s got this incredible backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. The location alone makes it worth a visit. The castle itself is well-maintained and offers a great look into the past with its ancient walls and towers. You can walk around and imagine what life was like centuries ago. Plus, the views from the top are absolutely breathtaking, you get a perfect panorama of the sea and the city harbor. I used to visit Jbeil Castle regularly, and I really miss the peaceful vibe and the sense of history it offers. If you’re in the area, definitely check it out it’s a fantastic place to soak in some culture and enjoy the scenery.

One the best historical sites in Lebanon, definitely worth a visit. The only thing bas about it is the lack of guide/historian to explain the story behind each and every corner in the citadel.

Such a wonderful historical site having influences of Roman, Phoenician and Ottoman periods. It was supposedly layered in soil and lost in time until recently when the residents were evacuated and the site excavated to find this lovely history. A mere visit to this site itself is all worthwhile with the beautiful breathtaking views of the Mediterranean sea. Take a guide along to learn history, it's worth it. You could easily spend around 2hrs wandering and around. Entrance fee is LBP800,000 ($9) and includes a visit a tiny museum within

Byblos Citadel is an incredible historical site with exceptional archaeological variety. The preservation is outstanding, showcasing more than 8,000 years of continuous history from different civilizations. Walking through the ruins gives a real sense of the city’s deep past and cultural layers. A must-see for anyone interested in history or archaeology.

As a student of archaeology, visiting Jbeil Castle (Byblos Castle) was an extraordinary experience. This sprawling site is a treasure trove of history, beautifully situated within the ancient city of Byblos, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Accompanied by my professor, I was struck by the castle's architectural grandeur and the layers of history embedded in its stones. Built in the 12th century by the Crusaders, the castle's sturdy limestone and remnants of Roman, Phoenician, and Ottoman influences tell a vivid story of cultural overlap. Walking through its massive halls and ascending its towers offered breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding ruins, including ancient temples and a well-preserved amphitheater. What stood out to me most was the intricate history of the site. Byblos has been a crossroads of civilizations for millennia, and the castle serves as a tangible reminder of its strategic importance and resilience. The detailed carvings, inscriptions, and artifacts showcased on-site further enrich the experience, making it both educational and awe-inspiring. The site is vast, and exploring it requires time to truly appreciate its beauty and significance. For me, it was not just a visit but a journey into the past. The well-maintained pathways, signage, and museum nearby make it accessible to history enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. I highly recommend Jbeil Castle to anyone interested in archaeology, history, or simply beautiful places. It left me with a profound appreciation for the layers of history and the stories that ancient stones can tell.

It is disappointing to see how badly maintained the place is. There is so much wasted potential in this place if only the ministry of tourism would put a bit of effort into it. The citadel itself is pretty nice, but the area around is becoming a grassland and a graveyard for the ancient pillars which are still in good condition. With a bit of work, they have all the pieces necessary to recreate some of the original structures. They also let exposed ancient mosaics in the middle of the bushes which you would mistakenly walk on and damage. The posters are covered with bird droppings that have not been removed for a long time. The visit was still worth it, but to see how badly we take care of our heritage is saddening.

A highlight in Byblos - from the citadel one can get a good view of the city and archaeological site. In addition it is possible to wander around in the ruins and see the contours of the city there once was.

I visited the place again since I heard it's open wasn't bad!!! Just the boat ride was really short! Other than that give it a go parking 250LB . And entrance ticket 15$ per adult a lot but well. U can't take pics or anything inside the caves, just open area outside , overall upper part is better personally big and u get to walk and experience the rocks the feelings and all . Lower one wasn't much water is nice but too much fuss over short boat trip

Amazing! This is briefly what you can say about this majestic place. I visited the grotto several times in the past and this summer I wanted to let my kids to see it. They were extremely stunned by the cave and the incredible shapes of the stalagmites and stalactites. This place is a must see for any visitor to Lebanon. No pictures are allowed inside but nothing can depict what you see there in person.

I visited Jeita Grotto today, and it is truly one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen. The caves are stunning, with incredible natural formations and an underground river that feels magical to experience. The entire area is well-maintained, and the beauty inside is simply unforgettable. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was that phones and photos are not allowed inside the grotto. I feel it would be much better if visitors could take photos, as it would help promote this amazing site when shared with friends and family—more people would be inspired to come and see it for themselves. I also believe the area could feel a bit less commercial if they focused more on enhancing the natural charm of the surroundings rather than just coffee shops and restaurants. Still, overall, Jeita Grotto is an absolute must-visit in Lebanon—an experience you will never forget.

A natural wonder developped over millions of years inside the these beautiful mountains. A formation of Stalactites and Stalagmites, many in weird shapes such as Jelly Fish, Mushroom, etc. based on their shapes. There are 3 layers to visit, Upper, Middle and Lower. While Upper and Middle is on foot, the lower is on a short boat trip. The temperatures within are cool throughout the year, around 20degs, especially a relief in the hot summers. The Entrance fee is $15 and includes rides on a cable car, toy train and the boat. Staff is friendly. Photography is strictly prohibited and they go to lengths to stop it. The reasoning given behind it when questioned was unconvincing and the only reason I can think of it so to create a curiosity among people so that people visit it in person generating income. Nevertheless, a beautiful place to not miss in a life time

Immersion to the depthness of Mother Earth ( upper grotto- Last chamber with deep hole- inviting to meditation) Touristic attraction : Forbid cameras inside, but take pictures with flash for extra money Entrance fee 15 USD

A Very majestic place ! Both the upper and the lower grotto are very beautiful and worth the visit !

The cave was really nice, but the good things end there, staff would try to be friendly and offer to give you information so that you tip them, and the funny thing is that each one of them has a very different story with different dates, it seems like none of them knows anything about the cave. Tickets are very pricey and they also charge you when you enter the facility for parking. Cameras and phones are not allowed inside the cave (the workers say the light would damage the cave) while they have photo stands inside the cave with big flash lights so that you pay to take pictures, and they also have phones that you can rent out to take pictures since they don't let you take your phone inside, they touch your body everywhere to make sure of it. Overall the way things operate there really ruined the experience for me and I would never go back ever again.

I had an amazing time at Beirut Souks! is such a vibrant place. I spent many wonderful days there this summer, attending events, walking around, and visiting the shops and cafes. The atmosphere is fantastic, with so many great restaurants and unique stores to explore. It’s definitely one of my favorite spots in Beirut. Highly recommend checking it out

It's quite a modern souk, but not many visitors, I wonder why it's so quiet. I heard and understood many locals talking about cats and they are animal lovers. I undertood the reason why. Not a few places are empty. # Beirut # Lebanon

Beirut Souks is a luxurious destination offering many stores for shopping, a variety of restaurants, and a cinema. It’s also a great place to take a walk.

Love this area in Beirut! A mix of historical buildings and modern stores. You will find a great mix of ultra luxury stores, from clothing to jewelry. Eye candy for all! Got a heavy wallet? Great place to reduce its weight!

Used to be my favorite spot for shopping , and now it is getting back there with the shops opening again. I love the modern and old clash of architecture there, and the public spaces for people and family to enjoy.

It’s really cool but if it’s your first time you’ll walk without knowing where you are going.

Beautifully designed and buildings and shops are contemporary modern architecture. Unfortunately, it’s underused and majority of the shops and outlets are not let. Those which are let are designers outlets, watches, clothes, and other expensive goods. There’s nothing much for ordinary citizens apart from Starbucks and Cinema City!

The place is pretty big, with three different sections, comfy couches perfect for sunset, a bar area with high and low tables, and a restaurant section where smoking is allowed. There’s no DJ, just chill music playing in the background, and each section offers a different beautiful view. The service was a bit slow, but the vibes made up for it. Drinks were good, though the alcohol was on the lighter side, and the food was tasty. Overall, it’s a great place to relax, enjoy the view, and have a laid-back evening.

Very nice spot in Zaytouna Bay overlooking the city and lights ! I visited couple of times a couple of years ago and I thought it has closed down. Love to have a sangria or a cocktail there in September /October , it is chill . The drinks and food are great and consistent from my previous visit. The service is not very welcoming and slow, alltho not many table reservations. The staff seem to lack motivation .

Park at Zaitunay Bay is one of the nicest outdoor spots in Beirut. It’s right by the water, super spacious, and the view at sunset is honestly hard to beat. The setup is casual — bean bags, soft lights, and music playing in the background. It’s the kind of place where you just want to sit back and relax. The food is pretty good — I’ve had their burgers and a few appetizers, and they hit the spot. The drinks are light and refreshing, nothing crazy but perfect for the vibe. It does get busy, especially on weekends, so don’t be surprised if service takes a bit longer. And there’s a minimum charge, so just keep that in mind. But overall, if you're looking for a chill spot by the sea, this one’s worth it. Rating: 4.0/5 Scenic, relaxed, and just a good hangout — great for catching the sunset with friends.

It is a very nice place for a drink or snack and I am a regular. I enjoy the breeze that you can feel since it is elevated with no obstructive buildings. Other than the relaxing environment itself, the cocktails are very basic and so is the food. I only had salads but they were of good quality and did feel fresh. The service is not so good even though the place is empty. Waiters stand and talk to each others, so you would have to walk to the bar by yourself if the glasses are empty. I do not understand at all why they do not accept short pants because there is nothing fancy at all about the place. However if that is the image they seek to achieve, then they do have quite a bit to work on. However I like this place alot. I find it very chill and will keep coming back (despite the room for improvements) ;)

A hidden gem above the city, Park offers a stunning rooftop setting with breathtaking views and a relaxing ambiance. It’s the perfect spot to unwind while enjoying the skyline, whether at sunset or under the stars. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with an atmosphere that is both chic and inviting. The food was equally impressive — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish reflects great attention to detail, and the service is warm and professional. A must-visit for anyone looking to combine great taste with an unforgettable atmosphere.

The Park, if not for it's amazing views and atmosphere, wouldn't be that good of a place. The food is mediocre, so is the service, and not to mention that they profile you as being under 18 without even asking for your ID or anything. They simply tell you: "you can't sit there" (In the 22+ Area). Their drinks are also not that good. Overall, nice place to go once for the views, but that's it.

This rooftop spot in Beirut is my go-to for a chill-out. With an incredible view of the sea, the sunset, and the skyline, it's truly a treat. The place is surrounded by nature and the service is good. Don't miss out on their cocktails, appetizers, and burgers - they're a must-try!

One of the most unique places you'll visit in Israel. There are many beautiful along the lake and campsites.

Sea of Galilee aka Lake Tiberias. Is the famous lake where JESUS walked on it and also calmed the storm. It’s also the lowest fresh water lake on earth. Peaceful lake indeed and breeze was so cool.

An amazing place to see with my own eyes. I read all about this place and Jesus' ministry here. I also enjoyed sailing on the Sea of Galilee. Luckily, it was a calm and beautiful day.

The Sea of Galilee is one of my favorite spots in Israel. This is a spot where you really feel the presence of Jesus.

This is one of my best experiences in Israel, you will be enthuse and captivated if you ever visit this area, especially if you’re of the Christian faith. Take a tour one day and go experience a little of history.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

I've been to Beit She'an three different times on three different trips to Israel, usually in the late afternoon. It was very interesting, especially from the top of the hill, but also very hot, even with the strong wind that always seems to be blowing. The park is bigger than it looks so I would recommend carrying lots of water, more than you think you would normally need. The last time I was there they had installed beautiful stainless steel cold water drinking fountains in a few spots which I thought was just amazing.

Extraordinary Roman town, with middle east largest theater. If you come during the summer, bring plenty water, this place is hoter than Kuwait. Plan no less than 3 hrs to see most of the site, bring a hat beside water, there are water coolers on site at the entrance mainly

Nice spot to see some ancient history! It was great to be able to see what a city would have looked like. If you do stop in be sure to check out the Egyptian ruins at the top of the hill overlooking the entire city. Lots of remains of ancient ruins like the colosseum, public sanitary, the theater, the city etc, etc. The architecture is amazing and what’s left of the buildings tell an amazing story about its greatness. Extremely good Roman archeological site….for its shape and all well preserved ruins (many mosaics, good theater,….) it is absolutely at the level of Rome forums

Beit She'an's history spans millennia, beginning in the Chalcolithic period and featuring over 20 layers of settlement on its ancient tell. It was a significant site for the Canaanites, Egyptians, Israelites, Philistines (where King Saul's body was displayed), and Hellenistic Greeks, who renamed it Scythopolis. The city flourished under the Romans and Byzantines as a provincial capital but declined after a devastating earthquake in 749 AD, leaving behind extensive ruins of its Roman past. The work done here is first class, the ancient columns has been stood up again and the amphitheatre has been rebuilt. The explanation signage is excellent

Now this place was it! Back in the day!!! Theres a latrine with marble seats for your 🍑 and marble floor for your feet! It's very clear it was a hot spot for trade and for entertainment!!! Unlike the town on the hill right next to it....the short hike up is completely worth the view! Go here if in Israel!

Stunning remains of over 20 layers of civilization. Most notable are the recent Roman ruins. One can picture chariots heading up and down the main street. The 7000 seat theater is mostly standing and the original public bathrooms are nearby, what a gas! There is an entrance plaza, a large bathhouse, streets, shops, a bridge, a ritual compound and more. An earthquake in 749 shook the Roman temple and the huge columns fell. They still lay there and it's hard to imagine that this is all real and not replicas. Amazing experience.

Caesarea Philippi was a Roman and we're pagan ceremonies to the god pan were performed. Jesus visited it this site , it has become an important Christian pilgrimage destination. And where Jesus states: I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

It's a must see for Christians and general public. However it is isolated in the middle of Nazareth which is currently suffering from bad management and disfunctual city services. Hopefully the city will improve and this beautiful site will shine again. Don't forget to bring something to cover the shoulders as respect to the holy site.

In my opinion, one of the most impressive and amazing churches in the world. The visit to the Church of the Annunciation is powerful and interesting, the structure is amazing. The church was established at the site where, according to one tradition, the Annunciation took place. The church has a variety of works of art in different styles from all over the world.

Beautiful, amazing, spiritual and peaceful place! As a Catholic being able to visit the place where The annunciation happened to the Virgin Mary was a simply wonderful and religious experience. The church is beautiful, on the exterior you can see images of the Virgin Mary for all different countries, worth to enjoy each one of them.

One can light up an electric candle 🕯in this church - I really liked this idea as I believe that it is more friendly to the environment. Another thing that I liked is an alley with the paintings and mosaics to the church from all over the world 🌎 One can find donations from the South America, India, and my homeland Ukraine 🇺🇦 It feels really good to find things related to your country when you are that far from it, especially when your country is under attack from the terrorist russian state. If you plan your visit in advance, I also recommend to bring coins and cash for the donations to support the church.

Basilica of the Annunciation Nazareth, also known as The Catholic Church of the Annunciation, is the most impressive and spectacular site in the city and is considered to be one of the most holy churches for Christianity. Basilica of the Annunciation an outstanding building in the center of town, is built where it’s believed the house the Virgin Mary was. On the lower level is the most holy place – Mary’s cave, the cave in which, according to the Catholic-Christian tradition, Mary was visited by Archangel Gabriel and told her she is destined to carry Jesus in her womb.

a very special place with unique story. the church itself quite new and was built upon the ruins of the origins of st. mary...many illustrations from around the world were sent here for display and you sense that this is a piece of history. there is no entrance fee and many pilgrims come here for spiritual charging.

The most impressive church I’ve ever seen. It is modern, huge, tho it still preserve the old trails from Jesus’s time. Also, in the church’s yard, there are icons from all around the world, and it’s interesting to see different cultures picturing the holy family in their own way. You can visit the church for free, there is no fee.

Part of the Roman theater of Amman. I filmed here numerous times. I always enjoy the acoustics. The government needs to do more to boost this place and bring in more tourists.

this one is smaller and also used for events. the roman theatre is used for events as well

Loved the place! Such a magical historic location You can’t enter the theater unless their is a concert or an event Their is public area in front of the theater

The Odeon Theater or the Winter Theater is a small Roman amphitheater located in the center of the Jordanian capital, Amman, where the Great Roman Amphitheater is also located. It was built in the second century AD, before the construction of the Great Amphitheater, to accommodate about 500 spectators. The Odeon Theater was mainly used for musical performances. Archaeologists believe it may have been roofed with a wooden roof or temporary tent to protect the audience and performers from the weather. It is believed that the severe earthquake that struck the city of Amman and the regions of the Levant in 1927 was the main reason for the demolition of a large part of it, especially its high facade. The amphitheater and the surrounding area in the Hashemite Square have recently been restored, where concerts and poetry seminars are held today.

The Odeon is a small 500-seat theatre. Not to be confused with the large Roman Theatre that stands right next to it, on the southern side of the Hashemite Plaza, while the Odeon stands on the east side of the Plaza. Very nice, tidy and clean old ruins, that is kept in good shape.

Right next to the Roman theatre and a great deal smaller! Thought it wasn’t included in the Jordan Pass but the guard asked and we said we had it and got in for free. It’s a lot quieter than the Roman theatre - come here if you are avoiding the ruckus and keen on admiring the ancient Roman architecture.

This is like a compact version of the big Roman Theater next to it. But, it seems to be in better condition (restored?) and feels more welcoming. There are some funky acoustics if you stand at the center of the arena.

Our visit was on day 1 of Jordan pass, quite cumbersome. Rest of the experience was great, thanks to our guide giving in depth details of multiple era of transition this site has witnessed. There is a small museum having locally recovered treasure, and it’s one the best range of museums articles to experience right at the place of its recovery.

Panoramic Views and Ancient History at the Amman Citadel.. Perched on one of Amman's highest hills, the Citadel offers a captivating blend of history and breathtaking views that you won't want to miss. It's a must-visit when in the city, providing a magnificent panoramic outlook that includes the iconic Roman Theatre nestled in the valley below. The contrast between the ancient ruins on the hill and the bustling, modern city stretching out below is simply stunning. The site itself is beautifully maintained, with clear pathways and well-preserved structures that give you a true sense of walking through history. The most striking of these is the Temple of Hercules. While only parts of the colossal statue remain—most notably a giant stone hand—they give you a powerful insight into the scale and ambition of Roman architecture. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for an incredible vantage point, the Citadel is a rewarding experience. It provides deep insights into the history of Amman, and you can easily explore it with or without a guide. The informational signs are excellent, but a guide can also bring the stories to life with more detailed historical context.

The Amman Citadel is one of those places that takes your breath away not just because of the views, but because of the history that surrounds you. The ancient ruins are incredible to walk through, from the Temple of Hercules to the Umayyad Palace. It’s amazing to stand among structures that have been there for thousands of years and imagine all the civilizations that once called this place home. What I loved most was the mix of beauty and serenity. Stray cats wander the site, lounging in the sun or following visitors around like little guides. The view from the top is absolutely stunning you can see all of Amman spread out below, a blend of old and new. There’s also a small but fascinating museum at the Citadel that holds artifacts dating back to prehistoric times. If you love history, culture, or just a good sunset view, this place is a must-visit.

Amazing place with incredible history and beautiful views over Amman! 🏛️✨ The ruins, like the Temple of Hercules and Umayyad Palace, are fascinating and well-preserved. Peaceful, not too crowded, and a must-visit spot in the city! 💛

The Amman Citadel is such a beautiful and historic place to visit. The ancient ruins are truly impressive, and the views overlooking the city are breathtaking. The area is well maintained, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. A must-see spot when visiting Amman!

Amman Citadel is an Archiological site which has ruins from various civilizations. The site has a long history and many historical landmarks, dating back from bronze age (1200 BCE), to Roman period, Byzantine period and Umayyaad period (661-750 CE) are there. The site was mostly abandoned afterwards until the late 19th century. The site is mostly in ruins now, but very interesting to visit it. Every important part is explained in boards in English and Arabic. The Jordan Archaeological Museum was on the Citadel hill has many beautiful collection of artifacts from all periods of history. Citadel is the most important part of Amman, must visit place.

Nice to walk around and have a look. The cafe was nice to sit down afterwards. But the people inside trying to sell things or try to trick you by insisting on guiding you or tell you «fun facts» then following you and asking for money ruins the mood abit.

First of all the entrance is free, which is a great plus for a place like this. Very nice view and beautiful gardens. Unfortunately isn't possible to visit the gardens on your own, but you have to wait for the guided tour (available in Jewish, Arab, English and Russian). A big no from my point of view is that you must stick to the high pace of the guides, so you have a very little time to enjoy the place and take some pictures, furthermore, the guide does not wait the group for the explanations, so if you waste one minute to take a photo, you'll miss the explanations about the place, the religion, etc.

The best thing to do in Haifa! The gardens are immaculate and run completely by volunteers. My husband and I went on a guided tour which was free. I definitely recommend going on the tour as this is the only way to view the upper terraces. An absolutely beautiful, peaceful place.

Some of the most beautiful gardens in the world. The Bahai faith is extremely welcoming and kind as you walk through the gardens at their holy site. Highly recommend going.

The Gardens are beautiful. First the top level is free to all great views of the Haifa bay and the Baha’i gardens and shrine from the top. However if you really want to experience the gardens then get tickets in advance. If you are in Haifa it should be a must. The tour is about 60 minutes. It is 750 steps down. You will have a guided tour in English if you want and can stop at about 4 levels. You cannot walk back up the steps. You can take a bus 136 -7 stops (I think you need a Rav Kav. Like a metro card to board the bus) to return you back to the top, or walk through the German Colony Blvd and get a taxi. It a bit of a walk but there are cafes along the way back to the Carmel mountain

An ordeal to get there unless by taxi or you're very, very fit to walk there as it's all uphill. Taxis are extremely expensive unless you can get a group together to share the cost. The view from the top, however, is fantastic, providing panoramic views of the Haifa Bay area.

If you are in Israel, definitely make an effort to go here. The tour is interesting, the religion itself is interesting enough to learn about. Anyone from any background or creed can take something away from this group of people. In terms of the actual gardens themselves, they are some of the most immaculately kept and diverse plants that you will ever lay your eyes on. Everything is kept perfectly, down to the stones on the ground that you are walking on. As you descend, you will feel yourself appreciating the beauty more and more as you look back at each level that you pass. Take the time to explore the gardens and learn a little about the Bahai people You will not regret it.

During the month of November, the gardens are a burst of bright color in a city with very few gardens blooming. Exquisitely manicured, the gardens are beautiful with many plantings of bright reds and other amazing colors. There are nineteen terraces that extend up the northern slope of Mt. Carmel. The golden dome Shrine of the Bab, is the resting place of the Prophet Herald of the Bahai faith. Impressive.

A Sacred Gem of History and Faith Visiting the St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Madaba was a deeply moving experience. The moment I stepped inside, I felt a sense of peace and divine presence that words can hardly describe. The church is home to the famous 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land, a breathtaking piece of sacred art that beautifully connects history, faith, and geography. The priests and caretakers were warm and welcoming, happy to share the story of the church and its significance in Christianity. The atmosphere is serene — the scent of incense, the gentle flicker of candles, and the ancient walls seem to whisper prayers from centuries past. Whether you come as a pilgrim, a seeker of history, or simply a traveler drawn by curiosity, St. George’s Church offers a rare opportunity to feel the union of heaven and earth. It reminds us that faith transcends time and that sacred spaces still hold living energy. A must-visit for anyone exploring Jordan — not just for its history, but for the peace it brings to the heart.

The beautiful Madaba Map, a floor mosaic in the Church of St. George in Madaba, Jordan, depicts a map of the Middle East dating from the Byzantine period. The mosaic is the oldest cartographic representation of the Holy Land, including Jerusalem. It dates back to the 6th century and is truly impressive.

St. George's Church in Madaba is a revered pilgrimage site, famously housing one of the Holy Land's most precious treasures: the Madaba Mosaic Map. This magnificent 6th-century AD floor mosaic is the oldest surviving original map of the Holy Land, depicting the region from Lebanon to the Nile Delta. Crafted from over two million vividly colored stone pieces, it presents a detailed topographic view of hills, valleys, and towns, with Jerusalem as its stunning central focus. Originally part of a larger Byzantine basilica, the map served as a visual guide for pilgrims, uniquely blending biblical narrative with geographical reality. Its rediscovery in 1884 was a monumental event for archaeology and biblical studies. Today, this intricate masterpiece offers an unparalleled window into the ancient world, making the humble St. George's Church a priceless cultural and spiritual landmark.

You need to buy a ticket to ender now worth 3 jod, cash, from the shop on the ruight side. The shop is disorganised, no queue, just a bunch of people near the register talking through one another. The mosaic inside is impressive.

A lovely Church with the oldest mosaic map in the world. Unfortunately the church was under renovation when we went so most of the artworks were not in place. The main one we got to see was the Map on the floor.

Amazing historic place! One of the oldest churches in Jordan, with the oldest mosaic map of th holly land.

Mount Nebo it was a doing experience full of new information about the place and the views were perfect from that side of the church. God bless

Mount Nebo (where Prophet Musa AS viewed the Holy Land) to Al-Maghtas — is considered blessed land in the Qur’an: “Glory be to Him Who took His servant by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haram to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed.” — (Surah Al-Isra 17:1) • Scholars say “blessed surroundings” refers to the land of Jordan, Palestine, and Syria — the area of many prophets.

Ancient Mosaics to Dead Sea Views! Legendary spot linked to Moses’ last view of the Promised Land and panoramic views of the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea & Israel/Palestine on clear days! Beautiful mosaics and sculpture of the bronze serpent cross.. Peaceful church on the hilltop, great for photos One of Jordan’s most spiritual stops!

This place is magical. According to ancient pilgrims, the biblical Moses was supposed to have seen the Promised Land from Mount Nebo, which he was not destined to enter with the Israelite tribes. Today, the peak houses the Sanctuary of Moses, with an archaeological park cared for by the Franciscans of the Custody of the Holy Land. Excavations have shown that the first Christian sanctuary was built in the 4th century. The church contained a diaconate and a baptistery. Thanks to inscriptions discovered on mosaics, we know, among other things, the names of the artisans. John Paul II visited Mount Nebo during his 91st apostolic journey. The Pope planted an olive tree next to the remains of a Byzantine basilica.

A beautiful and peaceful site, top of the mountain with a view open to Dead Sea, river Jordan, Jerusalem and Palestine. The old church in renovated form is Morden but will well kept mosaic works. The serpentine sculpture symbolises Moses presence also resembles to kundalini awakening!

Mount Nebo is a historic and spiritual landmark in Jordan, believed to be the place where Prophet Moses glimpsed the Promised Land before his death. The site offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and even Jerusalem on clear days. It houses a 4th-century Byzantine church featuring stunning mosaics, including the famous serpent and vine motifs. Recently, archaeological excavations have revealed early Christian monasteries nearby, highlighting the area’s long-standing religious significance and making it a key destination for pilgrims and history enthusiasts alike

A Pilgrimage to Mount Nebo – Where Stones Speak and Silence Weeps On a golden morning, I journeyed to Mount Nebo with my beloved wife and daughters, our hearts light but our thoughts deep. There, on that ancient summit, we stood—witnesses to history, not through pages, but through the breath of the land itself. The monument, timeless and dignified, stands preserved in reverence—a sentinel of sacred memory, whispering echoes of a prophet’s final gaze. The ruins of Moses’ Memorial Church, worn by time yet mighty in meaning, spoke to us in solemn silence: that all things earthly are but sojourn, fleeting as the wind that dances across the stone. From the summit, we searched the horizon with quiet yearning, our eyes tracing the contours of Jerusalem, the shimmer of the Dead Sea, the soul of the Holy Land itself. We tried to grasp their sacred weight—these places that hold the prayers of centuries, and the tears of prophets. But as we stood in awe, another shadow clouded our hearts—a storm of sorrow. We thought of the innocents—the children, the mothers, the lives lost without mercy, and we searched deep within ourselves for understanding. But try as we might, we could not summon an ounce of empathy for the hands that shed blood in the name of power. Where holiness should inspire compassion, we saw only cruelty. On our way back, heavy with thought yet grateful for the journey, we paused at the mosaic museums—a final balm to the spirit. There, in tiny tesserae of color and craft, we saw a thousand silent prayers, captured in stone, frozen in time. Each mosaic whispered stories of devotion, of beauty, of a people who found solace in art. This was not just a visit—it was a meditation, a mourning, a moment of reverence. Mount Nebo didn’t just show us the land. It showed us ourselves.

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.

(Translated by Google) When you buy a ticket, you enter the river, but you have the option to enter the ancient synagogue that day, and they didn't mention that it is valid for the day you bought the ticket, and there aren't many interesting rivers, nothing deep, everything shallow (Original) שאתה קונה כניסה אתה נכנס לנחל אבל יש לך אפשרות לאותו יום להיכנס לבית כנס העתיק ולא הזכירו שזה תקף ליום שקנית את הכרטיס וגם אין הרבה נחלים מעניינים שום דבר לא עמוק והכל רדוד
