If this activity is important to your travel plans, you can factor the vehicle capacity into your planning. Check current availability before making firm plans for the tour.

Archaeology in the wider destination of the Northern District

The wider destination of the Northern District also includes Tel Hazor and Tel Megiddo. Both are biblical tels with significant remains of cities associated with the Bible. Their archaeological highlights differ: Tel Hazor brings together water engineering, fortifications, and palace and gate architecture, while Tel Megiddo is notable for its temple complex and urban planning. This comparison can help you consider the region’s cultural themes in light of your own interests.

Tel Hazor: Water System and Structures

A visit to Tel Hazor focuses on the Upper City. The site includes Solomon’s Gate, with six chambers and two towers dating to the 10th century BCE. The Late Bronze Age palace is considered the most elaborate in Israel and one of the most significant in the Levant. The underground water collection system is an ingenious engineering achievement, adapted to the geography to store water. One excavated shaft is 45 meters deep. In Tel Hazor’s water system, steps three meters wide are cut into the walls of the vertical shaft. Tel Hazor’s fortifications are considered the finest example of their kind in the area stretching from southern Turkey to the northern Negev. Tel Hazor National Park can be reached from the north and south via Route 90 toward Ayelet Hashahar; check your navigation before setting out.

Tel Megiddo: Temple Complex and City Plan

Tel Megiddo is also part of the wider destination of the Northern District and preserves significant remains of a city associated with the Bible. The orthogonal Iron Age city plan has few parallels in the Levant. The Early Bronze Age temple complex is exceptional in terms of the number of its temples, the continuity of cult activity, and the documented ritual practices. The contrast in date between the Iron Age urban planning and the Early Bronze Age temple complex highlights their distinct archaeological themes.
