Cross "once-in-a-lifetime experiences" off your bucket list with a guided tour through the Caesarea Archaeological Park. Built over 2,000 years ago by King Herod in honor of the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus, it was considered one of the most splendid port cities in the area at the time. Be transported back in time as you stroll through the ruins, the restored Roman Amphitheatre, Crusader fortifications and moat, and the Hippodrome, once used for chariot racing and gladiator games. A highlight of your tour may be the remarkable Aqueduct, a sophisticated water system that supplied water to the city. Complete your experience with a stop at the Visitor Center. Set in the ruins of four massive reconstructed 2,000-year-old vaults, a short 3-D multimedia presentation brings Caesare's history to life. Your return journey takes you past Mt. Carmel, offering a panoramic view of Haifa Bay and the magnificent Baha'i Temple and Gardens.

Special Notes:

There are approximately 3 hours of walking over uneven and cobblestoned ground, therefore flat comfortable shoes are recommended. The journey from Haifa to Caesarea is approximately 45 minutes each way. Wear comfortable walking shoes and adequate protection against the sun.
Not recommended for passengers using wheelchairs, scooters or with mobility difficulties.
