Israel's Pearls: Beautiful Cities on the Mediterranean Sea

Caesarea was established in honor of the Roman Emperor Octavian Augustus, known as Caesar, during the reign of the Jewish King Herod the Great. The city's significant strategic position is evidenced by its use as the Roman procurator's seat and as a base for the Roman legion in Judea.

In modern times, Caesarea attracts tourists with its ancient artifacts and ruins. The historical-archaeological park of this place, located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, offers an opportunity to fully immerse oneself in the atmosphere of antiquity. Here, you can admire the luxury of King Herod's amphitheater, visit landmarks such as the "Palace on the Reef," and stroll through streets that have preserved their ancient frescoes and architecture.

Next, we will head to Haifa to enjoy the view of the unique Bahá'í Gardens from the observation deck. At the center of these gardens stands the Bahá'í Temple, representing a small religious community. It is important to have appropriate attire when visiting this religious sanctuary.

Our journey will conclude in Acre, rich in history, where crusaders once resided. We will explore the old city, its ancient port, and the eastern bazaar.

Attractions

Akre

It is the city, within the walls of which is still heard the clang of swords and armor of the crusaders and war cries calling for battle. Acre is saturated with history and time has no power over this place. Sometimes it seems that it is moving perfectly in a chaotic direction. Monuments of the past and present mixed together here, but they appeared far from architectural badness, on the contrary brought a special atmosphere.
There is an ancient port, and fortresses of the crusaders, and Turkish baths (hamams), mosques and even a magical garden built during the crusaders. Among all the historical diversity it is difficult to single out one thing.: the city keeps the secret of the Templars, it hosted Napoleon, the legendary king Richard the Lionheart, and despite all the warriors, rulers and conquerors, Acre has never interrupted its settlement for more than five millennia and is one of the oldest cities in the world.

Caesarea

Caesarea was built by the Jewish king Herod the Great, in honor of the Roman Caesar Octavian Augustus. From here the city got its name.
The city occupied an important position. Here was the Roman prosecutor's office and the main base of the Roman legion in Judea.
Today Caesarea attracts tourists, first of all, of course, for its ancient artifacts, buildings and ruins. Artifacts found during excavations will give an opportunity to touch the secrets of the "rich" life of the Roman nobility and ..... how can it be without Pontius Pilate?

Bahai Gardens in Haifa

The spiritual center on Mount Carmel in Haifa is one of the holiest places for Baha'i practitioners, the youngest monotheistic religion in the world. The center includes a temple, a tomb where the remains of the Bab, the ancestor of the faith, and famous gardens rest.

The tomb is an impressive building crowned by a gilded dome. It is equipped with a backlight. Thanks to her, the dome is illuminated at night, but so that it seems as if the source of radiance is inside it.

To get to the tomb, the guest have to go through the gardens that terraces cover the slope of Mount Carmel. There are twelve in all. Seeing this incredible work of human hands, you will understand why the gardens are called the eighth wonder of the world. The local collection contains about 450 species of various plants, among which there are unique flowers. Shrubs are sheared, and you probably will not find lawns more even and greener in the city. Add to this the fountains - isn't it awesome? Bahai Gardens is a monument not only to faith and its founder, but also to the harmony and great taste of architects.
