We got there 1 and 1/2 hours before they were supposed to close and were herded off the tell 45 minutes earlier then closing time. Still one amazing site! GO GO GO!!! More

The history of the different folks that have lived here is fascinating. I had a private guide that took me around many places in Israel and told me this was a must see. The tunnel below the top area is wonderful. It is hard to believe it was built so long ago and there is STILL water here! It is... More

We visited Megiddo straight from the airport, just after the site opened.

Visited Megido (again) yesterday, with our two kids and some guests. Don't expect anything the size of Mesa Verde - Israeli NP's are small, or should I say compact. That also means that in 2-3 hours tops, you can really explore and experience this place. Take half an hour for the visitors center and ask them to show you the... More
