This is a geologic formation in Israel, just on the border with Lebanon. It is located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, in the Western Galilee where the mountain meets the Sea. From the top you take a short cable car ride down the white chalk cliff and the cliff opens up into spectacular grottos formed over the centuries... More

If I knew that it's possible to get there without using the expensive cable car (and avoid looong line too) it would be much better :) Would be good to go in dates when there are no school trips but don't know how to predict this :) Don't miss the sea side south of the caves - there are rock...

in this place the mountain meets the sea in an amazing grottos made by the driping water in a thousand years. It is the perfect place to have a wedding or to propose to your love one. when the sun touches the water it like a thechicolor show.

Travelled by road from tel aviv, lovely blue waters and well maintained grottos, movie is interesting, cable car is rather expensive and too short a ride at that...hyped...The trip is worth 60 to 90 mins, can avoid the restaurant at the top, has limited menu and expensive.

Place this on your itenerary for Western Upper Galilee touring. You need no more than two hours here. But be aware that during tourist season there will be long waits for using the cable car for descending to the grottos. There are not many grottos to see. But if you enjoy the sea, its sounds and the surge of the... More

The grottoes are indeed lovely and fascinating, the movie was interesting, and the cable car afforded lovely views, but you can easily see the whole place in 90 minutes or less, so you should do this in the morning and have a plan to continue at the beach or Acco or drive into the mountains afterward. They do offer bike... More

The grottos of Rosh Haniqra are absolutely stunning. You have to take the rather expensive cable car ride to get down to the grottos, but once you are there, you can walk through the natural caves (watch your step, as the entire place is extremely slippery), hear the echo of the waves, smell the strong salty smell of the sea...

Interesting place. It is nothing only as one single grottos or cable car etc. but when they all come together as grottos, cable car, elephant foot, Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon border etc. these make this place quite a thing. Take one day and enjoy it.

The grottoes alone are not nearly as dramatic as some I've seen, but considering you are so near a border constantly in the news, it is plenty dramatic. I'm told that the cable car which takes you down to the grotto entrance is the steepest in the world. Near the grotto entrance is a 15 minute orientation film well worth... More

We arrived late in the day so felt rushed on and off our cable cars. However the grottos are so beautiful and well worth the drive north and the time to visit. We didn't have time for a meal but the restaurant looked like an amazing location for a beautiful meal with a view.
