Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Archaeologists have uncovered 3,700 years of continuous settlement in the 12-acre site, with tunnels carved through solid bedrock. Over 400,000 visitors annually explore the underground water systems that once supplied ancient Jerusalem.
Destaques: You can walk through Hezekiah's Tunnel, a 533-meter water channel carved by hand in the 8th century BCE using nothing but chisels and torches. The tunnel still carries water today, and you'll wade through ankle-deep water in complete darkness, guided only by the sound of flowing water ahead of you.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Wear water shoes or sandals for Hezekiah's Tunnel, the water reaches your knees and the floor is uneven.
- Bring a flashlight or use your phone light, but a headlamp leaves both hands free for balance.
- Skip the 20-minute video presentation and spend that time in the Warren's Shaft system instead.
- Visit on a Thursday afternoon when crowds thin out before the weekend rush.
