Archaeology in the wider Northern District destination

Tel Hazor is a biblical tell with significant remains of a city with biblical associations. The visit focuses on the Upper City. There, Solomon's Gate is one of the notable structures: it has six chambers and two towers and dates to the 10th century BCE. A Late Bronze Age palace is described as the most elaborate in Israel and one of the most significant in the Levant. Tel Hazor's fortifications are considered the finest example of their kind in the area from southern Turkey to the northern Negev. The Canaanite palace at Tel Hazor was used by the kings of Hazor in the 14th and 13th centuries BCE.

Another highlight is the underground water collection system. It preserves significant remains of sophisticated engineering adapted to the geographical conditions for storing water. The excavated shaft is 45 meters deep; steps three meters wide are carved into the walls of the vertical shaft. The information links the system's function to specific measurements of its structural elements.

Tel Hazor can be organized by different points of interest: the Upper City is the focus of the visit, the gate and fortifications represent architectural features, and the underground water system showcases engineering and water storage. This allows architecture, historical context, and water technology to be considered as distinct aspects.

Tel Megiddo is also one of the three tells that preserve significant remains of cities with biblical associations and are closely connected with events in the Bible. The Early Bronze Age temple complex is exceptional in terms of the number of its temples, the continuity of cult activity, and the documented ritual activities. The orthogonal Iron Age city plan has few parallels in the Levant.

The dates offer a specific comparison: at Tel Megiddo, the temple complex represents the Early Bronze Age, while the city plan is assigned to the Iron Age. At Tel Hazor, Solomon's Gate dates to the 10th century BCE. The features described therefore cover different periods and also differ in focus: temples and urban planning at Megiddo, and a gate, fortifications, and water system at Hazor.

Tel Hazor National Park is accessible from the north and south via Route 90 toward Ayelet Hashahar. Check your navigation before setting out.
