Acre

Learn about the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitalier, before crawling through their underground escape tunnels, emerging at the ancient port.

In addition to crusader history, Acre offers the exoticism of a thriving Arab market town; the second most holy mosque in Israel, home to a hair from the beard of Mohammed; the newly renovated Underground Prisoners Museum which commemorates Jewish resistance fighters imprisoned, and sometimes executed, by the British during the Mandate period; and the stunning Bahai gardens. Plus one of the best hummus eateries in the country.

Our recent tour was simply amazing and an unforgettable treasure that we shall hold close to our hearts forever more.
