Archaeological Sites in the Wider Destination of the Northern District

In the wider destination of the Northern District, Tel Hazor and Tel Megiddo tell different archaeological stories. Tel Hazor is a biblical tell with significant remains of a city associated with the Bible. The visit focuses on the Upper City. Tel Hazor includes Solomon’s Gate, a six-chambered gate with two towers dating to the 10th century BCE. A Late Bronze Age palace was used by the kings of Hazor in the 14th and 13th centuries BCE. It is considered the most elaborate palace in Israel and one of the most significant in the Levant. The fortifications are also considered the finest example of their kind in the area from southern Turkey to the northern Negev. The dates refer to different periods: the kings of Hazor used the palace in the 14th and 13th centuries BCE; Solomon’s Gate dates to the 10th century BCE.

Tel Hazor also has a significant underground water-collection system, an advanced engineering achievement adapted to the geography for storing water. Three-meter-wide steps are carved into the walls of the vertical shaft. An excavated shaft at Tel Hazor is 45 meters deep.

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

Tel Megiddo is one of three tells that preserve significant remains of cities associated with the Bible and are closely linked to events in the Bible. A temple complex from the Early Bronze Age is exceptional for the number of its temples, the continuity of its cult activity, and its documented ritual practices. The orthogonal city plan from the Iron Age has few parallels in the Levant. Thus, Tel Hazor draws attention to water engineering, its gate, and fortifications, while Tel Megiddo highlights continuity of cult activity and urban planning.
