Haifa, Acre & Rosh Hanikra Grottos – Cruise Shore Shared Tour

Tour Overview

Haifa is the third‑largest city in Israel, with about 295,000 inhabitants. Its history begins with Tel Shikmona around 1700 B.C., and although Haifa is mentioned in the Talmud, it became truly important with the construction of the modern port in the 20th century by Great Britain. It is the capital of the Israeli north and the world center for Bahai religion. Acre (Akko) also has at least 4,000 years of history, but during our tour we’ll focus on its time as the capital of the Second Crusader Kingdom — and the last Crusader stronghold to fall to the Muslims. After its fall, Crusader rule in the Holy Land came to an end. All major Crusader orders — the Hospitallers, Templars, Teutonic Knights, and others — were based in Acre. They were rivals, often clashing even while facing a greater enemy at the gates. At Rosh Hanikra, we’ll visit a breathtaking natural site where white cliffs meet the deep blue sea. Over time, the water has carved out a series of sea grottos, which we’ll reach by cable car — the steepest in the world and the last Crusader stronghold to fall to the Muslims. After that event, Crusader rule in the Holy Land ended. All the major Crusader orders — Hospitallers, Templars, Teutonic Knights, etc. — were based in Acre. They were rivals, and it was a history of conflict and war when their most powerful enemy stood at the gates — the Muslims. So it is part of the history of the Holy Land, Europe, and the world. Rosh Hanikra is a natural reserve and a beautiful nature place. The white cliff meets deep blue water. Water created grottos. You're my personal guests, not just tourists
