رأس الناقورة Experiencing the Ras Nikora Grottos
Ras Nikora/ Rosh Hanikora in Hebrew has an interesting history. This place has served as a passage point for trade caravans and armies between Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Egypt, and Africa. During the Second World War, South African forces blasted railway tunnels through the nearby rocks for trains running along the Cairo-Istanbul line. The British tried to make a train from Haifa to Beirut through here but the war halted all of these plans.
A cable car, which they claim as 'the steepest in the world" carries people down below for access to the grotto.
Water waves crashing into the soft chalky rock and making formations, and nice views!
In Roman times there was a passage through here, but destroyed during the Israel war.
A permanent battle ship is located behind us in the sea.
The "Ladder of Tyre". Right behind me is Lebanon.
The man in this photo is our private driver who took us here on a day trip from Akko. He was former police and military man.
