Archaeological themes in the broader destination of the Northern District
In the broader destination of the Northern District, Tel Hazor and Tel Megiddo offer different perspectives on ancient urban history. Tel Hazor is a biblical tell with significant remains of a city with biblical connections. The visit focuses on the Upper City.
Among the notable architectural remains at Tel Hazor is Solomon's Gate, a six-chambered gate with two towers dating to the 10th century BCE. The underground water-collection system is also a major highlight: it is regarded as a sophisticated engineering achievement adapted to the geography for storing water. The excavated shaft is 45 meters deep, with steps three meters wide cut into its vertical walls.
The palace and fortification architecture also shape the character of Tel Hazor. The Canaanite palace was used by the kings of Hazor in the 14th and 13th centuries BCE. The Late Bronze Age palace is considered the most elaborate in Israel and one of the most significant in the Levant. The fortifications are considered the finest example of their kind in the region stretching from southern Turkey to the northern Negev.
Tel Megiddo is also a biblical tell. It is one of three tells that preserve significant remains of cities with biblical connections and are closely linked to events in the Bible. Its orthogonal Iron Age city plan has few parallels in the Levant. The temple complex from the Early Bronze Age represents another historical layer. It is exceptional for the number of its temples, the continuity of cult activity, and its documented ritual activities.
The difference between the sites is clear when choosing a theme: Tel Hazor draws attention to water engineering, palace history, and fortifications, while Tel Megiddo focuses on urban planning and temple worship. You can reach Tel Hazor National Park from the north and south via Route 90 toward Ayelet Hashahar. Check your navigation before setting out.
