Rosh Hanikra: Where Lebanon Meets Israeli

by Petalm on 05/10/09 at 11:24 am

A beautiful day trip to these sea bound caves on the boarder between Israel and Lebanon.

At Rosh Hanikra the white chalk cliff has been worn away by the sea over time forming grottoes and tunnels which meander for 200 meters.

In the past the grottoes were only accessible by sea, but today there is a cable car which takes visitors down into the caves where there are safety barricades and they can walk the length of the tunnels.

At one point the British dug a tunnel intending to join Istanbul to Cairo by train, but in 1948 the Jewish resistance destroyed it. In 1949 Rosh Hanikra was the location of the negotiations and conclusion of the Lebanese Israeli front in the Israeli War of Independence.
