What to expect

The King David Tunnels, also known as Hezekiah's Tunnel, are a fascinating archaeological site in Jerusalem. The tunnels are a testament to the city's rich history, dating back to the time of King Hezekiah, who built the tunnel to bring water from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam. Visitors can explore the tunnel, which is over 2,700 years old, and see the ancient stone structures and water systems. The site also features a 3D display that tells the story of the tunnel's construction and significance. The tunnels are a great place to visit for families, with guided tours available that cater to all ages. The tunnels are not accessible for strollers, and visitors are advised to wear suitable shoes and bring a change of clothes if they plan to walk in the water. The site also has a snack bar, lockers, and a souvenir shop
