About
Rosh HaNikra, perched on Israel’s far northwestern Mediterranean coast at the border with Lebanon, is a striking natural and historical landmark. Famous for its dazzling chalk-white cliffs and sea grottoes, carved over millennia by the relentless waves, it offers visitors a breathtaking blend of nature and geology. Accessible by one of the world’s steepest cable cars, the grottoes reveal shimmering turquoise waters and echoing caves that create an unforgettable atmosphere. Beyond its natural beauty, Rosh HaNikra holds historical significance as part of the ancient Via Maris trade route, the site of a British railway tunnel during World War II, and a symbolic border crossing. Today, it is a beloved tourist attraction and nature reserve, where history, ecology, and dramatic landscapes converge.
