Yehiam Fortress — Attraction in Mate Asher Regional Council

Interesting Fortress, not in the Top 10 sites in Israel, still in the Top 50. There are so many World Class sites in Israel: Metsada, Caesaria, Beit Shean, Avdat, Kumran, too many to list all of them here. They are more worth your time than this fortress. But if you pass in this region, and if you've already seen the other National Parks, then Yehi'am becomes definitely a must.

An explenation folder will be handed out to the visitors upon arival and payment. Average clean toilets and drinking water is availeble for free. Suits for a visit of about 2 hours and there are places to sit and enjoy a picnic. Traveling with pets, call or check on internet if its alowed to...
