Reviews

Assif Am-David (Israel):
The triple arch of Dan is the earliest arch construction in the world. It is rooted in a relativly large brick building which is fairly impressive. Nearby are other ruins of the tell which demonstrate the striving culture this fertile area used to have. The beautiful Dan river crosses the archaeological reserve. All in all, a nice trip to remember.
