Pool of Al Anazia

Top choice in Israel


Atmospheric and shaded by ancient stone structures, the 'Pool of Arches' is an underground 8th-century reservoir. The most significant structure left from the Abbasid period, it is sometimes called the Pool of St Helena in reference to the Christian idea that the Empress Helena, mother of Constantine I, ordered its construction. Visitors explore the structure by rowboat, which is included in the price.
