I have visited Acre several times, and always been taken to see the Jail but on this visit, we saw this quite unique Synagogue. Every surface, floors, walls and ceilings are in magnificent mosaic, showing scenes from the Old Testament and other day to day scenes. Well worth a visit.

At the entrance to the famous market, in a building more than 100 years-old, JNF has built a new tourist information center to provide visitors with information on where to go, what to do and where to stay in the Western Galilee. The center is operated by the non-profit organization Western Galilee Now (see below) Boutique Tourist Association.

The Othoman ruler of Akko Ahmad Al Jasar has build the the old city of Akko above the Crusadors city in the 18th century. By this occasion the Mosque named after him was errected above the destroyed St John Church.inside the Mosque there is a box containing the hair from the beard of the Prophet Mohammad and for this reason the mosque built in a tipical Othoman style is considered as very holy in the Moslem World

This Khan is a wonderful example of the attempts made by the Ottomans to link all the places of their empire with the help of trade. (Of course, you may call this exploitation.) Its architecture justly deserves the title "world heritage". The clock tower was built at the beginning of the 20th century to celebrate Sultan Abdülhamid's accession to the throne some 25 years before. Thus it can be called a "relative" of the clock towers in Izmir/Turkey or Jaffa.
