Ganei HaNadiv (Ramat HaNadiv) is the name of the gardens that in my opinion, are the most beautiful gardens in Israel. Amazing, well-kept, and most spectacular gardens. The gardens are a memorial site to Baron Edmund de Rothschild and his wife, and in the center of the gardens is the tomb where their bones, which were brought to Israel in 1954, were buried. The tomb cave was hewn in the highest rocky area in the complex and around it are located stylish gardens on various topics such as: the Rose Garden, the Palm Garden, the Waterfall Garden, the Engagement garden and the most special of them all, is the Scent Garden, intended mainly for the blinds. The gardens have an abundance of stunning vegetation, rest areas and picnic areas. Suitable for a trip with children. Spectacular views on one hand mountains in the east and on the west views to the sea. Highly recommended for spending days and evenings. NOT 2 B MISSED.

I have been there three times in two different escape rooms. The rooms contain many puzzles and quizzes. Most of them different kind of codes using numbers and letters. We succeed to achieve the goal of each room. It was a great fun and up to five people it is reasonable to work this out ( although on one occasion we were only three and we also succeeded ). Many of the puzzles use logics and mathematics and you use your left hemisphere of your brain most of the time.The scenery is quite nice. It is great fun also for kids around 9-10 years old and above.

This is an explanatory movie and tour of the home and grounds of a Jewish family that spied on the Turks for the British in the first part of the 20th century. I'm so glad I got to see it and you will be too!

Museum was made very well with intricate figurines, movies, and exhibits. The museum taught me all about the struggles the early pioneers faced, things I was unfamiliar with before.
8. Dor Habonim Beach Nature Reserve
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 87 reviews
The nature reserve is a beautiful and picturesque beach, a coastal strip with more bays and inlets than any other in Israel. Wild, primeval scenery and unique natural values are intertwined here, and walking trails and campgrounds have been set up for visitors. Alongside this nature reserve are the Dor Habonim marine nature reserve, and Tel Dor National Park.
