1. Manara Cliff

Reviewed By AlexJDKing - Jerusalem, Israel
My extended family of six people paid in advance for a "triple" deal which included the cable car, a "train tour" and the bob-sleigh-on-train-track activity. The cost was 122 sheqels (31 dollars) per person but we got discounted tickets (71 sheqels) though my wife's work. We arrived shortly after opening time (11:00). We spent half an hour queuing to change our tickets for vouchers, then another half an hour queuing for the cable car. The cable car ride was OK, but we could have actually driven our car up to the Manara village for free. When we got to the top of the cliff we had to register and wait 2 hrs for the "train tour". During this time we waited an hour for a "guided tour by foot" which was 15 minutes late: And what was this tour: a "guide" took us for a 10 meter walk to the back of the cafe to show us the view - really disappointing! And the train tour was a 20 minute drive in a trolley attached to a tractor, and the driver couldn't even get the mp3 tracks for the "guided tour" correct. We saw the border with Lebanon which was interesting... but why did we have to wait so long for this when the tractor was sitting empty waiting all this time. Also at the top there was a bit of painting for the kids to do and a broken neglected crazy golf set and a pathetic excuse for a "slackline". The pièce de résistance was the "bobsleigh". We spent OVER AN HOUR waiting in line like sardines for a rubbish 2 minute ride. I get more of a thrill riding my bike. By the time it was over there was no time left for 4 or our 6 persons to go on this ride as the park was closing. I understand I could have paid DOUBLE the entrance fee for some "extreme" sports which would be completely unsuitable for grandparents or for small children.

3. Kibbutz Misgav Am

Reviewed By Simon M - Lucerne, Switzerland
We spent a morning in Misgav Am, overlooking the Lebanese Border and listening to a Kibbutz Member telling us about Life in a war-Zone, with pointing out current Hisbollah activities just a few hundred meters away. Seeing UN-Convoys, Hisbollah Flags, smoke clouds and Hearing gun shots, this is both a scary but impressive experience.
