    Hi Gabriel, that was amazing those Templar tunnels were used to bring gold in from the shore without being seen the harbor had an incredible fortress to defend the city and of course, they built many castle forts in and around Europe and the Middle East there is one near you Belvoir Castle located in Belvoir National Park. A critical port to the Mediterranean Sea where the Crusaders made their way around Europe and the Middle East.

    Those walkways alone are special. The age and history - imagine the thousands of people who have walked those stone streets... That was actually my favorite part of the Louvre when I lived in Paris: the steps leading up to the victory statue. There was this indentation in the stone from the amount of people who have walked up and down those steps. I've never forgotten that feeling. Templar history is so fascinating and the church is breathtaking. I really want to visit this city now that you've shared all of the Crusader history.

  • @AndreGerritzen

    When i saw you crawling to the tunnel i remebered the Hiskia tunnel i walked through in jersualem. It is an old water tunnel from 800 b.c and over 500m long.
    When you google it the most pictures show a dry tunnel, but when i visited it the water breast high and one of my smaller companion has to swim over 100m.
    It was very refreshing on this hot summer day. It had rained a few days earlier so the tunnel has more water than usual.
    So when you next time in jerusalem this tunnel is something that´s fits perfect in your fascination for caves and tunnels.

    • @AndreGerritzen

    You know Gabe is an experienced traveller when he points out the headache that you have to deal with on the OUTBOUND flight at Ben Gurion. First time I went to Israel as an Asian American they let me in with no questions asked when I landed. So I thought to myself, hmm that's peculiar, especially since I have tons of stamps from Muslim countries. I didn't realize it would be so easy to get into Israel. Fast forward a week later, when I went to Ben Gurion to catch my flight to London, EVERYBODY is grilled thoroughly, even local Israelis! I was interrogated so thoroughly and they went page by page in my passport to ask me why I went to all of these Muslim countries and who I knew there. Then full body scan and swabbing of all of my belongings. It's the OUTBOUND flight you have to prepare for in Israel.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos

      Strangely, I had no issues entering or leaving Israel. I was prepared for an interrogation before catching my flight out but it was super smooth, just a few basic questions. Fine with me.

Do you mean the place you're going next in the car that day, or the place you're flying to from Tel Aviv? If it's the latter (and assuming it's non-Schengen), would that mean Tunisia?
