A tel is a hill built by cities, one rebuilt on top of the last until the mound itself is the history. Tel Arad’s fortress and lower city, its walls and workshops and storage rooms, still readable from the hilltop. Then Tel Beer Sheva, layered from the Canaanite period through the Ottomans, among the oldest continuously inhabited sites anywhere. One guide, one itinerary, built around how long you want at each layer. Move fast through what doesn’t hold you, slow down through what does. It’s your day, walking two mounds that were once two cities.
Your Noah Tours guide will pick you up from your hotel to start the tour.
