Its construction uncovered many fascinating remains from the Hasmonean, Hellenistic, and Roman periods, including a farmhouse with an oil press, an industrial winepress, and more. These findings are now on display, with walking paths and shaded seating having been built all around, as well as a little playground and benches for the benefit of locals and visitors alike.

Where to eat Alaesh Located in the heart of the city’s industrial zone, this kosher steakhouse is surprisingly good, serving incredibly delicious, well crafted dishes in a warm and cozy atmosphere, including a rich variety of salads, dips, and appetizers, a selection of quality cuts of meat such as hanger steak skewers,

hamburgers with foie gras and onion jam, and beef fillet. You can order each dish separately, or share a meat platter with entrecote skewers, hanger steak, chicken skewers, souvlaki skewers, lamb kebab, and merguez sausages. The tabun-baked laffa flatbreads are unmissable, the drinks’ menu is rich and varied, and the kids’ menu includes chicken wing skewers, mini schnitzels, burgers and fries, and more. alaeshgrill.co.il, @alaesh.grill ˆ
