Rosh Hanikra train tunnels, Railway tunnel complex in Mateh Asher Regional Council, Israel
The Rosh Hanikra train tunnels extend 200 meters through limestone cliffs, connecting the coastal region to northern sections of Israel near the Lebanese border.
British engineers constructed these railway tunnels in 1941 to establish a transportation route between Haifa and Beirut during the British Mandate period.
The tunnels stand within the traditional territory of the Tribe of Asher, now part of the Mateh Asher Regional Council that manages multiple settlements and communities.
Visitors can access the tunnels through organized tours that provide information about the construction methods and engineering techniques used in their creation.
The tunnel system cuts through natural rock formations where the Mediterranean Sea meets the cliffs, creating a junction of geological and industrial elements.
