Gush Etzion Well's Aqueduct

The aqueduct consists of a network of carved tunnels and channels designed to transport water from natural springs to urban settlements through the hills.

The aqueduct dates back to the Herodian period when it formed part of a sophisticated system carrying water from the Hebron Hills to Jerusalem.

The structure represents early engineering achievements in water management and demonstrates the ingenuity of ancient civilizations in addressing water supply needs.

Visitors can access the interior passages of the aqueduct, with guided tours available to explain the engineering methods used in its construction.

The aqueduct maintains sections where people can wade through the water channels, experiencing the same paths water followed during ancient times.
