A wonderful way to gain a bird’s eye view of Israel is by taking a leisurely ride in a cable car. There are five vantage points across the country which afford you stunning views across diverse and beautiful landscapes.
Rosh Hanikra Cable Car
The Rosh HaNikra cable car is a cable car serving tourists wishing to visit the grottoes. The cable car is situated very close to the Lebanese border. The site is popular with tourists, and is one of the facilities available for tourists in Kibbutz Rosh HaNikra.
Manara Cable Car
Israel’s longest cable-car ride runs a 1,940-meter route above the Galilee’s verdant and flowering terrain. Located on the Manara cliff between Rosh Pina and Kiryat Shmona, this cable car lets riders catch brilliant panoramic views of the Hula Valley and Golan Heights from an altitude of 750 meters.

Haifa Cable Car
The Stella Maris cable car in Haifa is the cheapest cable railway ride you’ll find in Israel but does not scrimp on the views. Actually, the short ride offers gorgeous vistas of Mount Carmel’s slopes, the Haifa Bay and the beach below. The cable car route connects the Bat Galim Promenade and the Stella Maris lookout on Mount Carmel. https://101israel.com/haifa-cable-cars/
Mount Hermon Cable Car
Although best known as Israel’s only ski site, Mount Hermon is open year round and offers amazing views from its 2,814-meter perch. Ride a cable car up the mountain and check out the flowers, fauna and landscape below. You can actually see three countries from above: Israel, Syria and Lebanon. https://skihermon.co.il/
Masada Cable Car
Rosh Hanikra and Masada cable car rides are the most popular in the country. The fastest way up to the top of this world-famous archaeological site is to ride the cable car. And the panoramic views of the desert from above are well worth the journey. The cable car runs from the tourist center at the foot of the UNESCO World Heritage Site to the top of the plateau. https://en.parks.org.il/reserve-park/masada-national-park/
