How to get there? Drive on Road 89 from Nahariya towards Mizrah/Safed. A little before Hurfeish, turn left on Road 8925 in the direction of Fassuta/Alkosh/Abirim. You pass Alkosh and Fassuta and a little before the entrance to Abirim there is a green sign with a cattle gate next to it. There you can park the car and start the route from there. Walk about 150 meters until you reach a sign that says Knights side, turn right there and after 50 meters you will arrive at the site.
Masad Abirim dates from the Byzantine Roman period (2000-1500 years ago), built of huge stones. When climbing the walls of the building, a breathtaking view opens before us. The walk to Masad is through a Mediterranean forest where you can see blossoms before the season of the year and be impressed by oak trees and cattails.
