Entrance to the Bahai temple in Acre, where the founder of the religion is buried. For that reason this is the holiest place among the followers of the religion.

Entrance of the teple itself, this is where the founder is buried.

A water reservoir at a dam from the late Roman era.

An unfinished canal at the dam. It's unfinished because of an construction error so it's only 260 meters long.

A lake at the dam. It looks like a tropical oasis! There are catfishes and other (beautiful) fishes in the lake.
