Megiddo is located 30Km south east of Haifa, and is located at a strategic entrance through the eastern Carmel hills where an ancient trade road (Via Maris) links the North (Syria and Assyria) and South (Egypt). In this site an important City once flourished from the bronze ages and biblical periods, and mentioned in the Old Testament as a strong City that played an important role in the history of the Biblical Israel. It was abandoned after the Persian times since the site was relocated in nearby locations. This left the foundations of the city virtually intact from the biblical times.
Today, this Tell (a layered hill with ruins of ancient cities) is an archeological park. A modern highway passes at the exact same point, and a modern Kibbutz with the same name is located nearby.
