A fascinating trip to the cemetery of Gidona under the guidance of Moshe Hominer, the director of the tour center. And, of course, the 'Here we build Zionism' attraction - a fun family activity. Together we will go back to the 'Wall and Tower' settlement period, discover the weapon stashes, solve riddles, build the wall and raise the tower.
