Attractions
Built over a 40,000 square feet (3,700 m) area on three levels, the park resembles a king's palace. The palace has five sections:
- Journey To The Past
A journey back to the era of the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt via a four-dimensional display composed of huge panoramic screens that create the impression of floating above Pharaoh' palaces and temples.
- Cave Of Illusions And Wisdom
This cave was constructed to celebrate and honor the wisdom of King Solomon, and includes over 70 displays of optical illusions, labyrinths, self tests and other interactive challenges.
- Bible Cave
A journey deep into the ground and through King Solomon's mines, with famous Bible scenes displayed in niches carved into the walls.
- King Solomon's Waterfalls
A boat ride that follows the life story of King Solomon. Visitors sail through seven caves, each marking a chapter in the life of King Solomon, and complete the experience by gliding down the falls to the King Solomon lake next to his castle. (For safety reasons, the minimum height is 120 cm.)
- Spiral of David Slides
Two Dry slides that start from over approximately 66 feet. The sliding speed is up to 31 mph, and the slides end on the Cave Of Illusions And Wisdom.
