Hazor - The Site

The entrance to the excavation site at Hazor, which covers a considerable area, is on the west side of the tell. The custodian who sells the tickets can also give information about the site. Further information is provided by large display boards with layout plans at the various excavated areas.

Hazor consisted of an upper town (600m/660yds long by up to 200m/220yds across) and a lower town (700m/765yds by 1,000m/1,100yds) to the north and east. The most impressive parts of the site for the ordinary visitor are sections A, B and L in the upper town and H in the lower town.
