Facilities for the Disabled
Every municipality in Israel invests a lot of time, effort, and resources, into making services more accessible regardless of disability.
As an example, the fortress known as Masada (near the Dead Sea), is accessible via cable car. The amphitheater in Caesaria and the Knight Halls of Acre (Akko) can also be accessed without any issues.
Banks and other businesses have equipment for people with hearing impediments, and most corners in the streets have comfortable access for wheelchairs. Traffic lights have indicators for blind people, and in general, people with visual disabilities can touch and feel their surroundings thanks to the many adaptations the country has done to accommodate to their needs.
