This Golan Heights tour sets off traveling north and takes you up the coast before turning inland and traveling through the Plain of Armageddon and past Megiddo. We travel through the green pastures and rolling hills of Galilee and look down on the Sea of Galilee. To the east of the Sea of Galilee, the Golan Heights await us. We make our way up the Golan Heights through the small communities, vineyards, farmlands, and forests.
We pass Hamat Gader famed for its hot springs that have been enjoyed by man since the Roman era. We reach Shalom Observatory high on the basalt cliffs of the Golan. It is clear why this point is of such strategic importance as we can even see as far as Tiberias on the opposite shore of the Sea of Galilee.
The next stop on this Golan Heights tour is Katzrin, the site of excavations that revealed a settlement from the 1st-century Mishnah and 4th-century Talmudic periods. Parts of the village have been restored including the synagogue, homes, and an ancient oil press. We stop in modern-day Katzrin to visit the local sites.
The tour continues to Mount Bental where parts of the Syrian fortifications have remained. We walk through the remaining Syrian bunkers and trenches captured by Israelis in the 1967 Six-Day War. Since 1974 this has been a peaceful border and from this elevated location we can look over into neighboring Syria; the Syrian capital is just 50 km from here. The Golan Heights tour comes to an end as we drive through the lush countryside leaving the Galilee behind and make our way back towards Tel Aviv.
