Golan Heights

Visit Banias (Caesarea Philippi), where St. Peter received from Christ the keys to the kingdom of heaven. See the place from which another main source of the Jordan River springs out, and follow the water in a relaxing short walk.  

Go through the Druze villages near Mount Hermon and learn about their unique tradition. Take the beautiful view of the Golan Heights and Syria from top of one of the many volcanoes (inactive now�) and understand our problems with Syria since the 1920's.
 


Watch how mighty vultures glide gently through Gamla Canyon, look at the ancient Jewish town of Gamla and hear of its desperate heroic struggle against the Romans at 67 C.E 
 


Visit the Talmudic 4th century village of Qatzrin, its lovely museum and modern winey and mineral water plant.
Watch the Sea of Galilee from an extraordinary point of view on top of the plataeu and descend to the famous (ancient & modern) thermal baths of Hammat Gader.
