In the morning, starting at 06:40 a.m., you will be pick up at your hotel or nearest point and you will begin the excursion to Golan Heights.
The tour begins as you leave Tel-Aviv traveling north on the coastal road along the Mediterranean Sea. You will turn inland and travel through the plain of Armageddon as mentioned in Revelations. From here you can see Megiddo site of an ancient biblical city .When you reach the southernmost point of the Sea of Galilee you will stop to look down on the sea from above and take in the gorgeous pastoral vista. The panoramic view which lies before you has the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) in the foreground and the undulating Golan Heights forming a dramatic backdrop.
You will cross the Jordan River at the foot of the Golan Heights and begin your ascent passing through Hamat Gader. a popular spa destination just as it was for the Romans almost 2000 years ago. You will continue through the lush green countryside until you reach the Shalom Observatory. From here you will have a stunning view looking back at the Sea of Galilee beneath you. It is easy to understand the strategic importance of the Heights as you see the Israeli city of Tiberias in the distance on the edge of the Sea of Galilee.
Youo will travel on to Katzrin where excavations have uncovered a village from the Mishnah and Talmud periods. The village has been partially restored and you can see the archaeological findings which include a synagogue, houses and an oil press. Here you can also see evidence of former volcanic activity in the Golan Heights as black basalt rock forms part of the landscape. Katzrin is sometimes called the Capital of the Golan. As far back as the Middle Bronze Age this location has been occupied, and later the Romans, Mamluks, Ottomans and even French have ruled this picturesque city.
You will continue to Mount Bental to see what remains of Syrian fortifications. The Syrian bunkers, base and trenches were captured by the Israeli's in the Six Day War of 1967. From here you can see how close Syria is, as you look down on the Syrian city of Kuneitra just beyond the Canadian UN forces which have protected this peaceful border since the cease fire in 1974.
After this amazing day full of history and beautiful landscapes you will return to your Hotel in Tel Aviv or nearest point.
Greca Tip: Don't miss the oportunity of taking panoramic photos from the Golan Heights, the result is incredible.
