The Golan
The Golan Heights, a captivating region that has been the subject of controversy since the Six-Day War, when Israel captured and de facto annexed it. This enclave is distinguished by its breathtaking beauty and rich history, housing scenic treasures and archaeological sites that attract numerous visitors.
With a total of 62 ancient synagogues dating back to the Roman and Byzantine periods, the region offers a unique experience. From the heights, the view becomes more and more magnificent, with volcanic hills on the eastern edge and basalt cliffs descending towards the Jordan Valley, Lake Kinneret, and the Yarmouk River in the south and west.
Along the Golan, there are several options for tourist activities throughout the year. In winter, ski enthusiasts and professionals converge on the snow-capped Hermon Mountain, while in summer, hikers can enjoy refreshing swims in the natural streams. Spring offers plains covered in multicolored flowers, and in autumn, the pleasant weather invites you to explore the many wooded trails.
​The summit of Mount Bental provides a panoramic view, while the Saar, Zavitan and Meshushim rivers wind in cascades through impressive canyons. For wine lovers, the Golan Vineyard, established in 1983, is a must-see destination.
With a visitor center that offers tours of the wineries and wine tastings, this place allows visitors to learn about the production process and purchase products directly from the producer.
Those exploring the Golan Heights can choose to stay in cozy rural guesthouses, explore archaeological sites such as Banias, Gamla and Beit Tsida, as well as unique nature reserves. Culinary diversity is also present in a wide variety of local restaurants.
In addition, Druze hospitality can be experienced in the picturesque villages of the northern Golan. In short, the region offers a complete experience that combines history, nature, and culture.
