Mediterranean Sea Our tour begins as we leave Tel-Aviv traveling north on the coastal road along the Mediterranean Sea and passing the cities of Hertzilya and Natanya. We turn inland and travel through the plain of Armageddon as mentioned in Revelations.
Megiddo, Megiddo, Israel From here we can see Megiddo site of an ancient Biblical city
Jordan Valley, Israel Travel through the Jordan Valley
Sea of Galilee, Tiberias, Israel .When we reach the southernmost point of the Sea of Galilee we stop to look down on the sea from above and take in the gorgeous pastoral vista. The panoramic view which lies before us has the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) in the foreground and the undulating Golan Heights forming a dramatic backdrop.
Hamat Gader Park, Tiberias, Israel We cross the Jordan River at the foot of the Golan Heights and begin our ascent passing through Hamat Gader.
Today Hamat Gader is a popular spa destination just as it was for the Romans almost 2000 years ago. We continue on through the lush green countryside until we reach the Shalom Observatory. From here we have a stunning view looking back at the Sea of Galilee beneath us. It is easy to understand the strategic importance of the Heights as we see the Israeli city of Tiberias in the distance on the edge of the Sea of Galilee.
Ancient Katzrin Village and Synagogue, Katzrin We travel on to Katzrin where excavations have uncovered a village from the Mishnah and Talmud periods. The village has been partially restored and we can see the archaeological findings which include a synagogue, houses and an oil press. Here we can also see evidence of former volcanic activity in the Golan Heights as black basalt rock forms part of the landscape. 30 minutes
מרכז מסחרי הישן איתן, Qatsrin Katzrin, a city sometimes referred to as 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. Here we visit the Golan Antiquities Museum where we see findings from the region and the nearby archeological site. The museum displays artifacts and has audiovisual presentations about the city of Gamla. We learn of Gamla, the historic Second Temple Era Jewish city which has been excavated nearby. 30 minutes
Mount Bental We 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 we can see how close Syria is as we 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. 40 minutes

Great landmarks seen. Tour guide was very knowledgable and Tour guide was opinionated even though he started off saying he wasn't. Also at the winery / lunch stop he was very rude to the staff at the chocolate place there who was just answering customers' questions.

Our guide, Zahi ( or Issac), was wonderful in his enthusiasm, and with his knowledge, made it such an experience. He took us slightly off the routine, to have lunch at a good, local, and no tourist location, except for us...we went to several locations off the routine.....sit on an old Isreali tank......see Jordan from a different bunker, and be near the past border with Jordan. These non routine visits are what I appreciate most...it was more of an adventure.
Great day thanks to Zahi.
