You can combine stunning viewpoints, unique local flora and fauna, history, and more. In addition, we offer tours to water springs in the summer, mud tours in the winter, and even snow tours when it snows. Each Jeep is driven by our own professional driver. One of our tours get to the border between Israel and Syria, learning a little about the Agriculture of the Golan and also we talk about the situation in the region.

This site on the Golan Heights is a must-visit when touring the area. The name in Hebrew' Ein Kshatot, literally translates to The Arches Spring, where ancient arches were built on the pool surrounding the spring, and recently restored. The main attraction of the site, of course, is the incredible restoration of a 5th-century Jewish synagogue, built by the local community which served also as the focal point of the village. The synagogue was destroyed in 749 when a powerful earthquake hit the northern parts of Israel, then under the Bagdad Caliphate, and left the site in total ruins for over 1250 years. A photo taken in 1905 by a famous British archeologist shows a heap of rubble in the midst of thrown stones nearby. The Israeli antiquities authority, together with the local community and archeologists took the project of restoration 10 years ago, using modern technology, as putting chips in the ancients stones and by 3D imaging and painstaking work over a decade managed to restore the old synagogue into its former glory, less the roof. But what the architects had done was a feat in itself. They have built a beautiful modern visitors' center on the western slope of the ridge below the skyline so it is not seen from the road and blends beautifully with the scenery. From the center, the whole compound can be viewed, and marked trails take you, firstly to the spring and the two restored arches, and from there to the synagogue site itself. Splendid work, worth every minute of very impressive attraction.

This ridge top walk is one of most spectacular hikes in the world for history buffs, birders, and anyone who enjoys dramatic scenery. It's an easy walk along a ridgetop to the fascinating ruins of the ancient Jewish village with spectacular views of the Kinneret/Sea of Galilee and good birding the whole way.

Few years ago, one could see and hear the unrest on the Syrian side from here. Israel has been taken in thousands of wounded Syrians and providing them with medical treatment which wouldn't be available to them anywhere else. Mt Bental - the battle itself was held during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. It was one of the largest tank battles ever and was miraculously won by the Israelis (160 tanks). The Syrians attacked with 1,500 tanks and 1,000 artillery pieces. The Israeli army suffered large casualties as well and by the time the battle was over, only 7 Israeli tanks were operational. After 900 of the Syrian tanks were destroyed, the Syrians turned and fled, leaving the land for the victorious Israelis. Today, to remember the bloody battle, the valley below the mountain is called the Valley of Tears. Certainly worth a visit!!!! Keep in mind, it gets cold and windy on the top of the Mt. Bental.
9. Yehudia Forest Reserve

4.5 based on 47 reviews
Deep ravines cross the center of the rocky Golan Heights, through which waterfalls flow into deep pools. Between the canyons, a park forest of Mt Tabor oaks grows on the heights. This is the largest nature reserve on the Golan Heights, well-loved by Israeli hikers.

We did the intermediate trail instead of descending directly to the main waterfall. Wear sturdy shoes if you do this trail -- part of he trail involves wading through a stream with many hidden and slippery boulders underfoot. The small pools along the way were perfect for kids to swim in, as they were not too deep. Later, the main large pool provided refreshing swim. The ravine through which the Yehudiya Rover flows is deep and well-shaded. Although I miss the old Yehudiya trail (which was, unfortunately, destroyed by rock slides a few years ago), this new trail is still fun, albeit less challenging. The facilities are basic, but very clean.
