Full description
Embark on an exclusive Golan Heights tour that commences with a scenic drive north through the verdant Galilee countryside. Marvel at the picturesque landscapes adorned with vineyards, farmlands, and forests, all while passing memorials paying homage to fallen soldiers and historic battles.
Our journey leads us to the Banias Nature Reserve nestled on the slopes of Mount Hermon, Israel's highest peak. Here, the Banias Springs weave through lush vegetation and forests, creating a serene backdrop. Immerse yourself in the idyllic setting as we embark on a walking tour, discovering the park's ancient temple dedicated to the Greek god Pan, and marveling at cascading waterfalls and babbling streams.
Next, we venture to Nimrod's Fortress, a castle with a rich history spanning two millennia. Originally built around 2000 years ago, it was reconstructed under the Ayyubid dynasty in the 13th century. Witness the fortress's resilience as it withstood occupations by the Mongols and Mamluks, later serving as an Ottoman prison before being abandoned in the 16th century. Walk through the excavated and restored remnants before heading to the Ram Lake lookout point for a delightful lunch break.
At Lake Ram or Birkat el-Ram, discover the intriguing myths and legends surrounding this crater lake filled with rainwater and an underground spring. Learn about the remarkable archaeological findings that have been uncovered here, all expertly narrated by your PRO tour guide.
Our journey continues to Mount Bental, the site of a former Syrian outpost captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967. Explore the abandoned Syrian bunkers and fortifications, gazing across the border into Syria and enjoying panoramic views of Israel's farmlands, rolling hills, and small lakes.
Before our return, we visit Mtzpe Gadot (Gadot Lookout), a former Syrian army base turned into a strategic vantage point. Witness the monument honoring the Golan Brigade soldiers and take in breathtaking panoramic views of Jordan, the Hula Valley, and the Golan. This customized private tour offers the best of the Golan Heights with your personal guide.
Note that while this itinerary is thoughtfully crafted by our experts, customization options abound, allowing you to explore more of Northern Israel, from the Tel Dan Nature Reserve to the ancient Katzrin synagogue, indulge in delectable cuisine in Majdal Shams, experience Druze hospitality, and much more (details in the FAQ section). Your journey is tailored to provide an unforgettable exploration
