Ideas for Tours of Israel : Golan Tour

Looking for something new in Israel that you will not normally see on a standard tour ?

You should visit the beautiful region of the Golan.  This is radically different from any other visit to Israel, the volcanic soil and amazing view across the Golan plateau make it unlike any  other region in Israel.

This is a very versatile tour; allowing for changes based on the need of the group. This would be the perfect family  tour for any time of year especially the Jewis holiday season.

Description of the Day:

We start early in the morning for a picturesque ride to the North.

Ou first stop will be for a brief overview at the Gadot Lookout military memorial to explain the History and Geography of the area.

We begin a hike of the Jilabun stream at an abandoned Syrian military base (ideally before midday, when it gets too hot) we hike through a grove of Eucalyptus trees down a dirt path that follows the Jilabun stream past a beautiful waterfall to a pool, where we can have a nice dip! The route that we take is normally the circular route.

After lunch in Qatrsin we have a choice of a number, though not all, of the following options:

    • A visit to Golan wineries where we can sample some of the best wine that Israel has to offer at a world renowned vineyard.
    • A Tour of the Qatsrin Talmudic Village and at certain times of the year  we can participate in various hands on workshops about life in the time of the Talmud.
    • A Tour of the Golan Brewery, an experience unique to this region, where you can taste beers that completely change your perspective of Israeli beer.
    • An overview of the politics of the region at the Har Bental military base overlooking the demilitarized zone with Syria.
    • A visit to a Chocolate ‘farm’.
