Arbel Cliffs
Standing 700 feet above the Sea of Galilee, the Cliffs of Arbel provide a panoramic view stretching from the Golan Heights to the Jordan River valley. The snow-capped Mount Herman can be seen in the distance on clear days.Descending the cliff side you can see 17th century cliff dwellings built by the Druze as well as possible earlier Jewish dwellings. The historian Josephus documented the Roman conquest of Hasmonean rebels living in the cliffs in the 1st century.Links:
