The Golan Heights and the Huleh basin, situated on the Syrian-African rift, were formed by volcanic activity, earthquakes, and an uplifting of entire regions of the earth’s surface. They combine natural beauty, the sources of the Jordan River and the beginning of Biblical history. It is here that Abraham first crossed into the Promised Land.

The region served as a crossroads and meeting point for the civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt and throughout human history has witnessed countless battles. King Solomon found it necessary to fortify this important thoroughfare - the Via Maris - at the biblical city of Hazor.
