Hike on Mount Arbel and the tomb of Jethro

Tomb of Jethro: A visit to the grave of Moses’s father-in-law, is a totally new experience .It is the holiest spot on earth for the Druze faith , located next to the Horns of Hittim , west of Tiberias. Every year on April 25 Druze faithful gather here to celebrate their faith. The Druze community is proud to be an inseparable part of modern Israeli society , including service in the IDF, and extend warm hospitality to their Jewish brethren.

On this hike we will also asccend to the top of Mount Arbel, for a magnificent view over the Golan Heights, the Sea of Galilee, the Galilee itself, Tiberias, Safed and Moutn Miron. The site is known in history as the “Cave Fortress” where the Jewish rebels against the Roman Empire excavated caves for hiding and shelter.

Hiking options include a walk around the top of this nature reserve, a steep descent ( at some points with ladders!) to reach the Arbel Eye water springs. First and Second Temple era ruins are spread throughout the reserve.
