A Hidden Castle in Israel’s Northern Mountains?

A stunning castle on a mountain surrounded by forests and waterfalls? No, this isn’t out of a fairytale! Experience the history & beauty Castle with us on this exclusive mini-tour.
This is a castle built by the Ayyubids and hugely enlarged by the Mamluks, situated on the southern slopes of Mount Hermon, on a ridge rising about 800 meters above sea level. It overlooks the Golan Heights and was built with the purpose of guarding a major access route to Damascus against armies coming from the west.
