Day 8
From Dan to the Golan
Dan Nature Reserve -- one of the finest examples of a biblical city and the capital of the Northern Kingdom, Dan's "Abraham Gate" (Gen. 14:14) is the second-oldest arch in the world. Also visit the Israelite gateway and the High Place of Jeroboam in their tranquil Dan River setting.
Katzrin -- a Talmudic-era Golan Heights village, Katzrin's reconstructed house and synagogue create a three-dimensional perspective on ancient life.
Gamla Nature Reserve -- called "the Massada of the north" because of Josephus' description of its famous last stand, a hike leads to Gamla, which boasts remains of the earliest synagogue ever found, ramparts that held back the Romans, and olive presses that were the town's livelihood.
Umm el-Qanatir -- a Talmudic-era town with unusual synagogue remains and unique finds, this site is now undergoing excavation using cutting-edge techniques and technology.
