The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan takes its name from this river The Jordan River is 251 kilometres (156 miles) long. it arises from a spring at Banias at the foot of Mount Hermon. The river drops rapidly in a 75 kilometre run to swampy Lake Hula, which is slightly above sea level. Exiting the lake, it drops much more in 25 kilometres to the Sea of Galilee. The last section has less gradient, and the river meanders before entering the Dead Sea, about 422 metres below sea level, which has no outlet. Two major tributaries enter from the east during this last section: the Yarmouk River and Jabbok River. Its section north of the Sea of Galilee (Hebrew: כינרת kinneret, arabic: Bohayrat Tabaraya, meaning Lake of Tiberias) is within the boundaries of Israel, and forms the western boundary of the Golan Heights. South of the lake, it forms the border between the Kingdom of Jordan (to the east) and Isr

Bird Migration station , upper Galilee , Israel , Northernmost rest area in the Great Rift Valley (Syrio African Rift)

Migrating Birds arriving at the Hula Valley Lake Park, known in Hebrew as Agamon HaHula ,It is located in the southern part of the Hula Valley, north of the nature reserve. In the early 1990s part of the valley was flooded again in the wake of heavy rains. It was decided to develop the surrounding area and leave the flooded area intact. The new site has become the second home for thousands of migrating birds in the autumn and spring. The lake covers an area of one square kilometer interspersed with islands that serve as protected bird nesting sites. It has become a major stopover for migrating birds flying from Europe to Africa and back, and also a major birdwatching site.

Tel Hazor, also Hatzor, ancient Hazor, Israel. Upper Galilee, Sea of Galilee, designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as part of the Biblical Tels - Megiddo, Hazor, Beer Sheba. Canaan, Joshua, King Solomon, King Ahab, Sisera,

Tel Hazor is a tell above the site of ancient Hazor, whose archaeological remains are the largest and richest known in modern Israel. Hazor was an ancient city located in the Upper Galilee, north of the Sea of Galilee. The city shows signs of having been a magnificent Canaanite city prior to its destruction, with great temples and opulent palaces,split into an upper acropolis, and lower city; the town evidently had been a major Canaanite city. According to the Books of Kings, the town, along with Megiddo, and Gezer, was later substantially fortified and expanded by King Solomon.By reference to the Books of Kings, some archaeologists conclude that these remains verify the Biblical account.

massive building blocks carved out of black basalt in a private dwelling Korazim is now the site of a National Archaeological Park.Extensive excavations and a survey were carried out at in 1962-1964. Excavations at the site were resumed in 1980-1987. The site is an excavated ruin today, but was inhabited starting in the 1st century. The majority of the structures are made from black basalt, a volcanic rock found locally. The main settlement dates to the 3rd and 4th centuries. A mikvah, or ritual bath, was also found at the site. The handful of olive millstones used in olive oil extraction found suggest a reliance on the olive for economic purposes, like a number of other villages in ancient Galilee. The large, impressive Synagogue which was built with black basalt stones and decorated with Jewish motifs is the most striking survival. Close by is a ritual bath, surrounded by public and residential buildings. The synagogue was built in the late 3rd century, destroyed in the 4th century, and rebuilt in the 6th century. An unusual feature in an ancient synagogue is the presence of three-dimensional sculpture,images of wine-making, animals, a Medusa, an armed soldier, and an eagle.
