The tallest peak in Israel — snow-capped and majestic
Northern IsraelHistorically Verified
The tallest peak in the region at over 9,000 feet. Ancient Assyrian and Egyptian texts mention it, and remains of temples have been found on its slopes.
A massive mountain on the northern border of Israel, rising over 9,000 feet with snow on its peak year-round. It's near Caesarea Philippi, where Peter confessed Jesus as the Christ. Some scholars believe the Transfiguration occurred on Mount Hermon. Psalm 133 compares the dew of Hermon to the blessing of unity. Its snowmelt feeds the Jordan River.
