On the way up we saw an about 2000 year old synagogue. I learned how to take a video so here's one of those.
During the hike, we saw a tour guide telling stories in English so we stopped to listen. He was showing a little group the Kinneret which you could see from the top of the mountain. He said that a few years before the Kinneret had been so low that they saw something sticking out, and a bunch of archeologists took it out of the water and found a wooden boat preserved by mud that was 2000 years old. The boat is now in some museum.
After the hike, we went to Tiberias to get lunch. After lunch, we went to a little outdoor museum with a hot hot spring. The spring was so hot you were only supposed to put your feet and hands in.
In the outdoor museum, there is also an old synagogue with really pretty mosaics. There was one that was almost full, of a menorah, and other Jewish symbols.
There was also a mosaic of the zodiac.
Then, we went to the Golan, and saw a movie on a 180-degree screen about the senses of the Golan. While we were watching a windy part of the movie, we suddenly felt wind! I looked around and saw fans. While we were watching a rainy part of the movie, it started to rain mist inside the theater! Then, after the show, we went to a huge model of the Golan Heights.
Then, we went to see some waterfalls.
It was a very fun hike!
