關於
Mount Arbel (Hebrew: הר ארבל, Har Arbel) is a mountain in the Lower Galilee near Tiberias in Israel, with high cliffs, views of Mount Hermon and the Golan Heights, a cave-fortress, and ruins of an ancient synagogue. The mountain was formed by geological processes leading to the creation of the Jordan Rift Valley. Mount Arbel sits across from Mount Nitai.
Mount Arbel overlooks four villages: Kfar Zeitim, Arbel, Kfar Hittim, and Mitzpa. The peak, at 181 metres above sea level (380 metres above the surrounding area), dominates the surroundings (much of the area is below sea level), and from the lookout atop the mountain, almost all of the Galilee is visible including Safed, as well as Tiberias and most of the Sea of Galilee, and the slopes of the Golan Heights on the other side of the Sea.
