Gamla Nature Reserve (Golan Heights)
The Gamla Nature Reserve on the Golan Heights was once a Jewish fortress captured by the Romans in the Great Revolt (67 C.E.). It is named Gamla after the Hebrew word for camel (gamal), because the ancient fortress is on a mountain that is shaped remarkably like the hump of a camel. Today visitors can also observe eagles flying overhead and beautiful waterfalls.
