Source of the Banyas

Following the river Banyas upstream to the reddish-gray rock wall from which it emerges, we see a number of recesses with Greek inscriptions, once occupied by statues of Pan. To the left is the large cave where the river had its source until it was blocked by an earthquake.

On a hill to the left is the Weli (Tomb) of Sheikh El-Khidr, a Muslim holy man.
