Mount Tabor - View

To the north and south of the Church of the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor are walls belonging to older buildings. From the top of the walls there are views of much of the elliptical summit plateau with its remains of ancient buildings set in luxuriant gardens. Even more rewarding are the wider views of the hills of Nazareth to the west, the Jezreel plain and the hills of Samaria to the south, the Jordan rift valley and the hills of Jordan to the east and the green expanses of Galilee with the Horns of Hittim to the north.
