Tell al-Hara

Tell al-Hara rises 1,127 meters above sea level, featuring a wide crater at its summit and overlooking the Golan Heights and Hauran regions.

During the Byzantine period, the hill was named Jabal Harith after the Ghassanid king al-Harith, marking its significance in regional governance.

Archaeological excavations at Tell al-Hara revealed remnants of a Muslim saint tomb and a Ghassanid Christian monastery called Deir al-Saj.

The hill stands 55 kilometers north of Daraa, 50 kilometers from Damascus, and 12 kilometers from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

The Nahr al-Allan river originates near the southern base of Tell al-Hara and flows continuously until reaching the Jordanian border.
