Tall al Faras is a mountain summit in northern Israel rising above the surrounding landscape and offering views across the northern regions. The peak has a natural structure with slopes that lead toward the top.
The name Tall al Faras means Hill of the Horse and comes from local inhabitants who traveled through this elevated area over many generations. The mountain has held this name as an important point in the landscape over time.
The place is known by two names reflecting the communities in the area: Hebrew speakers call it Har Peres while Arabic speakers use Tall al Faras. Both names show how different groups have long been part of this landscape.
The hill is easiest to reach during daylight hours and requires sturdy footwear plus water and sun protection for the journey. Visitors should be ready for natural terrain and expect varying conditions depending on the season.
