Metula

Metula is a town in northern Israel, located close to the Lebanese border. The settlement has a modest center with residential areas, local shops, and services that meet the everyday needs of residents.

Metula was founded in 1896 and is one of the northernmost settlements in Israel. The town was established as an agricultural community that has shaped its identity ever since.

Metula is a small Israeli town with a predominantly Jewish community and a strong sense of shared identity. Daily life here reflects both traditional and contemporary Israeli ways of living.

The best time to visit is during warmer months when roads are dry and easy to walk. Keep in mind that shops and services have limited hours since this is a small town.

The town has a distinctive position as one of the few Jewish settlements that extends right to the Lebanese border. This location shapes daily life and the character of the place in a way few other Israeli towns experience.
