Jebel Tur'an

Jebel Tur'an, Mountain summit in Lower Galilee, Israel.

Jebel Tur'an is a limestone summit in the Lower Galilee region of northern Israel that rises approximately 548 meters high. From the top, views extend across multiple valleys and the surrounding landscape toward the Mediterranean area.

The mountain preserves the name of Tir'an, a locality mentioned in rabbinic sources, from which the Arabic name Tur'an derives. In the Roman period the main road between Tiberias and Sepphoris ran through the Tur'an valley south of the ridge, where Road 77 passes today. At the eastern foot lie the ruins of Hurvat Mashkena and Hurvat Ammudim, remains of two large Jewish villages from the Talmudic period.

The name Tur'an preserves that of "Tir'an", a locality mentioned in rabbinic literature, from which the mountain's name derives. The village of Tur'an sits at its southern foot, and the slopes are planted with olive groves. At the eastern foot lie the ruins of Hurvat Mishkena and Hurvat Amudim, remains of two large Jewish settlements from the Talmudic period.

Access to the summit is via a left turn at the entrance to Mitzpe Netofa, where a path leads to the Tur'an lookout tower built by the Jewish National Fund. The mountain rises 350 m above the Golani Interchange, and Road 77 passes through the Tur'an Valley at its foot, so the trailhead is reached by car.

On the southern slope, erosion has exposed a ring pattern in the limestone and dolomite layers: concentric circles within circles, like a cut onion showing its layers. This spheroidal weathering can be seen from Route 77.
