Gamla nature reserve, Nature reserve in Golan Heights, Israel

Gamla is a nature reserve in the Golan Heights with steep cliffs, varied terrain, and a 51-meter waterfall that plunges into a deep canyon. The land spans across the Gamla and Daliot stream valleys.

The reserve contains the ruined city of Gamla, destroyed during the Great Revolt against Roman rule at the end of the Second Temple period. It also holds the remains of Deir Qeruh, a Christian village from the 4th to 7th century CE, whose monastery church has a square apse found in ancient Syria and Jordan but not west of the Jordan River.

The reserve holds a memorial to Jewish Golan Heights settlers killed in Israel's wars and in attacks. Nearby stand the ruins of Deir Qeruh, a Christian village of the 4th–7th centuries CE, whose monastery church has a square apse, a form found in ancient Syria and Jordan but not in churches west of the Jordan River.

The reserve is accessible to wheelchairs and visitors with special needs. The Vulture Lookout building on the cliff above Gamla Stream has models of birds of prey on its ceiling, drawn as seen from below, to help visitors identify them. The 51-meter Gamla waterfall dries up in summer and autumn, so plan around the season.

On the cliff edge above Gamla Stream stands the Vulture Lookout, a structure whose ceiling carries models of birds of prey seen from below, meant to help visitors identify them. It was restored in memory of Orna Eshed, a vulture researcher and the reserve's ecologist.
