Location Sha'ar Hagolan is located 1 mile south of the Sea of Galilee in the Jordan Valley, within the internationally recognized borders of Israel established in 1948, and far from the current unrest in the area. The closest town is the historical and tourist resort of Tiberias. Nevertheless, this is a quiet and peaceful area and we have had no security problems since we started digging in 1989.
