After Jerusalem, I decided to rent a car and drive up into northern Israel to the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights. The road that takes you there hugs the Jordan border and takes you up the Dead Sea valley. I love a good road trip and the scenery was amazing. Beginning in Jerusalem, you drive down to the Dead Sea, below sea level, and then gradually go up in elevation until you reach the high hills of the Golan Hights.
