El Monte Tabor - Shibli Um Al Ghanam

The mountain peak stands tall in the midst of a flat plain, reaching a height of meters and forming a semicircle. It is characterized by its unique and secluded shape, surrounded by small oaks, carob trees, and pines. Legend has it that this is the place where someone was transfigured, turning it into a sacred mountain. The only way to reach the basilica at the top is by taxi, as buses do not go there. It is a fascinating experience to ride with the locals, witnessing their music, laughter, and eagerness to connect with others. The church is worth a visit, offering shelter from the high altitude.
