Merom Golan
Merom Golan (Hebrew: מְרוֹם גּוֹלָן) is an Israeli kibbutz on the Golan Heights, which Israel has occupied since 1967 .
The kibbutz is located at the northwest opening of the 1171 meter high volcanic cone of the Bental and was built in 1967 four kilometers west of the city of Quneitra, which was abandoned by the inhabitants after the Six Day War , and in the UN- controlled zone on the Golan Heights. The kibbutz had 701 residents in 2016. Merom Golan comprises approximately 450 hectares of agricultural land for fields, pastures, vineyards and orchards. There is also accommodation for around 150 tourists with two kosher restaurants and a factory for assembling electric motors. A large number of Druze from neighboring villages and guest workers from Thailand and Nepal work on the agricultural land and in the factory .
From Merom Golan there are opportunities to explore the fortified Israeli-Syrian border with trenches, barbed wire etc. either on foot or by horse and cart.
