Visitor Information

Beit Ussishkin Nature Museum has information about area nature reserves, natural history, and bird-watching. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority staff are good resources for planning itineraries that include their sites in other parts of the region and the country. The visitor information service at Moshav Beit Hillel is especially helpful, with a wide selection of bed-and-breakfast accommodations in the moshav, which is in the heart of the Hula Valley tourist region. The Tiberias Tourist Information Office can furnish information on the entire region. The Tourist Information Center-Upper Galilee can also provide information; it's open weekends and holidays only.
