The Nimrod Fortress is located on one of the most strategic points on the road leading from the Hula Valley and the slopes of the Golan in the direction of Damascus. It is built on the steepest point in the region. Due to pressure of time because the threat of the Crusaders attacks the castle was erected within only three years 1227-1230 CE.
In 1253 CE the Crusader forces attempted to conquer Nimrod Castle, but failed.
Ayyubid control came to an end in 1260 CE, when the Mongols conquered the region. Their rule did not last long as in that year the Mamelukes faced them in a decisive battle at En Harod . Baibars overpowered the Mongol forces, and the entire region passed to Mameluke control.
In this period Nimrod Castle was renovated and expanded . After the expulsion of the Crusaders from the Holy Land in 1291 CE, the importance of the fortress declined .

Makhtesh Ramon is a geological feature of the Negev desert. It is the landform is the world's largest erosion cirque (steelhead valley or box canyon). The formation is 40 km long, 2–10 km wide and 500 meters deep, and is shaped like an elongated heart. Despite its appearance, it is not an impact crater from a meteor nor a volcanic crater formed by an eruption. It was formed by geological erosion.

Circassians are settled in two villages in Israël, Kafr Kama and Richaniah in Galilea.
They manage to maintain their cultural identity, speaking Adigue language which is the ancestral Circassian language.
As a consequence of the Circassian genocide, which was perpetrated by the Russian Empire in the 19th century most Circassians were exiled from their homeland in Circassia to modern-day Turkey and the rest of the Middle East, where the majority of them are concentrated today.
Islam is the dominant religion among them since the 17th century.
It is of interest to visit their heritage center in Kafer Kama.
