'''The Golan Heights''' is a plateau situated in northeast South-west [[Syria]], North-East [[Israel]]. Occupied by Israel in 1967, annexed in 1982, but still claimed by Syria.
==Hitching out==
===To the [[Jerusalem]], [[Dead Sea]], or [[Eilat]]===
Warning: the primary route for hitchhiking south from the Golan, requires passing by some relatively dangerous arab passes the West bank and areas such Yericho (Jericho). Many Arabs on the Highway head there, Pay attention to every ride you take and avoiding arab choose your drivers is safer and ideal. If an arab driver stops for you, it is best that you just nicely refuse their destinationcarfuelly.
From the Golan the first goal to reach is the Tsemach Junction, which is situated at the bottom tip of the Kinneret. From a local junction, make your way to preferabley Highway 98 and head south, but depending where you are, Highway 92 also leads to the Tsemach Junction. If you happen to be in the upper eastern part of the golan, Highway 90 east of the Kinneret will also do, but will be much more difficult, because many people stop in Teveria (Tiberias), which is a relatively large city, and will possibley require leaving a the city, wich can be rather difficult.
After the Tsemach Junction your next goal is the Beit ha-Arava Junction which is reached by continuing south on Highway 90. From there, you can either chose to go to Jerusalem, or continue on to either the Dead Sea or Eilat. On the way to Beit ha-Arava, a common location for drivers is Beit She'an which is also a location that many people hitchike from.
=== Continuing to Jerusalem===
Get off at the Beit ha-Arava Junction, and continue at the trempiyada at the beginning of Highway 1 going east to Jerusalem. From here, it is best to wait for a ride that is going directly to Jerusalem without any stop, unless your goal is not actually to get to Jerusalem, but a town settlment along the way, such as Ma'ale Adummim, in which case there should be people headed there as well.
===Continuing to the Dead Sea and Eilat===
