This is not a fancy ski resort in European standards, but it's the only one we have in Israel... People come here to ski, or just to play in the snow or enjoy some of the attractions built for the kids.

Helpfulness
Majd al Shams used to be a Syrian village until the war of 1967 when al the Golan Heights area was conqured by Israel.
Many of the people in Majd al Shams still have relatives in Syria and since there's no way to keep in contact (except for the internet this days and that is if its possible there...) there's the shouting hill... where people from both sides of the border comes to see each other and the only way of hearing each other is shouting.... and therefore its name ...
For all of you who wants to get some sort of clue about it look for the Israeli movie " The Syrian Bride".

Majdal Shams translates in Arabic as the "tower of the rising sun". There a few Druze settlments within the area this being the largest. There is not a great deal to see in Majdal Shams, it is en route to the Mount Hermon Ski Resort & not far from Banyas & Nimrods Castle so it is worth stopping for a drink in of the cafes (much cheaper than the Ski resort!) & walk if your in the area.
Many of the people in Madjal Shams have relatives over the boarder & apparently on Fridays they go there & shout over to each other.
