"The Valley of the Doves"

"Perhaps the most prominent physical landmark around the Sea of Galilee is towering Mount Arbel. Mount Arbel is located near the sea's western shore in the vicinity of ancient Magdala, home of Mary Magdalene. The mountain's sheer face can be easily picked out by the casual observer from most points around the lake. Below Mount Arbel lies the Valley of the Doves, a natural access route into the lake area and a route probably used by Jesus as he traveled back and forth to Cana and Nazareth."
