The fortified town presents many sites of interest that reflect its rich cultural heritage, such as the Hospitaller Knight’s refectory under the citadel, Bahaï holy shrines originating from the Ottoman period and the Garden of Ridwan, the Hamam al-Basha built in 1795 and the Jezzar Pasha Mosque built in 1781 where Jezzar Pasha and his successor Sulayman Pasha are both buried.

Druze's Kitchen workshop
The Druze are an Arabic-speaking minority living throughout the Middle East. In Israel, there are about 130,000 Druze, mainly in northern Galilee and the Golan Heights. Their religion is secret, focusing on belief in one God, heaven and hell, and judgment.
The Druze, who live mainly in Israel, Lebanon and Syria, maintain a traditional way of life. This means that it is considered inappropriate for Druze religious women to leave their homes to seek employment but there is no reason that the work does not come to her. This is why several Druze women began to organize cooking workshops.
Druze cuisine is very similar to that of Syria and neighboring Lebanon and uses local spices from the region.
A classic menu may consist of fresh pita bread topped with zaatar, fresh red pepper and meat or labne (a cheese). To this can be added local specialties such as hummus, stuffed grape leaves, a wide range of fresh salads and limonana (lemonade of fresh mint) to quench the thirst of visitors.
