Kibbutz Sha’ar HaGolan is located at the foot of the Golan Heights in the Jordan Valley area of north-eastern Israel. The main source of income is a plastics engineering factory. The kibbutz also grows bananas, avocado and watermelons, and has a herd of dairy cows. Another economic sector is tourism, one of the attractions on a museum of Yarmukian culture exhibiting pre-historic Neolithic findings discovered along the banks of the Yarmuk River. Established in the 1950s, it was Israel’s first museum of prehistory.
