Mount Hermon (Arabic: جبل الشيخ or جبل حرمون / ALA-LC: Jabal al-Shaykh ('Mountain of the Sheikh') or Jabal Haramun; Hebrew: הַר חֶרְמוֹן, Har Ḥermōn) is a mountain cluster constituting the southern end of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range. Its summit straddles the border between Syria and Lebanon[2] and, at 2,814 m (9,232 ft) above sea level, is the highest point in Syria.[3] On the top, in the United Nations buffer zone between Syrian and Israeli-occupied territories, is the highest permanently manned UN position in the world, known as "Hermon Hotel",[4] located at 2814 metres altitude (9,232 ft).[5] The southern slopes of Mount Hermon extend to the Israeli-occupied portion of the Golan Heights, where the Mount Hermon ski resort is located[6] with a top elevation of 2,040 m (6,690 ft).[7] A peak in this area rising to 2,236 m (7,336 ft) is the highest elevation in Israeli-controlled territory.[8]
