Petroleum Road

The Petroleum Road is a privately owned north-south asphalt road in the Golan Heights. It is 47 km long. It begins near Mount Paras on the east edge of the central Golan, and ends in the northern Golan near the Israeli controlled Golan-Lebanese frontier, nearby Ghajar. Most of the road is marked on maps as inaccessible to traffic because of poor road quality. The name Petroleum Road derives from the now defunct oil pipeline of the Trans-Arabian Pipeline Company, which the road runs adjacent to.
