Mount Tabor (Hebrew: הר תבור‎) is located in Lower Galilee, at the eastern end of the Jezreel Valley, 11 miles (17 km) west of the Sea of Galilee. Its elevation at the summit is 1,843 feet (575 m) above sea level. It is believed by many to be the site of the Transfiguration of Christ.

It is also known as Har Tavor, Itabyrium, Jebel et-Tur, and the Mount of Transfiguration.
