Carmel Range

A monastery located at the southeastern corner of the Carmel (opposite the town of Yokneam). There are stupendous views of the surroundings if the weather is clear. Traditionally, this is where the Biblical prophet Elijah had his showdown with the prophets of Baal. The monastery itself is not that impressive, but more a place for American and Chinese tourist groups seeking souvenirs quoted in US dollars. You can drive here, or else hike up from the road.
