Carmel Tours

Mount Carmel, located in Northern Israel within the city of Haifa, is a holy place for Jews and Christians alike. It was in a cave on Mount Carmel where the Prophet Elijah lived, and where Prophet Elisha cursed a group of young men who had been mocking him. A strategic location, Mount Carmel saw a number of battles fought in its surroundings, from the 15th century BC Battle of Megiddo between the Egyptians and the Canaanites to the eponymous 1915 battle between the British and the Ottomans. Mount Carmel has a special place in the Catholic tradition, being the birthplace of the Carmelite Order. For these and for a number of other reasons Carmel tours are very popular among tourists coming to Israel.
