Tips from the community
Entrance to the monastery costs 5 ₪. Outside the monastery there are picnic tables. According to the tradition of the Carmelite Order (the only order founded in the Land of Israel), this was the site of the biblical contest (I Kings 18) during which Eliyahu HaNavi summoned 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah to a test—who would place an offering on the altar and fire Past the monastery there is also a stunning lookout over the entire north and the Mediterranean Sea.
