Exploring the Carmel Forest

Location of the Programs:
The Carmel mountain range offers a lovely green respite along Israel’s northern coastline. With fertile vegetation, breathtaking landscape and a moderate climate, Mount Carmel is a wonderful area to visit and venture along its hiking and biking trails.

Mount Carmel is also a place of ancient and modern history. It has archeological finds that record earliest human life, as well as caves and grottos in which, according to the Book of Kings, the prophet Elijah resided.

The Carmel also has many trails for biking, hiking, walking, birdwatching and enjoying the wonderful views. As host to the largest nature reserve in the country, the wildlife preserve has restored homes for animals and birds that had become extinct in the area. –from Arza World
