Mount Carmel National Park And Nature Reserve

The main entrance to the Mount Carmel Nature Reserve is near the Haifa University campus. Hikes and drives through the park reveal its variety of plants and animals and magnificent vistas toward the Mediterranean and northern valleys.

At Hai-Bar Carmel you can see fallow deer, roe deer, wild goats, wild sheep and Egyptian vultures, endangered species that the Israel Nature and Parks Authority foster in preparation for release to the wild. Farther south on Mount Carmel is Mukraka, the traditional site where Elijah brought down fire from heaven.
