Muhraka Carmelite Monastery. Mt. Carmel. Israel. 847-0178-01

The Muhraka Monastery is a Carmelite monastery which sits on top of the highest peak of the Carmel mountains.
Mount Carmel was the traditional home of the prophet Elijah.
Muhraka is actually Arabic and means “a place of burning,” in reference to the story relayed in the Bible whereby a fire came down from heaven and burnt the prophet Elijah’s offering when he battled the Baal prophets.
The views from the monastery are simply incredible and on clear days one can even see as far as Mount Hermon.
