3. Ride the Haifa Cable Car
The Haifa cable car is the easiest way to get up the steep hill to the Stella Maris Carmelite Monastery and by far the most fun.
There are excellent panoramic vistas over the city and its major points of interest all the way up, making this an excellent activity for photographers.
Even if you’re not interested in visiting the monastery itself, the views from the lookout point at the top of the hill, across the sprawl of Haifa and out to the Mediterranean, are well worth the ride to the summit.
Address: Entry from HaHaganah Street, Galshanim Beach
4. Elijah’s Cave
Opposite the Stella Maris Carmelite Monastery, a path leads down to Elijah’s Cave at the foot of the cape. Visitors that don’t fancy the trek down the hill can access the cave off Allenby Street.
Believers hold that Prophet Elijah hid here after killing the priests of Ba’al.
It is an important pilgrimage site for Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike who all hold Elijah in high regard.
If you’re going to visit, remember to dress modestly to respect the pilgrims who might be visiting the site at the same time.
Until 1948, the site was a mosque.
