Visit to the Carmel Prehistoric Caves

The Carmel Caves are a fascinating visit for the whole family. They are located on Highway 4 near the Mediterranean coast between Zichron Yaakov and Haifa. The caves were inhabited in prehistoric times, and are just down the road from the biblical Elijah’s Cave.

If you love nature, you’ll enjoy the stunning cliffs and flowers. It’s just a short walk up a simple path with guardrails to the three caves that have been occupied since prehistoric times.

The third and largest cave has a short sound and light show. You can pick the language of the show.

After, or before you visit the caves, there are picnic tables in the shade at the base of the cliff near the gift store.
