Haifa - Elijah's Cave

Opposite the Carmelite Monastery in Haifa is a path leading down to Elijah's Cave (also known as the School of the Prophet), at the foot of the cape. This is believed to be the cave in which Elijah hid from the kings of Israel and has been described by Zev Vilnay as "the holiest Jewish site in Haifa". Elijah is revered as El-Khidr by the Muslims, who had a mosque here until 1948.
