Muhraqa, Religious summit on Mount Carmel, Israel
Located at an elevation of 497 meters, Muhraqa provides panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, Jezreel Valley, and surrounding Carmel mountain range.
The summit marks the location where Prophet Elijah challenged 450 prophets of Baal to a divine demonstration, resulting in fire descending from heaven.
The Carmelite Monastery at Muhraqa serves as a spiritual center where visitors participate in religious ceremonies and educational programs about biblical events.
The site maintains regular hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, with dedicated parking facilities and clearly marked paths leading to observation points.
Limestone formations at the summit display distinctive black lichen patterns, which local traditions connect to the ancient divine fire incident.
