Haifa

Monday 22/12/08
We checked out of Hotel King Solomon and began our drive to Haifa to visit the Carmelite Monastery of St. Elijah on Mt. Carmel. Here we saw the beautiful Stella Maris Church built over the cave where the Prophet Elijah once lived. And it was here that the Prophet Elijah convinced the people that the God of Israel is the true God (1 Kings 18:17-40)



From here we continued our way to Caesarea. On the way we stopped by the ruins of the Herod's Aqueduct. This structure was to supply fresh water to Herod's new city.
