April 12, 2023 Daliat-el-Carmel is a Druze town 20km southeast of Haifa on Mount Carmel.

In 1283 both Daliyat al-Karmel and Kh. Doubel (just south of Daliyat al-Karmel) were mentioned as part of the domain of the Crusaders, according to the hudna between the Crusaders in Acre and the Mamluk sultan Qalawun.[3]

In 1870 a local guide showed French explorer Victor Guérin extensive ruins located south of Daliyat al-Karmel, called Khirbet Doubel. The ruins were the most extensive on Mount Carmel. Guérin thought it might be the town on Mt. Carmel mentioned by Pliny.[4] Conder and Kitchener of the Palestine Exploration Fund surveyed the area and noted "traces of ruins" at a place SE of the village centre called Dubil.[5] Later excavations have found remains there from Iron Age I, Early Roman and Byzantine periods,[6] together with pottery from first century to the second–third centuries CE.[7] Although inconclusive, Lieutenant Conder thought that Daliyat al-Karmel was to be identified with the biblical Idalah (Joshua 19:15).[Daliat-el-Carmel is a Druze town 20km southeast of Haifa on Mount Carmel. This is the largest Druze community in Israel. The surrounding landscape is stunningly beautiful and the town itself is unique. The Druze people welcome visitors and are proud to introduce their heritage and traditions to others.
Who are the Druze?

The Druze are an Arabic-speaking minority with an esoteric faith that grew from Islam. The sect guards its doctrine closely with only a few of the initiated being privy to the religious doctrine. Their tenets include the unity of God and continuous reincarnation. There are Druze living in Israel, Syria and Lebanon and they give their allegiance to the country they are living in. Druze are a valuable and integrated part of Israeli society and serve in the Israeli army. The Druze are a peaceful group known for their grace, loyalty, courage and dignity. Today there are about 130,000 Druze in Israel.
