Hof HaCarmel Regional Council
Tucked along Israel’s Mediterranean coast on the Carmel coastal plain, Ma'agan Michael is a place whose character is shaped by the meeting of beach, dune and farmland. Founded in 1949, the kibbutz belongs to the Hof HaCarmel Regional Council in Haifa District and combines a communal rural settlement with industry and agriculture. Low kurkar sandstone ridges and coastal vegetation mark this section of shore, while the Carmel range rises inland to the east. A few kilometres north, Tel Dor preserves the remains of an ancient harbour town, evidence of the coast’s long role in Mediterranean trade. Ma'agan Michael lies south of Dor and close to fishponds and wetlands that have long formed part of its agricultural surroundings.

Among the countries of the eastern Mediterranean, Israel stands out for its compact geography, where a Mediterranean coast, the Jordan Valley and the Negev Desert lie within a relatively small area. Jerusalem’s Old City contains places sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, including the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. To the north, the Sea of Galilee is a freshwater lake associated with Christian tradition; southward, the Dead Sea marks the country’s lowest-lying region. Tel Aviv brings a contrasting modern urban pace, with its UNESCO-listed White City ensemble of early modernist architecture. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Israel.
