Cable Cars
There are currently six tourist and leisure oriented cable car systems in Israel and the Israeli-occupied territories: In Haifa connecting Bat Galim on the coast to the Stella Maris observation deck and monastery atop Mount Carmel. In Kiryat Shmona, linking it to Menara 400 meters above the town. There are several chairlifts and cable cars in the Mount Hermon ski resort in the Golan Heights. The historic site of Masada, near the Dead Sea, has a cable car system to enable tourists to quickly reach to mountain top site. In the Superland amusement park near Rishon LeZion; and in the Rosh HaNikra grottoes site, a chalk cliff and cavernous tunnels on the Mediterranean cost. A public transport-oriented cable car is being developed in Haifa—the Haifa Cable Car.
