The giant orange spheres take you to the top of Mount Carmel. It's pricey and there's poor signage once up there - only the church had directions. A great view was had though.

The good: Nice view The bad: This is a nice attraction provided one is aware that there is not much to do on both ends of the cable ride that lasts only a few minutes. at the lower end there is a dairy restaurant and a rundown promenade, while at the other end on the mountain side there is but...

very short ride between to top of mount carmel and the sea, nice view but nothing to write home about... at the top stop there is a very good middle-eastern restaurant with breath taking views of the entire bay all the way to the northen border of Israel

With a day pass, you can pop up like a gopher in various areas of the city with different cultures, then return as often as you like. For 15NIS, this is only a small premium over the round trip.
