Daliyat el Carmel and Isfiya

Daliyat el Carmel is Israel's largest Druze village, and well worth exploring. Though most of the younger generation wears jeans and T-shirts, most older people wear traditional garb. Head coverings indicate the degree of religious belief, from the high white turban resembling a fez to the white kerchief covering the head and shoulders. Many men sport a bushy moustache, a hallmark of the Druze, and some older ones wear dark robes and black pantaloons.
