Tell Mar Elias is a low, exposed hill north-west of Ajlun that local and religious tradition holds as the birthplace of the Prophet Elijah. The tell — an artificial mound built up over centuries of occupation — preserves the remains of a Byzantine church and what appears to have been a pilgrimage complex. Fragmentary mosaic floors survive, and the views across the forested hills towards the Jordan Valley are excellent.
The site is most easily reached on foot via the Prophet's Trail in the Ajlun Nature Reserve, which ends (or begins) here. The walk takes around four hours one-way from the reserve visitor centre. You can also drive to within a short walk of the summit. There is no visitor centre at the tell itself; it is unfenced and freely accessible.
