The Bahá’í Gardens is the Haifa section of a set of parks spread across several Middle Eastern locations. A glorious shrine and monuments decorate its spectacular landscaped grounds, while its hilly peak provides views of the entire city.

As one of the liveliest strands around the bustling city, Bat Galim Beach is backed by numerous shops, cafés and restaurants. It stands in a serene neighborhood and invites you to soak up the sun on its sandy strip. Stroll along the scenic promenade that runs along the back of the beach and do some people-watching around the popular bay.

The Haifa Port is a vast marina that stretches along a large part of Haifa’s northeastern coastline. Built around a deep-water harbor, it’s a hub of enormous trawlers, yachts and cruise ships. Travel in ferries from this huge port to exotic destinations across the Mediterranean Sea.

From the classical age to the medieval era and beyond, Akko Harbor, also known as Ze’ev Frid Marina, has played a key role in the social and industrial development of the city. See busy fishermen and their boats against a backdrop of the old district’s walls and the tall Khan al-Umdan clock tower. Snap photos of these glorious vestiges, well-preserved after many centuries.

Rising from the western side of Haifa city, Mount Carmel is a historic set of peaks providing spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. Wineries, scenic hiking routes and villages of the hospitable Druze people adorn the undulating landscape. Learn about the biblical events that are said to have taken place on this scenic and sacred mountain range.

The Caesarea Amphitheater provides the exceptional opportunity to attend a concert or recital in the classical surroundings of a 2,000-year-old arena. Standing in the former capital of Roman Judaea, the venue hosted plays, gladiator battles and mass executions under the rule of King Herod the Great. Appreciate the spectacular scenery from this open-air venue that overlooks the sparkling blue of the Mediterranean Sea.
