DAY 9 H A I FA I S R A E L

Haifa is an unusual city to navigate. From the top of the Mount Carmel, take in the view from the Louis Promenade across the Port of Haifa. It heads north right across into the Western Galilee. Hop on the Carmelit, Israel’s only subway system. The city’s crown jewel when it comes to tourism is undoubtedly the Bah’ai Gardens. They form part if the Bah’ai World Center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These beautiful gardens are a place of pilgrimage

for members of the Bah’ai faith. They sit on terraces sloping down Mount Carmel toqards the Mediterranean Sea. At the bottom of the gardens is Haifa’s German Colony. The area is famous for its pretty streets of restored templar-era buildings. The main street of the German Colony runs directly from the bottom of the gardens towards the coast and is lined with restaurants and cafes.
