Among the cities of Haifa District, Haifa stands out for its terraced position between Mount Carmel and the Mediterranean Sea. Israel’s principal seaport spreads around Haifa Bay, while the city climbs the mountain’s northern slopes in a series of distinct neighbourhoods. The Bahá’í Gardens, descending Mount Carmel toward the German Colony, form the focal point of the Bahá’í World Centre; the Bahá’í holy places in Haifa and western Galilee are inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The 19th-century German Colony adds a further historical layer with its restored stone buildings. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Haifa District.
