Haifa

Built around a natural harbour on Haifa Bay, Haifa grew into one of Israel’s principal port cities. The city rises from the Mediterranean shore up the slopes of Mount Carmel, where the Bahá’í World Centre and its formal terraced gardens form a defining landmark; the site is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Below, the German Colony preserves a district established in the 19th century by German Templers, while the port and nearby industries underline Haifa’s working character. As a major northern Israeli city, it brings Jewish, Arab and Bahá’í communities into the same urban setting.
