Hof HaCarmel Regional Council: Caesarea - Haifa, Israel
Hof HaCarmel Regional Council sits on Israel’s Mediterranean coast in Haifa District, where a narrow coastal plain meets the western slopes of the Carmel range. This shoreline combines beach recreation with agricultural communities and small settlements set between the sea and the hills. The Carmel range, a limestone ridge running toward Haifa, has long shaped the geography of this part of northern Israel. Nearby, the ancient port settlement of Dor preserves archaeological layers from several periods of antiquity. The coast also supports sailing and other marine activities, giving this stretch of the district a distinctly maritime character alongside its rural setting.
