Haifa Israel

The magnificent Mediterranean port of Haifa is a perfect starting point for a 48-hour tour of the timeless beauty of Israel. Built on the slopes of Mount Carmel, its history dates back more than 3,000 years. This view down on the city, port, and cruise terminal was taken from the Louis Promenade over the Baháʼí Gardens and the gold-domed Shrine of the Báb, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Haifa is also known for its museums, ethnic restaurants, unique shopping opportunities, and its lush civic gardens.
