📍 Destination Overview
Haifa is a Mediterranean port city in northern Israel, climbing in tiers from the shore up Mount Carmel and served by Israel's only funicular, the Carmelit. On the hillside, the spectacular Bahai Terraced Gardens pour down in nineteen terraces around the golden-domed shrine of the Bab, the Bahai world centre and a UNESCO site. Its harmony of faiths is most moving.
