My city – Haifa

Welcome to Haifa, the city I live in. Haifa is Israel’s third largest city. He is situated on the slopes of Mount Carmel facing the Mediterranean Sea.

The most popular tourist attraction in Haifa - the Bah’ai World Center with beautiful gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated on North Slope of Mount Carmel. I included this place in my own Best Places to Visit in Israel List on Google Maps.

You can find in Haifa the Carmelit - the Israel’s only subway system which travels up and down the mountain. Also, there is a Cable Car – one of the popular tourist attractions in Haifa. There are a few museum in Haifa and Haifa Educational Zoo which has unique location just on the slope of a mount.

One of the most interesting places in Haifa is downtown which has a mix of old and modern building and where you can find a lot of cafes, restaurants and pubs for everyone, artist galleries, fashion and jewelry boutiques and so on.

Haifa is a city of tolerance. You can find more about that in one of my previous post.

Haifa is a beautiful green city. There are a few ravines in Haifa which cut the city like a pie from the top of Mount Carmel toward the sea. You can find hiking trails in these ravines and take a walk in nature without going out of city.

If you are going to visit Israel don’t forget to include Haifa in your list.

Thank you for these beautiful photos, I find them very well taken! Can you tell me more about the camera and the lenses you used? Did you use special settings or filters?

Haifa looks very nice and I would love to see it, hopefully soon since I’m planning to visit Israel in March. I’ll definitely use your helpful suggestions, thanks for that as well! :slightly_smiling_face: You can take great photos so it seems you already know How to step outside your normal routine as a photographer.

Nice photos - thanx for sharing. I always wonder what looks like in Israel. Does it look like an Asian city, or European city or a Middle Eastern city? @Andrey_K

Hi @OliverKIWI ,

Thank you for your comment and your interest in Israel. It’s really difficult to say what style dominants here. I would say it’s rather a mix of Middle East and Europe. Also, it’s a mix of modernity and antiquity.
