Haifa And The Carmel mountain By The Sea
From the Director of Tourism in Haifa
Haifa is a city of many facets. Woven within its human and cultural framework is the amazing fact that five different religions co-exist in harmony with each other in this city. This has turned the capital of the north – as Haifa is known – into a very unique pearl of co-existence within Israel. But the real icing on the cake is the breath-taking scenery which is visible from every corner of the city. If there is no limit to the view points on which to feast your eyes over the sea (from Hadera to Rosh ha Nikra), Haifa is also the exit point from where you can take a spontaneous short trip or excursion to the many attractive places dotted around on the outskirts of Haifa.
For your convenience, we have divided the tour guide manual into three basic areas, according to their topographical distribution.
a) On the upper reaches of Mount Carmel sprawls the Carmel region, with its stunning view posts and green areas, which are typical of the Carmel ridge.
b) Lower down you can find the Hadar on Carmel area, with its variegated and colourful architecture.
c) At the foot of the Carmel lies the wonderful stretch of the Haifa beach and the area known as ‘Down Town’, with its colorful, authentic markets and special features.
Please make good use of our centralized information service. This should cover all the places you might visit. And if this does not suffice, the Information Bureau can be found at the Tourist and Leisure Board and is ready to assist with all your queries.
We wish you a very successful and enjoyable visit
On behalf of the Haifa Tourist and Leisure Board
Haifa, the tourist center of the North.
As the capital of the North of Israel, Haifa provides holiday makers with an excellent base from which to set out on fascinating tours of the whole area.
For instance, from here you can easily visit the Druze villages, the Carmel nature reserves, make it as far as Acco (the Acre of Crusader times), and Rosh ha-Nikra, right up on the norther border, as well as to historic Caesarea in the south. We have wonderful trips and gorgeous experiences for you to just about anywhere, and all simply within a half an hour's drive from Haifa.
The Druze Villages
The Druze villages which are just next door to Haifa are Dalyat – el – Carmel and Ossefiya. They offer you a first-hand experience of Druze culture. The colorful market place of Dalyat – el – Carmel provides Druze hand work and craft work , and traditional foods, such as Druze pittas, as well as many others. You might like to wander about the old quarter of the village and visit Oliphant House.
Ossfiya is famous for its Traditional Heritage Center Culture, known as ‘Albadia’. Here you will be welcomed with Bedouin hospitality and traditional food, stories from traditional Bedouin religion and history and you will be able to visit the traditional workshops as well, if you wish.
There are also activities for children. And not very far away from the Druze villages, you will encounter ‘the Mukhraka’ – the Carmelite Monastery in which, as tradition has it, the prophet Elijah fought against the prophets of Baal.
The Carmel Nature Reserve
The Carmel Nature Reserve stretches out over an area of about 84,000 dunam. It is the largest National Park in the whole of Israel.
There are dozens of little beauty spots and corners of green, which simply entice you to sit in them and enjoy being pampered by nature.
The Carmel Nature Reserve offers you a host of unique paths and trails in which you can walk around and enjoy the special beauty of the place. Jeeps and tractors can drive you right up to beauty spots that are, quite simply, out of this world. There are also characteristic Meditarranean woods and groves, archeological remains, holy sites and a unique variety of wild flora and fauna.
Rosh ha Niqra
The cliff known as Rosh ha Niqra is the most northerly point of the whole of Israel and is especially well know for the crevices which have been formed in its rocks due to the incessant pounding of the waves of the sea against the limestone cliff. These crevices have been carved out naturally into grottoes and tunnels.
What is there to see there? A cable car which descends from the top of the cliff right down to the grottoes at the bottom. An audio visual spectacle, called ‘Ha-Rakevet le Shalom’ (or ‘The Train for Peace’), a restaurant, a souvenir shop, and the ‘Lily’ coffee house.
Opening hours: In July and August, from 08.00 to 23.00 hours.
In autumn and spring, from 08.30 to 18.00 hours.
In winter, from 08.30 to 16.00 hours.
On Fridays all the year round: from 08.30 to 16.00 hours.
Hof ha Bonim and Caesarea
The Hof ha Bonim beach reservation is one of the most interesting and beautiful in the entire Mediterranean. In the areas which are under preservation you will find that the beach nature reserve contains the largest number of inlets in the whole of Israel. These have been ‘carved out’ through the constant pounding of the waves and the wind. In addition you will encounter many kinds of sandy bays, caves on the shoreline and natural fountains created by the waves. If you go south from the beach reservation, you will come to Caesarea, an ancient city and port, which served as the capital city of Israel during the Roman and Byzantine eras.
The city boasts a Roman amphitheater which has undergone a large amount of renovation and reconstruction work. Today it puts on cultural event, fun events and entertainments. You will also be able to view the splendid Roman aqueduct, built by Herod the Great, to carry water into the city, and be generally overwhelmed by the wide variety of archeological findings that exist in Caesarea.
Acco
Acco (Acre of Crusader times) is one of the most ancient ports in the whole world. It is full of most attractive historical and archeological sites. These include the Al Jazzar Mosque (named after its very cruel founder); the ‘Knights’ Halls’ (named after the Hospitallers); The Pasha Turkish Bath House, the Khan El Umdan (the Inn of the Columns) and the Underground Museum which commemorates the underground prisoners from the British Mandate period.
The colourful Oriental souk wafting all sorts of exotic fragrances turns Acco into a true example of Middle Eastern spices.
Next to the harbour you will find Acco’s marina from where you can set out on a sailing trip around the ancient walls of the city. Along the beach you will find that a beautiful promenade has been built, which leads from the harbour to the lighthouse.
Follow the Wine Route through Zikhron Yaakov
The Wine Route is situated along the reconstructed and renovated Ha-Meyasadim St, which is the main thoroughfare through Zikhron Yaakov, the settlement which was first founded by Baron Edmond de Rothschild of the famous Rothschild family. The Wine Route starts in the old cemetery and Visitors Center and ends in the ‘Carmel Mizrachi’ Winery. Along the way we encounter the historic sites of the settlement as well as various wine cellars. Picturesque coffee houses are dotted about along the street, and these, together with the abundant choice of art galleries and restaurants, create a very special street atmosphere. Art fairs, bazaars and street theater take place on this street during the summer months, as well as displays of art. Apart from all this you can also be shown round the Beit Aharonson House, where the famous Aharonson family lived at the time of the Ottoman Turks, before the British Mandate period. You can also have a look around the Ramat Ha Nadiv Gardens.
