    The architectural design of the gardens is mind-blowing. The way the steps seamlessly blend with the natural landscape is simply genius. Whether you're a nature lover, an architecture enthusiast, or just someone looking for a quiet spot to contemplate life, the Baha'i Gardens tick all the boxes. It's not just a garden; it's an experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and, dare I say, a bit enlightened.

    Great beach! Gigantic amounts of sand, free parking, showers, toiletts, lifeguards, excellent water temperature(early october), big waves keep coming, and theres enough of those artificial shade makers for everyone to find a free place under.

    Our cruise ship docked here over night so got to see Haifa on the second day. We walked from the port to town and then up the hill to the shrine and gardens then walked back via the shops and restaurants. The port is well organised for cruise ship immigration, passport and immigration cards checked several times before you get through.

    This lush, sprawling park is a hidden gem of Haifa. It's the biggest national park in the country and yet seems to be overlooked by tourists, which is a shame. There are kilometers of hiking and biking trails, plus archaeological sites and hectares of different tree species. You can also go picnicking here, which I encourage people to do for the sheer joy of enjoying a meal in this gorgeous park. There are also different protected animal species that reside here. You can forget that the rest of the country extends into the desert because this place is so green.

    Several dozens of very nice sculptures are presented in a natural setting, supplemented by a nice view of Haifa bay.

    I find Bat Galim to be very scenic.
    You can see and hear waves crashing on the rocks.
    There are a few restaurants on the promenade and more on the main road.
    There were more at one time.
    Go if you want quiet. Spend an hour or two.
    I'm not sure why this isn't more popular.

    Sculptures are everywhere you look and it's fantastic to see such artwork in the middle of all the old world style around you.

    Being back from Gamla Nature Reserve, I had visited the week before, and being still disappointed by the missing vultures, I couldn't be more surprised by the same vultures that were so close to me in this park.
    I do recommend visiting this place as the vultures are free to fly wherever they want, they are not in a cage.
    The other animals that are here are just waiting to be released free when they'll be able to survive.
    This place is a must!

    Recently, my wife and I traveled up to the Haifa area to Kibbutz Yagur for what we thought would be a moderately difficult hike up the lower Yagur Stream. It turned out to be the most difficult, the most challenging, and the most "extreme" hike we had ever done - ever. Don’t get me wrong, it goes down on my list as one of the best hikes of my life and one of life’s greatest challenges conquered! Did I mention that it was also one of the prettiest hikes we had ever done? But BEWARE! It is a long hike. 8 kilometers. The first 2 kilometers on a well-marked “red” trail are moderate. The next 1 ½ (still on the red trail) are ONLY for FIT OR EXPERIENCED HIKERS! Coming out of the gorge and the cliffs at 3 ½ kilometers and turning left onto a single-path “green” trail to begin the 4 ½ kilometer descent down the mountain was cause for celebration, which we did with tea and cookies. The descent was EASY following the crest of one of the ribs of the Carmel Mountain. Along the way we passed some of the prettiest and most awesome views that we had ever seen in Israel – phenomenal views of the Carmel ridge and cliffs, the Mediterranean Sea, the Galilee mountains, the Jezreel Valley. This hike is a MUST for fit or experienced hikers!
