That temple in most of your pictures is the Bahai temple and Bahai gardens of Haifa. It is the centre of an Iranian religion

We know. :)

Just making sure :P

It looks absolutely fantastic. :okay:

It has the possibility for a HK landscape. We need to remove the decaying buildings, and build more Skyscrapers near the sea, though.

is haifa the best city for live in israel? it looks beatiful from pics and i watched a programm about haifa, i liked it so much.

Fantastic!!!

wow
many beautiful photos here, what a great place
i love all these green areas on the hills :)

i have just made this thread sticky like the other "city of israel" threads

Thanks, Dubai-Lover. :)

is haifa the best city for live in israel? it looks beatiful from pics and i watched a programm about haifa, i liked it so much.

Air pollution is a problem, as is seawater pollution.

Other than that, there is a rise in crime lately ( but still, levels are low), and the roads are in a terrible shape.

But the nightlife is great, and the job situation is ok... so I guess it balances out just fine.

I love Haifa, but driving and parking in this city is even worse than Tel-Aviv .
and although it's by the sea the beach is too far away (Haifa has amazing white sand beaches BTW) .

what a contradiction! What a beuatiful place, what a sad memory for Turks! BTW Haifa Orange is very famous...

I thinks you're confusing it with Jaffa , that's where the famous oranges are from .

It's interesting to note that within the next 10-20 years all of the existing commercial, non-passenger ship port activity will eventually be moved to vast new areas that are to be reclaimed from the sea on the Eastern side of the bay. This will cost several $billion. The existing "downtown" port will only dock cruise and pleasure ships and will basically be converted into a large shopping and entertainment seafront district and will be integrated into the rest of the urban fabric of the city thus giving citizens unencumbered access to the waterfront areas that are a no-go zone today since they are enclosed within a commercial port that's obviously closed to non-port-related activities. The later stages also include not only larger overall port facilities but also a significant lengthening of the Haifa airport runway. Eventually, even the famous "Dagon" grain storage building, easily identifiable in all the pictures posted here that show the port will be demolished and brand new replacement silos will be built in the new port.

Here's a map of the Haifa port relocation and expansion aka "HaKarmel Port" plan. http://www.israports.org.il/sea_of_ranar/sea_of_ranar/english/Hacarmel_port/images/plan.html

looks nice...

i have a question who built the baha'i gardens and when was it built?

Wow, i never new there was such beauty and green in the middle east...All those bright colours and hues, amazing...!!!

What are those green sloping hills exactly?? some sort of a public park?
There aren't any people though, so are the hills purely aeasthetic then maybe?

It's Bahai gardens!

I think we should bulldoze it, and start over. ;)

I liked Akko when I was there, cheap shopping good food and sweet baklava :eat: But many historic buildings are in a bad way, shops closed, no bussiness. I didn't know about the criminals, I was lucky I guess :angel:

By the way, I used to see a something like a big power plant when I was driving in and out of Haifa near the sea. Is that operational or waiting to be demolitioned? They should turn that to a disco :nocrook:

Do you guys have any articles on Israeli cities that you could write?

Like the ones here:
http://www.gomideast.com/Jerusalem/bljerusalem.htm

But on different cities like this one.

Contact info is on this page:

Zohar, for your interest, between WWI and WWII Bosnia-Herzegovina was ruled by a monarchy that did not regard Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) as a nation. Consequently - tens of thousands of Bosniaks went to what is now Israel, mainly to Haifa. If you look a Haifa phone book printed with latin script, you will still see many names ending in IC.

Haifa is the only city in Israel where, according to polls, a majority of both Jews, Arabs, and others want, and feel that they do, live together peacefully. Other cities have the "want", or the "do", but never both. :)

Haifa is very special to me, for my own heritage, and I think it is very special for Israel as a place that, for the most part, has not allowed itself to be...abducted. :)

I think we should bulldoze it, and start over. ;)

Hitler, Stalin, Milosevic, Polpot, and all the others would be so proud. ;)

LOL ! Imo Haifa is beautiful, long time i havent been there... Well actually i dont have good memories to tell the truth, me and my grandma were on a tourist bus got off at the Haifa beach, then they said in the radio that the other tourist bus got blown up 20km far from us...

Mila jews have the same "ic" in the end...:)
Rabinovic
Berkovic

^ Oh I'm aware. :) But they don't have Isabegovic, Bosnjakovic, Islamovic, etc. :D

Islamovic of course not heheheh:))

Jewimovic?

^ Hehehe. The most common Jewish name in Sarajevo is Clockselic, Bikes. They were given this name by Bosnians because they could tell the time by looking at the sun, moon, and stars.

No idea why it's practically English.

bikes???/:)))))))
it's forumer from Hungary:)
what does it mean?

Now thats interesting Mila, i would have tought that they called them Moneyselic instead or something, if its gotta be english name. AAAA thats even better, because sheli in Hebrew means mine (am i right Zohar?) MoneyMine+C :D
Zohar? :) What does what mean? hehe

hehehe yeah sheli=mine

OH wow my Hebrew rooxxx

Ata yodea lama kaha?? Layla tov motek! Kama ve ze ? Boker tov haverim!
LUV ya MOTEK :D (or isnt it Hebrew?! hehe)

Kama ze(or kama ze ole)
hehehe u'r hebrew is exellent!

^ Moneyselic...hehehe. :D

Like Dalit's Father says:

"If I had half of what people thought I had, or a 1/3 of what I earned, I'd be a rich man." ;)

ATRACTIVE, this city is really amazing and has a lot of offers to a foreigner. Haifa is great for my taste.

thanx Urban...come with Betul:))

The proud of Haifa... ;)

Shiri is from Haifa
from the neighbourhood of Kiriat Chaim (yes its in Haifa municipality itself).

Kiriat Bialik/Motskin/Ata/yam are difrenet municipalities in Haifa metro.

i lived in Kiryat Yam when i was young, it may be in haifa's municipality district, but its certainly not in haifa's metro, its a small town....village if you may

Haifa metro consist of Akko Karmiel Tivon and Yokneam as well , the Krayot forge the inner circle of that metro, while Haifa(+Kiryat Chaim) is the inner core.

Kiriat Yam is a center of arsim:)

now i know why do u like Shas:)))

amazing views.my sister had worked in haifa for 2 years.now I know why she loves it so much...

heheh next time come with u'r sister.......

if we think architecturely;
is Haifa best city with it's architecture in Israel(of course after Jarusalem)

Urban girl Tel Aviv is second i think(bauhouse)

Of course Jerusalem is number one, but after I would say Tel Aviv because much of the old architecture is classical European, Jaffa is very nice Crusader/Middle Eastern architecture and the modern bahaus is also very nice. Tel Aviv is a nice blend of cultures...

i thought this because of the bahai temples etc.. i didnt see many big monuments in Tel Aviv pics but i saw fantastic monuments in Haifa pics.
anyway all of them great and very modern cities, pictures say everything:)

I am glad that a picture thread dedicated to Haifa was made into a sticky b/c I was born in this city.

Great.. so you are a citizen of israel?

TalB... welcome to the forums :)

Remember me? I was used to be forumer of SSP before... :P

Tal heheh baruh aba:)

Shohad, yes I am in an Israeli citizen, and it should be obvious that a name like mine isn't American, plus I come back every year.

Reintai, I have not forgotten about you.

ZOHAR, I know what you said, so don't think that just b/c I grew up in Israel, I forgot about Hebrew.

The rest, the introduction is over, so let's get back to showing pics of Haifa.

what a disgusting building....

^^ Why is that?

It's not that I don't like the Sail Tower, but for some reason it seems to make everything immediately around it look older.

aint that the truth. I was in Haifa a year ago, the family I was staying with couldn't stop complaining about that building. It is pretty freakin ugly.

Until now, I have never seen a pic from the port of Haifa with the Sail Tower completed.

Sail tower completed few years ago!WAKE UP,MAN:)

the worst bit is it was planned as one of 5 similar buildings - 3 parallel to the sea and 2 standing 90 degrees to it. The plan ws photographed and presented from above so the buildings looked small and innocent.

Currently this building isthe only one built, alongside a second
tower - Meridien Hotel which was redesigned to be slim and take up less
sea views. The third tower has been luckily halted, hopefully no one will build
these horizontal monsters and to think instead we could have had a slim
36 storey ower instaed of these two 18 storey elephants.

Wowww great place.....i wanna live here:)

Sail tower completed few years ago!WAKE UP,MAN:)
I have been Googling on Haifa in the past few years, and I have hardly found any pics with the Sail Tower from the port when it was completed.

source wonderful pics, i know Tel Aviv is beatiful, and Jarusalem is breathaking and holy but Haifa is always my favourite, when i visit Israel, Haifa will be my first place for visit in Israel.

uRBAN only from this pics?:))
or u has another information about Haifa?

uRban dont listen to anyone saying Haifa is boring theres tons of things to do here,
the best of which is to lie down on the sand beaches!
But there are treks in the carmel, Elija's cave, 7(!) Malls, A panorama trail by car,
5 Museums, Druze villages, the Bahai Gardens, you can tour Acco and the Galilee from Haifa.. and for sports mainly kitesurfing, sailing, swimming, tennis.
Also music festivals, movie festival, arab culture and art trails in wadis,
some lookouts and observatory at the university, park carmel nature reserve and prehistoric caves.
Nightlife is not tel aviv, but its ok.

The problem is most residents of haifa dont know what their city has to offer!
I have trekked in most of the wadis between neighbourhoods (You can see just one of them in the last picture I put here) some have bizantine ruins, unique caves, water springs - Its like stepping into the wilderness with the city just minutes away at all times. Ive trekked in other parts of the world and I can say this is one of the little known great things
to do in Haifa - the wadis are amazing and some have been almost untouched
by man.

Haifa is one of the most beautiful cities in Israel ,no?

Tel Aviv is not in the list:
Ramat Gan is first place.....Ashdod second Haifa third Jerusalem 4th Netanya 5th!

not Tel Aviv and not Eilat!surprise.....

I too am aware that Haifa is very diverse. One time I remember walking down the mountain and into downtown, and I passed by an Ethopian neighborhood. Haifa is home to a number of malls, and the Congress Ctr hosts numerous plays that many come to see. Colleges such as Technion and Haifa University are famous to both Israel and sometimes the world. Also, Haifa is Israel's main port as well as its main financial city (it's actually not Tel Aviv as many believe it to be).

Im sure we lead with the most malls (kenyonim):

Kenyon Haifa,
Kenyon Horev,
Kenyon Panorama
Kenyon Lev Hamiftatz
Hutsot Hamifratz
Grand Kenyon
City Center
Castra Center
Migdal Heniviim

Basically they market anything you want from pots to paintings to
silly blankets and straw furniture, with an oriental (often fake) flavour.

thanx

If you think about that area, the Germans were the first modern Europeans to settle in Haifa, not the British. It is very typical of German houses to have red roofs, b/c the ones in German villages are like that to as well as the houses the Forest Hills Gardens section of Queens in NYC. One thing that bugs me about Europeans in Haifa is where Paris Sq came from. Where the French ever in Haifa at one point, b/c I only know the British and Germans as the first colonial powers in there. Perhaps that area was part of a French settlement, and was annexed by the British.

AFAIK, Paris square was named this way in honour of our friendship with France in the 50s and 60s. ( a relationship that sadly went very sour later on )

Wonderful City :)

Btw Haifa is Düsseldorf's sistercity and the major Yona Yahav is now here in Düsseldorf. He will open the Haifa street tomorrow!

he is? could you give us some more information about that?

^
Unfortunately the article is in german but I will try to traslate:

http://www.rp-online.de/public/article/dtoday/news/aktuell/97617

The german-Israeli relationships are 40 years old and there is a city relationship between Haifa and Düsseldorf since 30 years. Because of this reason Yona Yahav, the major of the israeli sistercity, was invited by Düsseldorf's major Joachim Erwin. He will stay for 4 day (9th to 12th July). He will officially open the "Haifastreet" on the 12th of July.

Biotechnology, tourism, culture and environment are the main topics of this visit.
Erwin welcomed Yahav in the cityhall and Yahav invited Erwin to come to Haifa. Erwin said we will expand our Relationship...

Yahav talked on Monday with some Experts and showed that the location Haifa is a Biotechnologycentre....



I'm sure there will be some photos of the opening tomorrow

Cant wait for the photos ;)

nice.. I like the elijah's cave area.. its like a natural reserve inside the city!

Durring my stay in Haifa, I pretty much was at my grandfathers apartment, and went to places like the malls, beaches, and the Naval Musuem.

yes well no city come even close to haifa with natural beauty..

just a shame we dont realise it and pollute..

One of the things that makes Bat Galim intersting is that it has one side for swimmers and another side for surfers.

i like this bridge:)
http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/3370/post1311133923851tf.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

where is that??!!

Its in nesher, great bridge reminds me of the largest one in the world of its type found in vancouver!

Nesher is suburb of Haifa:)
i have friend there...

Most people do associate Nesher with Haifa the same way Ramat Gan is associated with Tel Aviv.

I love this city so much that i've decided to dedicate my 1000 post to it :cool:

:cheers:

hehehe our sweety boy;)

WOOOW!

I LOVE independence day.... the best day of the year with the best parties

agree...

..

yes despite many development errors, the still untouched green wadis, the mountains, the gardens and the sea are so beautiful they overcome the buildings.. and of course the co-existance of druze, bahai, ahmedis christians, muslims and jews makes it a very special city!
so you are welcome to visit :)

..

Israel philarmonics visit a lot to europe, especially germany..
this is a very developed field here, especially after lots of russian jews who are
professional musicians came here.

I have to admit that I have been to Hadar and I have never recalled seeing these scenes before.

wow haifas more beutiful than i remember (went there when i was like 7) iv never seen so many pictures of the baha'i gardens finished. i dont wanna start a political debate but i hate it when these fundies bomb haifa, major disrespect its a holy place, but acording to them baha'i s dont exist cos were not in the koram, meh as if i care what these idiots say :bash:
cheers for the pics guys :)

Yotvata; is it a resturant that is owned by diary farmers?

shugs - welcome :)

Are you Jewish? and where are you from?

hi shug , as i understood from your post , you are bahaian , are you from india or iran?

he is from Iran

he is from Iran
:sly: The Islamic "Republic" Of Iran that is....

the same one that has problems with Israel and the Map :D

beautiful city... whats the population of haifa?

beautiful city... whats the population of haifa?


320,000..

with the area i think its like 600,000

yotvata is now I think fully (or most) owned by strauss-elite foods,
I dont know if the restaurants as well, I think they are owned by kibbutz Yotvata.

haifa population is 270,000
the metro population is about 550,000, depending on what smaller satelite cities you include.

It's actually the other way, IIRC. - the restraunts are owned by Strauss-Elite, and the milk farm is owned by the Kibbutz.

oh ok, I just know yotvata dairy pruducts are now owned by strauss.

Nice pictures..

:) The Bahai Shrines look nice..

^^ not hard at all you just have to come at the opening hours on most of the week in the morning, because its a holy place they just want you to respect it and be quiet or not walk in most of the gardens but on paths open for tourists

^^^ And you do have to wear long pants.. Short pants are not permitted :)
But it is nice place to go and check out..

Yesterday i went on a big hike on the Carmel mountain range, from the city of haifa all the way across the streams and peaks to the other side near Atlit.
It was one of the most beautiful days i've ever walked in, just a day after heavy rains, unlimited visibility and beautiful skies.

you can find all the pics in my Pbase gallery here (http://www.pbase.com/beivushtang/carmel_ii) , some additional urban pics will be only posted here through imageshack, and many nature pics are only there, if you're intrerested.

Hmmm... This Bahai Temple (not Bahai Gardens) looks very Hellenic. Today temples are not built in this style (except for some churches stylized as classical ones, but not really Hellenic, rather Renaissance).

^^ the bahai adopt building styles from all religions as long as its harmonic (in their eyes) so most buildings have domes, petals, columns, classical forms etc..

nice pics,source!

yes with fantastic view of the Carmel forestesto the east,
and to the west the most dramatic view ever -the Carmel horn with the city of Haifa looking down penetrating into the mediterranean sea .

Sometimes, it's hard too think that I am still in Haifa when I am on the top on the mountains, and that's mainly b/c that area is less dense and more residential.

^^ believe me I do treks in the wadis, sometimes they take a full day to walk in, and its like walking in a forest, you almost dont see the houses above and you dont hear anything, and then you are 5 minutes from home at any time, so its great.. there are secret places of archaelogy, caves, streams, wildlife, hideouts.. and best of all not that many people actually walk in them..

^^ source, these last pics where your own?

down part of Haifa looks very chaotic...
(thanx for pics)

And smell too!
what does that billboard say in Arabic?

I don't know any Arabic, but with the heart, it could be something about Palestine, but I am guessing.

I think it says : "I (heart) Haifa".

you are right Azazel

Take it off...

i want a Fox BIllboard :D

I think it says : "I (heart) Haifa".
And all this time I thought that it had to do with Palestine.
