Haifa
Haifa is the largest city in Northern Israel, the fifth largest in the country, with a population of over 265,000, with another 300,000 living in neighboring provinces, including Krayot, Tirat Carmel, Daliyat al-Karmel, and Nesher. These areas come together to form a municipality, which houses nearly 600,000 people and serves as the central core of the Haifa metropolitan area. Haifa is a multi-ethnic city, with more than 90% of the population being Jews, more than a quarter of whom are Soviet Union immigrants, and 10% being Arabs, primarily Christians.
Haifa's climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. In March, temperatures begin to rise, signaling the arrival of spring. Significantly warmer temperatures near the end of May herald the arrival of warm summer days. Despite its reputation as an industrial port city, Haifa has much to offer tourists, including stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and a magnificent beach promenade. There are numerous museums, cultural centers, and theaters to choose from. The Bahá' World Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular destination for Bahá' pilgrims worldwide is perhaps Haifa's most internationally recognized attraction. The Bahá gardens are a sight to behold both during the day and at night.
