Haifa Summary

Explored Haifa mainly on Wednesday when I did 15,874 steps, with shorter walks in the evenings

I did not explore the outskirts of the city, which sprawls all over all sides of the mountain. It is a spectacular setting with the housing of apartments seemingly glued to the hillside, beaches all along the coast and the harbour. Haifa is a major port with all kinds of ships. It is the home port of the Israeli Navy, has multiple container terminals, grain ship terminal, oil tanker terminal and refineries and finally a large cruise ship port.

My Bat Galim neighborhood is quite peaceful with the beach area and well connected and near to the central area.

Haifa is a good base to explore Acre which is super worth visiting and to access other areas in the north.Read more
