Haifa is not the most beautiful city in the world, nor is it the most exciting. It is not the biggest city in Israel (it is the third), and unfortunately not the most interesting city in Israel.
Nevertheless, Haifa is my hometown, I was born and raised in it, and I have grown to like it.
Haifa is situated on and around the beautiful Carmel mountain, next to the Haifa bay in northern Israel. The picture above was taken from my apartment in Ramat Chen, a neighborhood overlooking Nave Sha'anan (a large neighborhood on the Carmel), and the small Ziv neighborhood in particular.
More pictures of Haifa are included below: The first picture below is of a part of the Haifa Bay Industrial Zone (at the foot of the Carmel mountain), as seen from the Nave Sha'anan neighborhood on the Carmel mountain. Clearly visible in the picture are the Lev Hamifratz shopping mall, the oil refineries, and the Histadrut Road (part of the route no. 4) leading to the Krayot (the suburbs north of Haifa) and to Acre (Ako).
In the future, this page will host my Haifa photo album. Meanwhile, to read more about Haifa, have a look at the Haifa section of my Israeli Internet Guide. A map of Haifa, as well as more information about the city, can be found in the municipality site.
