Aki erre a krnykre tervezi az utazst, annak csak annyit tudok tancsolni, hogy mindenflekppen menjen.
Sok helyet rdemes megnzni, s aki egyszer ott jrt, az mindig vissza akar menni…
Az orszgrl most ltalnossgban nem rok, arrl sem, hogy hogyan fogadjk az embert a reptren, a kln lmny legyen mindenki szmra meglepets.
Haifa vrosnak tkletes a fekvse. A Karmel hegysg s a Fldkzi – tenger kombincja lenygz ltvnyt ad, soha nem tudtam betelni vele.
Az ghajlat magyarok szmra kicsit meleg lehet, ezrt n az szt s a tavaszt ajnlanm. A nyr meleg, s flledt.
A vrosrl annyit kell tudni, hogy azon kevs helyek kz tartozik, ahol arabok s zsidk egytt lnek, igazbl ez adja meg Haifa igazi szellemt. Jelen van az ortodox negyed, az orosz negyed, a krnyk, ahol az idsebb magyar nagymamkkal lehet tallkozni, s termszetesen a rgi vroskzpont, ahol a tlnyom tbbsg palesztin.
Kezdsnek a rgi vrosrszt ajnlanm, (Wadi nisnas), ahol a klasszikus arab bazrral tallkozhat az oda utaz, nmi modernsggel fszerezve. Nem nagy terletrl van sz, de a bazrok, kvzk, s a shauarma rusok (ottani gyros) nyjtotta egyveleg kellemes benyomst hagy az emberben. Esti programnak ajnlanm valamelyik tezt – kvzt, egy vizipipval (nargheley) kombinlva.
gy gondolom nem sokan tallkoztak mg a „Bahai” vallssal, de aki Haifba utazik, az felttlenl rja be a valamelyik keresbe, s nzzen utna egy kicsit. Ennek a vallsnak a kzpontja Haifban tallhat, a vezetjknek ptett sr- emlkhely a vros szvben tallhat. A valls kveti rendkvli hangslyt fektetnek a szpsgre s az eszttikra, s az emlkhely ennek megfelelen nz ki. Gynyr.
Ha valaki tugrik Akko vrosba (szomszdos vros az bl msik oldaln) akkor esti programnak felttlenl iktassa be a tengerparti stt, ahonnan lthat a Bahai templom.
Haifa (Hebrew: חֵיפָה, Hefa; Arabic: حيفا, Ḥayfā[2]) is the largest city in northern Israel, and the third-largest city in the country, with a population of over 265,000. Another 300,000 people live in towns directly adjacent to the city including the cities of the Krayot, as well as, Tirat Carmel, Daliyat al-Karmel and Nesher. Together these areas form a contiguous urban area home to nearly 600,000 residents which makes up the inner core of the Haifa metropolitan area.[1][3] A mixed city, 90% are Jews, more than a quarter of whom are immigrants from the former Soviet Union, while 10% are Arabs, predominantly of the Christian faith.[4] It is also home to the Bah' World Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[5][6]
Built on the slopes of Mount Carmel, the history of settlement at the site spans more than 3,000 years. The earliest known settlement in the vicinity was Tell Abu Hawam, a small port city established in the Late Bronze Age (14th century BCE).[7] In the 3rd century CE, Haifa was known as a dye-making center. Over the centuries, the city has changed hands: It has been conquered and ruled by the Phoenicians, Hebrews, Persians, Hasmoneans, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottomans, Egyptians, British, and the Israelis. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the city has been governed by the Haifa Municipality.
Today, the city is a major seaport located on Israel's Mediterranean coastline in the Bay of Haifa covering 63.7 square kilometres (24.6 sq mi). It is located about 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of Tel Aviv and is the major regional center of northern Israel. Two respected academic institutions, the University of Haifa and the Technion, are located in Haifa, and the city plays an important role in Israel's economy. It has several high-tech parks, among them the oldest and largest in the country,[8] an industrial port, and a petroleum refinery. Haifa was formerly the western terminus of an oil pipeline from Iraq via Jordan
