Traveling North to Haifa, your first stop on the cable car ascent will be a visit to the church with a breathtaking view of Haifa Bay.
Continuing to the Baha’i House of Justice – The Baha’i Faith is one of the youngest religions in the world. It originated in Iran in 1844 when Sayyid Ali Muhammad declared his mission to pave the way for the coming of the great prophet who would usher in a new chapter of peace, brotherhood, and unity. Due to his influential status, authorities in Iran chose not to execute him but instead exiled him to Acre. His son, Abdul, also faced imprisonment and designated Haifa as the holiest city for the faith. Baha’is welcome followers of all religions, but any Jew wishing to join must emigrate from Israel, as Baha’u’llah committed to the Sultan not to engage in missionary activities within Israel.
It is advisable to schedule a guided tour and check opening hours for the public.
We will continue north towards Rosh Hanikra.
The nature reserve is located at the northern tip of the Mediterranean Sea coastline in Israel and is distinguished by the steep cliff descending into the sea and its rugged shoreline. Mounting from the north, it reaches a height of 300 meters, overlooking the Western Galilee. South of the cliff, there are three islands: Tchelet, Shahaf, and Nachlieli. The area includes natural caves with seawater, near the border with Lebanon. Open between 8:00 and 16:00, there is no need to make a reservation in advance.
If your schedule allows on your way back, I recommend visiting the city of Acre. Acre is one of the ancient port cities in the world and has been a key player in the history of the Land of Israel for many years. Acre holds cultural and historical significance, and a stroll through its streets allows you to witness the unique blend of different cultures. The maritime history of the city is well-documented, dating back to the early Bronze Age.
