Wadi Nisnas

View the cargo and cruise ships scuttling around the largest seaport in Israel from the viewpoint at the top of Mount Carmel.

Elegant terraces and sculptures stand beside the colorful floral layouts and palm tree rows in the enormous Hanging Gardens of Haifa that commemorate the Báb.

Perched on the side of Mount Carmel, the founding convent of the Carmelite Order has scenic coastal views and an ornate interior filled with biblical imagery.

Calm waters in the bay provide ideal swimming and stand-up paddling conditions on a beach where men and women are segregated.

A children’s playground and consistent waves keep the kids amused, while a cable car provides panoramic views of the whole area.

Surfing and dancing are among the regular activities on this beach with a lively promenade, an amphitheater and a toddler’s pool.
