Haifa, uma das cidades mais belas de Israel. Conheça um pouco sobre ela nesta apresentação.

1. I have liked Haifa ever since I was a kid.

2. How can someone not fall in love with such a sight?

4. It started with the obligatory
return train ride to Haifa

5. It started with the obligatory
return train ride to Haifa
Taking the
cable car up to
Stella Maris

6. It started with the obligatory
return train ride to Haifa
Taking the
cable car up to
Stella Maris
And boarding Israel’s one and
only subway system

9. The unique structures of the Bahai temple,
Dagon granary, the cranes in the port, dad
maneuvering the meandering streets… Haifa
was a magical maze hiding surprises.

10. It was only when I grew up that I
found the perfect excuse to know
Haifa better: study in its university.

11. The Haifa Project
Introduction

12. In all coast towns of Israel, moving along the
coast means you advance north or south. But
driving from Carmel beach towards the port,
you actually turn 135 degrees.
This wicked mount Carmel and the gulf of Haifa!
135
Add the mountainous residential areas, the
creeks dissecting the city, the meandering
roads, and get a city which is far from “straight
forward”, literally…

13. 500meters above sea level, on
Eshkol Tower’s 30th
floor, resides one
of the best viewpoints in Israel.
Except for views to Mt. Hermon in the
north and Tel Aviv in the south, it’s
the best place to start a tour in Haifa
and get oriented.

14. For a start, here’s the North…

15. Now let’s see what happens when we
travel along the coast in Haifa

16. We arrive from Tel
Aviv to “Carmel

Here’s
“Carmel Beach”
This is the tip of
the Carmel ridge
The South Western part of
the Gulf of Haifa where
Haifa port is located

23. Haifa does not make a
fuss of itself and does not
need to reinvent itself.
With its unique beauty,
luxury is out of the
question, and in its
humble way, it doesn’t
need to show it off.

25. *Well ain’t that just a
masculine habit?
I like exploring Haifa
top down and bottom
up *
Every viewing spot
reveals something
intriguing.

27. Numerous staircases
connect the Carmel
neighborhoods with
the sea, traversing
Haifa’s hidden
treasures.

29. Haifa excels with its
buildings as well, old
and new

30. Haifa excels with its
buildings as well, old
and new

34. Even memorials in Haifa are unique:
Builders of the Hijaz railway, “Dakar” submarine
soldiers and the Jewish Partisan warriors.

35. Haifa is soaked in dazzling green, like I
haven’t seen anywhere in Israel nor even in
some famous cities abroad.

36. Houses and buildings
owners are inspired by
the urban nature and
demonstrate superb
gardening skills.
Sometimes I feel that I
am strolling in a
Moshav or a Kibbutz
rather than in a big
city…

39. Natural beauty at its best is formed by the creeks
dividing the ranges. One minute you’re in town and a
minute later, walking in the forest towards the sea

41. And the shores of Haifa…
…not to mention,
the girls of Haifa…
