Haifa HiFi

by haiamisa - last update: Sep 19, 2009

Haifa for all kinds of reasons..

Old and new Haifa
I visit Haifa often for all kinds of reasons and not so much for only travel.
I need to go there to run errands, which often are boring business like banking, hospitals, shopping... But sometimes I go to concerts and shows too, to Haifa International Convention Center.
[See the travelogue below.]

Interesting facts:
I once visited the Oil Refinery of Haifa on a study field trip.

Cruising off Haifa Port

I have cruised off Haifa Port (and returned to) on five different cruises:
Club1 September 1999
Serenade April 2000
The IRIS May 2001
The IRIS August 2006
The Royal Iris September 2009

Interesting facts about other cruises from other Israeli ports:

September 2000 Regina Maris from Eilat port
October 2000 Silver Star from Ashdod port
The famous Bahai temple in Haifa
UPDATE:

In February and March 2009 I spent lots of time in Haifa and had a chance to see more of the city. More tips and photographs have been added!

Pros:"Port city, concerts, Bahai gardens"
Cons:"Hospitals, banks and traffic jams - takes 2 hours from my home to get there."
In A Nutshell:"I should really live closer to Haifa"

 Too bad about the malonit. I can't believe they doubled the price! About the 2 cups of tea/coffee, I suspect the waiter had his hearing aid turned off...LOL		Veroali Sun Apr 5, 2009 15:27 UTC
