The Magical Bahá'í Gardens in Haifa

The Bahá'í Gardens in Haifa are comprised of nineteen landscaped terraces of flowers, waterworks and sculptures on the northern slope of Mount Carmel.

They offer a stunning panoramic view of Haifa and the Mediterranean Sea. At its heart stands Shrine of the Báb with its magnificent gold dome.

Daily opening hours: 9:00 to 17:00, but the inner gardens near the shrine close at 12:00 noon. Closed on 24.5, and 29.5 due to Bahá’í Holy Days. This is a religious site open to the general public without charge. It's recommended to wear comfortable shoes and visitors are asked to dress modestly.
