The gorgeous Baha’i temple in Haifa
Check out this exquisite photo of the Baha’i temple gently resting on the northern slopes of Carmel Mountain and quietly overlooking the city of Haifa. When visiting Israel, be sure not to miss this amazing shrine of the Bab and the magnificent gardens surrounding it. This is the most important place in the world to the Baha’i faith, a monotheistic religion that has some 6 million followers around the world. A tour through the gardens includes an elaborated explanation about this fascinating faith and thus you are in for both an intellectual adventure as well as spiritual. Due to the importance of the shrine and gardens only guided tours are allowed and visitors should call the temple’s tourist office and book their tour in advance. Still, this small annoyance is more then worth your time, its one of the most beautiful places in the country and in the world.
To book a tour call: Sun -Thurs, 9am-5pm, 04-8313131
