Located in the heart of Haifa, the Bahá’í Gardens is made up of a staircase with nineteen terraces leading all the way up the northern slope of Mount Carmel. Standing on the central terrace is the golden-domed Shrine of the Báb, the resting place of the Prophet-Herald of the Bahá’í Faith, looking across the bay towards Akko. The one thing these nineteen terraces have in common are the graveled paths, hedges and flower beds groomed and nurtured by dedicated gardeners.
The gardens frame panoramic views of the city, the Galilee Hills and the Mediterranean Sea. The Bahá’í Gardens is one of the most popular sites in the Middle East. It has an indivisual design, combining geometrical shapes and beautiful detailing with a devotion to preserving the natural and historic scenery.
