Years go, I arrived from Athens to Haifa by boat. It was such a beautiful way to begin my trip. I would like to do something similar with my family but I understand there are no more boats from Greece. What other ports are there?
Thanks for your help

Are pubs and restaurants open on Friday nights in Haifa. I am staying near the German Colony.

Shalom! how are you all?

I have a question regarding the "famous" guided tour of the Gardens. I read in the VT forum and in others that you *had* to make reservations for a tour and just for one area and well in advance.

Now I'm at http://www.tour-haifa.co.il/eng/modules/article/view.article.php/c14/59/p0 and they say, I quote: "It is possible to visit three areas of the Bahai Gardens without making an appointment" and that "if you want you can take part in a guided tour...".

So now I see there's no such "obligation" in hiring a tour, which I thought there was. Is this so? One can go and visit the gardens all alone?

thanks a lot, kind regards

Hello,

I used to live in Haifa, more than 10 years ago.
There used to be a store named "Golf" with nice clothes ...

Does that store still exists? Do they have a website? I would really like to be able to buy something online from them.

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to be in Haifa for a couple of months and was wondering if there is any musical instrument shops? And a place where I could get ethnic instruments in Haifa? Thanks

Why is the info about the panorama mall so useless?
What stores are there?

Hello,
I am flying to Haifa next week and was just (so far without success) looking for a good jazz club there...
Maybe anybody could recommend me one?

Hi guys,

I got a job offer to work with a NGO in Haifa, and I would like to know how much you need to live over there.

My job will provide me with accommodation (all expenses paid), health cover and around US$ 400 just for my own expenditure.

Do you think that its enough?

Please feel free to send me any comment. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thanks a lot!

I plan to go to Haifa from the Dead Sea by car. My options are several. But if I rent a car inn Jerusalem and drive to the Dead Sea (Msada) in the morning and drive back to Tel Aviv and then Haifa late in the day. Would that be a good idea? Also, I heard that Haifa is a difficult place to drive around and orient oneself. We are not familiar with Haifa at all. Would it be hard to find a street?

What is the most convenient way of getting to Haifa from Tel Aviv? I want to get to Haifa by 9:00 am on a Saturday. How much would it cost? How can I find out more about it? Any Train schedules? Taxi costs? Other alternatives?

Hello all, I am a 20yr old female moving to Haifa to study beginning January 2,2006. I will be there for a while and I was wondering what I should pack, where I should eat, how I should travel from the Tel-Aviv airport, what should I prepare myself for, and what are some must-do's and must don'ts. Basically, I don't know anyone or anything in Haifa, so I am happily taking a blind step forward. I appreciate all the help and advice I can get.

Can anyone help me?
How do you get from Haifa to Tiberias by public transport? I went to see the egged.co.il but I could not find any connections. Which one is the main bus station name on the egged.co.il list from all the names starting with haifa? Is it possible that there are no buses?
Are there sheruts maybe?

Hi, I'm a 29 yr old single english male who has been offered a position outside of Haifa.
I am currently living in tel aviv. I recently went to haifa to see what it was like and whether I could live there, and I found it very very quiet.
I went to Merkz Carmel and I think I counted 4/5 bars/pubs. Not very much. OK, I won't be going out every night and there's only so many bars/ pubs you need but there seems to be very little energy/ excitement expecially for single people in their late 20's.
A few people have told me that there are more cafe's bars in Hadar and the German Colony is this true? Are there young israelis who go out? Or are they all studying really hard at the Technion??

I am arriving next May by ferry from Cyprus. I plan to ren ta car in Haifa the address of the renatal place is 84 Hahistradut Blv. Is this close to port -- walking distance or do I have to use a taxi.

Thanks in advance
