🌿✨The Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa: A Spiritual & Architectural Masterpiece🌿✨

On the slopes of Mount Carmel, the Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa are one of Israel’s most breathtaking landmarks. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, these 19 immaculate terraces form the spiritual & administrative centre of the Bahá’í Faith - a religion focused on unity, peace & equality.
The terraces of the Bahá’í Gardens represent spiritual ascension; at the heart of the gardens sits the Shrine of the Báb, its magnificent golden dome glimmering in the Mediterranean sunlight.
The gardens combine elements of Persian design, European landscaping & local Mediterranean flora. From every angle, there is balance & symmetry, creating a space that feels calm & deeply spiritual.
As you wander the paths, you’ll be treated to panoramic views over Haifa Bay, the city below & the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Bahá’í Faith began in the 19th century in Persia (modern-day Iran). It was founded by Bahá’u’lláh, whose teachings focus on the unity of all humanity and religions. At its heart, the Bahá’í Faith promotes:
-
Oneness of humanity - a world free from prejudice & discrimination
-
Unity of all religions - recognising prophets such as Moses, Jesus, Muhammad & others as part of one divine story
-
Equality & justice - advocating for gender equality & universal education
-
World peace - a vision of global cooperation & harmony
The gardens are open every day except Monday, with guided tours available in English. Advance booking is required to ensure entry, as numbers are limited to preserve the gardens’ peaceful atmosphere.
Haifa is known for its cultural diversity, where Jews, Christians, Muslims & Bahá’ís live side by side.
