Haifa is the third-largest city in Israel, and is home to the Bahá’í World Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We left Jerusalem at 7am, slept through the mountainous journey and arrived around 9am, only to be awakened by the majestic Mediterranean Sea.
After a scenic view and too much gasping and murmuring of wanting to come back and hang out by the beach, we found ourselves at the Bahá’í World Centre – Haifa’s main tourist attraction. The spiritual and administration centre of the Bahá’í faith is encircled in an unimaginably beautiful garden, with the golden Shrine of the Báb as its crowning glory.
Even though the shrine itself is under construction, I was blown away by the garden in which every flower and leave told a story of tender care and perfect poetry.
I want to go back. Now! Okay, okay, maybe not right now, but one weekend very soon you will catch me by the Mediterranean singing Don Henley’s The Boys of Summer. I can’t wait
