Haifa
Haifa (Hebrew: חֵיפָה ) is the largest city in northern Israel, and the third largest city in the country, with a population of over 277,082. Another 300,000 people live in towns directly adjacent to the city including Daliyat al-Karmel, the Krayot, Nesher, Tirat Carmel, and some Kibbuzim. Together these areas form a contiguous urban area home to nearly 600,000 residents which makes up the inner core of the Haifa metropolitan area, the second or third most populous metropolitan area in Israel. It is also home to the Bahá'í World Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and destination for Baha'i pilgrims.
The city is a major seaport located on Israel's Mediterranean coastline in the Bay of Haifa. It is located about 90 kilometres (56 miles) north of Tel Aviv and is the major regional center of northern Israel.
