Haifa and the Northern Coast Places

Isfiya

Very similar to neighboring Daliyat el Carmel, Isfiya is a village of flat-roof homes built closely together into the hillside, many of them raised on pillars and cut with arched windows. Hospitality is second nature to the Druze who live here; you may be able to visit a village home and eat pita bread with yogurt cheese and spices while hearing about Druze life.

As you leave the village, at the top of the hill note the vista of the Jezreel Valley opening suddenly on your right. The approach to Haifa also affords a magnificent view of the coast stretching up to Akko, across the bay.
