Top Haifa Trolley Tours

After three millennia of human habitation, the city was rebuilt three centuries ago as HAIFA al-JADIDA, when the country was independent and prosperous, Muslim and multi-cultural. Trek through time as we travel across town by foot and public transport, by bus and cable car, through the air and underground. Hear how New HAIFA was ruled by the regional empires of Egypt and Turkey, and invaded by far-off foreigners from France and India. See how the city became a hothouse for Islamic innovators from Persia to Pakistan, and how a science fiction novel authored by a Jewish journalist in Victorian Vienna inspired HAIFA's twentieth-century transformation into Israel's industrial capital. Explore what remains of the city's Palestinian presence, and how the ongoing struggles over the character of the country play out on the streets of HAIFA to this very day. Bring along a few friends and treat yourselves to a half-day SHATNEZ walking tour of HAIFA hosted by local journalist DAVID SHEEN.
