These gardens, located in the heart of Haifa, comprise a staircase of 19 terraces extending all the way up the northern slope of Mount Carmel. The golden-domed Shrine of the Bab, the resting place of the Prophet-Herald of the Baha'i Faith, stands on the central terrace, looking across the bay towards Acre. While different parts of the gardens offer a variety of experiences, they speak in a common language of graveled paths, hedges and flower beds groomed and nurtured by dedicated gardeners.
