ELAL Guide to Haifa Israel Frequent Flyer Club 2 Flight Status Australia EN Passenger Information TravelELAL guide to Haifa Israel Frequent Flyer Club Login Accessibility Haifa​​​​ - A Thriving Hub of Cultures, History, and Scenery Haifa, the third largest city in Israel, and the largest one in northern Israel, is a thriving hub of cultures, history, and some of the country’s most beautiful scenery. Built along the Mediterranean and atop the Carmel Range, Haifa is dripping with greenery and natural flora and fauna anywhere you look. Get To Know Haifa Since ancient times and up until today, Haifa is one of the country’s two main port towns, with much of the Israel’s imported goods passing through its gates. Haifa’s geographical conditions - plain by the sea and hilly and steep as you head up; divide the city into two main parts - downtown and uptown, both internally divided again into many different suburbs and neighborhoods. Each area of Haifa is uniquely characterized - the city’s downtown, in close proximity to the port, is much more industrial, grubby and commerce-oriented, yet full of some of the city’s best restaurants, pubs and night clubs. Predominantly Arab, this authentic part of town preserved some of its historical nature, both in its culture and its architecture; beautiful, old, dilapidated buildings dating back to the Ottoman Empire years, are dotted all throughout, amidst some of Israel’s finest Arab restaurants and eateries. As you head up towards the city's uptown part, the stunning scenery of Haifa’s Bay is revealed in all its glory. The city’s uptown neighborhoods are relatively newer, most of which are draped in local flora and fauna, making for beautiful drives around the city, as well as a green balance for the heavy pollution downtown. Haifa’s demographic makeup changed drastically during the 1990’s, when it absorbed the largest amount of Russian immigrants of any other major city in Israel. Haifa's History During the First World War the Ottoman Empire brigades filled the city with artillery to prevent the British army from arriving via the port. However the British forces did take over the city eventually, in 1918. The port became a docking station for the forces on their way to Syria and Lebanon in the north. It took the British army a week to get from Haifa to Damascus and conquer it, and by doing so they have completed their battle for the Middle East, and the British mandate era began. Haifa then became the main base for the British forces in the area, serving as a strategic center point between Sinai in the south and Beirut in the north. The port connected the Middle East to Europe via sea, and the Valley train route, passing through Haifa, connected it to Europe by rail. Due to the city’s geographical positioning, and the port’s strategic importance, the city continued to be a major British stronghold during the Second World War. During those years it was air-bombed ten times - more than any other city in what later became the state of Israel. Nowadays Haifa has grown to become a thriving and multicultural metropolis of commerce, industries, tourism, and culture. Haifa’s history, beauty and cultural diversity make it a unique tourist destination, and one of the most interesting Israeli large cities to visit. A combination of stunning bay views, industrial areas, hilly quaint neighborhoods, delicious food and a variety of cultural activities all-year-round, make Haifa one of Israel’s favorite tourist destinations.

  • PPP Projects in Israel
    PPP Projects in Israel Last update: January, 2021 PPP Projects in Israel 1) General Overview The current scope of infrastructure investment in the State of Israel is significantly lower than comparable PPP in Projects Israel countries around the world. This gap can be seen in traffic congestion and the low percentage of electricity production from renewable energy. Therefore, in 2017, Israel’s Minister of Finance appointed an inter-ministerial team to establish a national strategic plan in order to advance and expand investments in infrastructure projects. According to the team's conclusions, while in OECD countries the stock of economic infrastructure (transportation, water and energy) forms 71% of the GDP; in Israel it constitutes only 50% of the GDP. 1 PPP PROJECTS (Public Private Partnership) One of the main recommendations of the team was to substantially increase the investment in infrastructure by 2030. According to the team's evaluation, Such projects feature long-term where the present scope of infrastructure investments is maintained, the agreements between the State and a concessioner: the public sector existing gap from the rest of the world will further grow; in order to reach transfers to the private sector the the global average, a considerable increase of the infrastructure investments responsibility for providing a public in Israel is required through 2030. infrastructure, product or service, PPP in Projects Israel The team further recommended to, inter alia: develop a national including the design, construction, financing, operation and infrastructure strategy for Israel; improve statutory procedures; establish maintenance, in return for payments new financing tools for infrastructure investments and adjust regulation in based on predefined criteria.

    ISSUE: 18 September 1992 ISSN 0964-8763 A Quarterly Journal on the Railways of the Middle East Edited and Published by Rabbi Walter Rothschild, 9 Primley Gardens, Leeds LS 17 7HT. England 18:1 "Kilometre 0" - the datum post for all line measurements at Haifa Esat station in July 1992, as Esslingen 0-6-OD No. 221 (in new livery) hauls containers from the port past the doomed semaphores. 18: 2 EDITORIAL Welcome to Issue 18. It has caused me problems, but for good reasons — that is to say, there is such a lot happening at the moment on the railways of the Middle East, and especially in Israel, that I could have filled the magazine wholly with current events. However, the aim is to make each issue as balanced as possible with the material available - so despite the lengthy reports on the modernisation and expansion of Israel Railways and the welcome reactivation of the Carmelit, there are historical items and expansion of earlier topics. This issue is due out in September 1992 - exactly one hundred years since the opening of the first railway in what is now Israel, that from Jaffa to Jerusalem. Alas, it is not yet clear what celebrations are being organised, apart from the issue of commemorative postage stamps, but I hope to bring out a special issue soon to mark the occasion. For now — let us take heart that the system in Israel is looking healthier than for many a long year, let us note with sadness that the Hedjaz system appears to be on its last legs (or wheels), and let us hope that the next hundred years are as interesting <though hopefully less violent) than the last hundred years have been.
