University sights in Haifa

  1. University of Haifa

    One of Israel's premier places of higher learning, University of Haifa , 5.5km south of Carmel Centre, covers all areas of academia, but specialises in the liberal arts. There is another spin on 'higher learning' here as the university is perched spectacularly on the summit of Mt Carmel with views of Haifa and far beyond. The best place to take in the panorama is from the observation deck of the 27-storey Eshkol Tower, which was designed by the renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.

    Tours of the university can be made, but by advanced booking only; call to make a reservation.
