HAIFA HISTORICAL TOUR SERIES - THE GHOST OF OLD HAIFA
19.07.2021
For the next part in our series of historical tours of Haifa, we explored the emergence of the "new Haifa" in the second half of the 18th century, when the autonomous Arab ruler Zahir al-Umar al-Zaydani ordered to move the fishing village of Haifa to a new location and enclose it with a city wall. This is how New Haifa was born. The excursion started in the Lower City, walking along walls that no longer exist today and visiting the remains of the old city buildings of the ancient town.
This was a very informative excursion and I am so glad to be able to attend this whole series of historical tours. Thanks to the guide for a fascinating opportunity to know about our city. I await the next meetings!
