Hadar HaKarmel, Administrative district on Mount Carmel slopes in Haifa, Israel
Hadar HaKarmel is an administrative district on Mount Carmel's slopes in Haifa, stretching between the city's upper and lower sections. The area rises on the northern side with views of the port and bay below.
The district grew in its early years under Shmuel Pevzner's leadership and attracted many Jewish residents to the area. This expansion made it a significant part of Haifa's development during the 1900s.
The area bears the mark of Bauhaus architecture brought by Jewish architects fleeing persecution, shaping the district's distinctive look. Walking through, you notice how these buildings still stand out and tell stories of people who came here seeking safety.
The Carmelit subway system connects the district to downtown Haifa, making it easy for visitors and residents to move around the area. The several stations along this line help you explore different parts of the neighborhood.
A former Technion building now houses the Israel National Museum of Science, Technology, and Space, preserving educational heritage in the area. This museum lets visitors explore the region's past and scientific progress in one place.
