Haifa District, Administrative district in northern Israel
Haifa District is an administrative region along the Mediterranean coast that combines urban centers with agricultural and rural areas. The territory includes several major cities and diverse economic sectors ranging from industry to farming.
The district was established in 1953 when Israel created its current administrative boundaries, replacing the system left by the British Mandate. This reorganization shaped the region as it exists today.
The district is home to Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze residents who coexist in the same communities. As you walk through neighborhoods, you see different religious sites and traditions practiced openly in daily life.
The region is best explored by car or bus, as the cities are spread across different routes throughout the territory. The coastal location makes accessing ports and beaches straightforward.
The region is home to Israel's main northern port, one of the country's largest cargo hubs. This port facility is central to international trade and defines much of the area's economic activity.
