Shefa-Amr

Shefa-Amr extends across elevated terrain at 70 meters above sea level, featuring both modern structures and traditional buildings throughout its neighborhoods.

The location transformed from an Early Bronze Age settlement into a regional center during the Ottoman period, marked by substantial cotton production.

The population includes Sunni Muslims, Christian Arabs, and Druze communities, each maintaining their religious practices and traditions within the city.

Regular bus services connect the city to Haifa from Merkazit ha-Mifrats terminal, with additional routes stopping at Shefar'am Junction near the old town.

The ancient synagogue contains the tomb of Rabbi Judah ben Baba, with a local Muslim resident serving as the keeper of its keys.
