Haifa is the third-largest city in the State of Israel. It is home to the Bahá'í World Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a destination for Baha'i pilgrims. Built on the slopes of Mount Carmel, the settlement has a history spanning more than 3,000 years. The earliest known settlement in the vicinity was Tell Abu Hawam, a small port city established in the Late Bronze Age (14th century BCE). In the 3rd century CE, Haifa was known as a dye-making center.
Today, the city is a major seaport located on Israel's Mediterranean coastline in the Bay of Haifa covering 63.7 square kilometres (24.6 sq mi). The city plays an important role in Israel's economy. It is also home to Matam, one of the oldest and largest high-tech parks in the country. Haifa Bay is a center of heavy industry, petroleum refining and chemical processing. Haifa formerly functioned as the western terminus of an oil pipeline from Iraq via Jordan.
Honeymoon with Kingsbridge
I have been booking vacations with Kindsbridge Travel for over 5 years and just recently came back from my Honeymoon, which was all made possible by travel agent, Diane Ross. The level of detail that Diane provides a customer is jaw dropping. Whether it was an email, a phone call, or even an in-person visit before our honeymoon, my wife and I were always given the most up-to-date information which helped us make a smart choice on where we wanted to go. I have recommended Kingsbridge Travel to multiple people because I have never had such positive customer service before. One example will always stick out in my mind. The night before I left the country for my honeymoon, I received a notification from the airline saying that there was a travel advisory and flights in/out of Italy could be delayed or canceled. Now please note, Diane was away on business and unavailable via the regular means of communication but don't fear - her husband stepped in and emailed/called me at 10:30pm in order to let me know what was going on and how it would all be handled. I knew I was in good hands and I didn't worry about a thing! With Diane, you can ask her for recommendations and you will get an honest answer. She travels the world for a living and can give you first-hand knowledge into the places you want to go. I have never been so satisfied with all my vacations before and I owe her a big thank you for everything she has done. My wife and I are looking into booking another vacation next summer already and can't wait to work with Diane and Kingsbridge Travel.
