About Tirat Carmel

Squeezed between the western slopes of Mount Carmel and the Mediterranean, Tirat Carmel continues Haifa southwards along Route 4, sharing borders with the Haifa municipality, the Hof HaCarmel regional council and Carmel Park. The town was established in 1949 on the site of the village of al-Tira, with two immigrant absorption centres that merged into a municipality in 1954; city status followed in 1992. New districts are under way, including HaHotrim, planned on the farmland of the neighbouring kibbutz with a park and a high-tech zone. Getting here: the Haifa Hof HaCarmel railway station and its bus terminal lie just to the north, then a few minutes by bus or taxi; by car, exit Route 4. Streets in the old centre slope and offer few spaces, so aim for the car parks of the newer neighbourhoods.
