We were not expecting much when we parked in front of this art museum. I mean, I read it was free so I thought we'd be in and out in a mediocre museum within 25 minutes. These assumptions were very wrong. Instead we explored both galleries and it took us 3 hours to explore this great place. There are two separate pavilions. One is dedicated to the (expelled in 1492) Jews of Spain/Portugal and the other pavilion dedicated to some classic and modern (Dali) Latin American Art. Each pavilion is very different in terms of it's contents and architecture. Walking around, I was blown away by the Moorish architecture, the spacious grounds and facility, the attention to detail, history and cleanliness, (wait a minute, am I sure I am in Israel? Because usually these facilities are in a state of neglect with very little attention to detail. No, no, this place is a rare gemstone and is a must for any visitor. What a pleasant surprise!! My hat off to the Recanati family - thank you so much for this gift of a museum.

Ganei HaNadiv (Ramat HaNadiv) is the name of the gardens that in my opinion, are the most beautiful gardens in Israel. Amazing, well-kept, and most spectacular gardens. The gardens are a memorial site to Baron Edmund de Rothschild and his wife, and in the center of the gardens is the tomb where their bones, which were brought to Israel in 1954, were buried. The tomb cave was hewn in the highest rocky area in the complex and around it are located stylish gardens on various topics such as: the Rose Garden, the Palm Garden, the Waterfall Garden, the Engagement garden and the most special of them all, is the Scent Garden, intended mainly for the blinds. The gardens have an abundance of stunning vegetation, rest areas and picnic areas. Suitable for a trip with children. Spectacular views on one hand mountains in the east and on the west views to the sea. Highly recommended for spending days and evenings. NOT 2 B MISSED.

I took my kids here at the end of the summer. they range in age from 9-24. we were all fascinated by the stories told by the very passionate and well-spoken young people who work here. admission was very reasonable as we were all one family and were charged as such. it took about 2 hours to go through. we heard the stories of the 'exodus' and other ships that tried to sneak Jews into what is now the State of Israel in the 1940s, during and after WWII. there are all sorts of relics here, pictures, hulls of ships and even the entire "Af al pi chen" boat that succeeded in entering the area. our guide spoke a great english and held all of our attention without fail. my kids were so excited to see all the cool maritime stuff- submarines that we could walk though, missile launchers, cool sonar equipment. they close quite early and were eager to leave on time, we could have stayed longer to wander around the old ships but we were shooed out by the guard at 4 o'clock, I believe. there are bathrooms on premises and vending machines with snacks and drinks but no gift shop or snack bar. I highly recommend a visit to this off-the-beaten-track museum.

Serving as a pilgrimage centre, this impressive church of the Carmelite Order houses a collection of antiques and its nearby monastery once served as a hospital for Napoleon’s soldiers.
Reviewed By ECLadines - Paranaque, Philippines
Had a simple and quiet lunch here at the monastery arranged by our pilgrimage operator. This after mass by our group and visiting the church itself with a statue of Virgin Mary venerated by many Catholics here. A cave underneath the altar is the statue of Prophet Elijah who had lived here for sometime. If you want to experience some solitude, this place in Haifa is the place to be.
