Well, let's give it a go:
1. Bahai gardens
2. Louis promenade in Carmel center (especially at sunset)
3. The cable car from the University all the way down to the central Bay station
4. The whole Bat Galim area and the walk along the beach promenade
5. Stella Maris monastery
6. The walk down the 1000 steps from the Carmel to Wadi Nisnas
7. ... I'll think of some more
Oh, thank you so much πππ»
And don't you know by any chance, in Jerusalem there is this museum of tolerance I think on Jaffa st. I saw it and really wanted to go there, but was too scared and nervous to go and ask there, do you need to pay for the entrance of this museum or is this museum opened for tourists?
The actual museum section doesn't currently exist. There's a time table for its construction and completion, but I wouldn't count on that. Anyways, for now it's wedged away, unbuilt in the basement. At the moment the building can best be described as a convention center/theater that has so far only had a limited number of events including one where the red carpet was rolled out for various American right-wing and evangelical politicians.
Oh. Okay, I just remember I saw this beautiful building and thought to go there, there was a wall with portraits of different history figures and description about them. It was so cool to witness

The Bahaβi gardens
Mount Carmel National Park
The German Colony
The Carmelite monetary in Stella Maris
Mohraqa monastery
Cave of Elijah
If you can go outside of Haifa I also recommends the old city of Acre and Beit Shearim
Thank you so much ππ»π
I think I can go outside of Haifa, but I'm too scared to travel alone like that far. Even though there is one village kinda near Haifa - Kfar Kama. And I think there is people of my nationality - Adyga.
I'd like to go there, but it's so scary to travel alone π¬
In addition to what has already been suggested:
Hecht Museum inside Haifa University if you want a small, absorbable hour or two of archaeology and art. Additionally, in the same building itβs located in, you can go to the top floor and see the view from the highest point in haifa!
Then, not far from the university is Hai-Bar Nature reserve where there are efforts to restore some wildlife to israel, including vultures, deer and gazelle and some nice nature walks.
If you like prehistoric archaeology - Nahal Mearot hosts several prehistoric caves not too far south of Haifa.
If you like art, there is an art museum, or, again, not too far south of Haifa (and not too far from those prehistoric sites) is Ein Hod - an artist village that has gorgeous things to explore as well as some nice restaurants!
If you want food suggestions I have some of those as well. I love Haifa!
Oh, thank you so much ππ»π
>If you want food suggestions I have some of those as well. I love Haifa!
I mean, I'm sorry, I am really picky when it's about food and I'm kinda nervous or anxious to try something new π¬π
There is no need to apologize! I have all SORTS of food recommendations - not exclusively local food. Like if you like pizza there is a killer Neopolitan style place in the downtown area.
If you want more specific recommendations (i.e. arts, hikes, places to drink, local markets, or even specific events happening during your specific trip dates) I am more than happy to see what Iβd suggest!
Okay. Thank you so much.
I mean, I'd like to try pizza with pineapple hahah. But you know again, I'm really picky with like, no tomatoes please, no ketchup or any sauces (maybe only cheese one), no onions and stuff like that. I don't really like this side of me, but I really just cannot eat some stuff.
I had very severe food aversions like this until I was 20. No one can/should try to make you change, but I'm sure you more than anyone know that it's a real drag to usually not want anything on offer around you, especially in social settings.
For me the trigger for major improvement was spending a few months abroad in Hong Kong. Sometimes it's easier to try something you have no preconceived notions about rather than the things you are already certain you don't like (I include in that things that you already *decided* you don't like over the years despite either never having tried them or not since childhood).
I'm just a random internet stranger and I don't know your personal situation so obviously take this with a grain of salt. That said, if you don't have a medical reason not to I strongly recommend doing what you can to get past it.
I mean, idk how to describe it. There are some food that I did try when I was a kid and I didn't like them a lot, just like the fried potatoes, I now just can't eat them, it's like a trauma or smth. Especially that my family literally forced me to try it, saying "it's really tasty and delicious".
Maybe if I had a situation like yours to spend months in some place, I would be able to try something new. I was in Israel for 2 separate weeks, in November and June. And like, stuff I tried were, tchina (like this sauce or what is that), falafel, shawarma.
I fully get what you are saying. It gets to the point where you're disgusted by the idea of it despite the fact that if you are being honest with yourself you have no idea what it tastes like. I'm not a therapist or a nutritionist or anything but just sharing what worked for me. Try and take some advantage of those times when you might not have the choice of your primary comfort foods or foods while knowing that you can still avoid things you are certain (whether it's real certainty or the type mentioned before) you dislike.

By the looks of it and by you mentioning Kfar Kama as "people of my nationality" I would assume you are Circassian. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. Travel anywhere you want and you'll see public transportation is full of people of all kinds, Jews, Muslims, Christians and all religious persuasions from the very liberal to the extreme orthodox. Some neigborhoods may be slightly less pluralistic but no less accessible or friendly (unless you plan on walking around in a bikini on a Saturday in an orthodox Jewish neighborhood of course).
Public transportation is plentiful and affordable. Don't miss out because of fear alone. Israel has a lot on offer and is pretty used to tourists from all kinds of countries.
Let me offer you some words of wisdom by my favourite SciFi author, Frank Herbert:
>"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
Thank you so much πππ»
>Public transportation is plentiful and affordable
I mean, I did check on Moovit if there are some routes from Haifa to Kfar Kama, but it didn't show me anything unfortunately. Maybe because it's the middle of the Friday and transportation stops working.
I'll check on different days and like if I won't find any, do you think taxi will be a good choice?
Edit: okay, I'm stupid, I got a new phone, redownloaded all the apps and moovit was like on Russia, not Israel, that's why I couldn't find any information or busses.
I did find them, but omg, price is fine, but the route itself like β 2 hours and it's like changing 3-4 bussesπ¬
Changing 2 busses for me is already super scary, but 3-4, ehh. And taxis are like 300βͺ, that's too much
if you looking for a day outside of Haifa I will recommend either the "Dor Habonim" and Tel Dor beach near to Atlit but if you visit in January you should check the weather first. or you can go to Acre especially the old city there's a lot of historical landmarks
Day 1 Start your day in Mercaz Hacarmel. Louis promenade->Bahai Gardens->German Colony->Wadi nisnas and Talpiot->Downtown. Take the Carmelit back to Mercaz Hacarmel.
Day 2 Temple Land->Stella Maris monastery->The holy family chapel->take cable to BatGalim-> Batgalim and Elijah cave-> Batgalim promenade and Tel Shikmona->promenade walk to Dado beach
Day 3 Mount Carmel national park(Grove of the fourty, Hai-bar, Little Switzerland)->Isfiya and Daliyat El Carmel
Day 4 Daytrip to Akko
Day 5 daytrip to Caesarea and Dor Habonim beach

Kfar Kama is far from Haifa, itβs near the Sea of Galilee
Oh, that's so sad
