We just viewed the gardens from a vista point, as we were told it was a three hour walk down and back up, and we didn't want to waste the time or energy. Yet the gardens do look magnificient.

At the last moment our guide took us to the gardens. We were impressed beyond imagination! They mentioned that they employed 100 gardeners. The place shows it.

Stopped by to see the gardens yesterday. As gorgeous from below as from above. Take the free tour (confirm details before going) to have more access within the gardens.

Beautiful gardens and lovely experience. The walk was fine for us, but could be difficult for some. It was nice to be able to send a photo of the temple to a Baha'i friend in the US.

Even non believers will appreciate the beauty and harmony of these gardens and the flowers dedicate to the World Centre of the Baha'i Faith. It is an oasis of tranquility in a very busy city.

Impressive very formal garden The gardens opens at 9 but closes at either 12! (inner gardens) or 5! (all of it) The gardens would look beautiful at dusk, and for working families they could go after work.

We learned about Mount Carmel in school when we were little children, learning of the Carmelite Order and its history. When we got to Haifa, we were amazed at the beauty of the Baha'i Gardens as we learned about the Baha'i faith. The view over this port city from the top of the gardens was just spectacular. We were blessed... More
