The day begins at Haifa Port with the Mediterranean wind pushing salt across the promenade and the Bahá'í terraces cutting a precise line down the northern slope of Mount Carmel. Walks, viewpoints and a pulse of city life open the morning; by noon the tour trades modern harbor views for the narrow streets of Acre and, finally, the white cliffs and thunder of grottos at Rosh Hanikra.
