Top 5 Gorgeous Gardens of Israel
- Haifa's Baha'i Gardens: Haifa's incredible UNESCO World Heritage-listed gardens dedicated to the Baha'i faith are among the world's most impressive. Featuring more than 450 plant species, landscaped terraces, shrines and breathtaking views of the city and the sea, these immaculately maintained gardens are infused with a sense of spirit and grace.
- Yarkon Park: This huge public park provides a place of recreation, respite and relaxation to Tel Aviv's busy citizens. Home to sports, outdoor concerts, picnics and festivals, there are many different elements at play - from rock gardens, to rivers, tropical gardens, lakes and an impressive six acres of cacti.
- Wohl Rose Park: With more than 400 different varieties of rose, ancient mosaics, fish ponds, sculptures and waterfalls, Jerusalem's Wohl Rose Park is one of the only rose parks in the whole of the Middle East.
- Akko's Baha'i Gardens: These tranquil gardens filled with historic buildings, potted flowering plants, clean-cut hedges and manicured lawns are cared for with love and precision. Ancient olive groves and sycamore figs add a historic dimension to this horticultural triumph.
- Utopia Orchid Park: Home to thousands of orchid species from around the world, a beautiful butterfly garden, strange carnivorous plants, spectacular fountains and a plant maze, this vast tropical garden area proves there is much more to Israel than desert.
