Hi,
I am coming to the carmel spa from Jerusalem on sunday or monday may 9, or 10. I have done some research and i think the best bet is to take the 940 bus from jerusalem cbs to the haifa khof hakarmel cbs. my question is what to do AFTER this step to get to the spa? is there a bus to take? or is it close enough to take a cab?
Re: Jerusalem to Carmel Spa
by iblatt
Hi,
There is no bus service to the Carmel Spa Hotel, according to the Egged Bus website.
I suggest taking the train from Jerusalem (Malha station) to Atlit, which is on the Haifa line, one stop before Haifa. It's a scenic journey, much nicer than the bus trip,and takes approximately 2hr and 45 min. You have to change trains once on the way.
From the Atlit railway station take a cab to the Carmel Spa Hotel ("Ya'arot Ha-Carmel" in Hebrew), it's about 10km up the Carmel mountains from Atlit.
Here is the Israel Railway website to plan your train journey:

Enjoy your trip!

Travel Tips for Haifa
German Colony (Moshava HaGermanit)
by Martin_S.
Walking the streets of the old German Colony can give you a glimpse of the life of the immigrants to Israel. These German immigrants built a "colony" or neighbourhood around themselves to help them cope with a new life in a new country, a way to insulate themselves and instill a feeling of "the old home" while beginning a new home. You can see many of the original buildings and some of the Eucalyptus trees planted there are impressive.

Cats
by NYTim
Apparantly in Haifa they love their cats. Everywhere we went there was an abundance of pussies. They might have been strays, but the locals fed then by leaving small plates of food scattered around. The view from Haifa over the port and the Bahai temple is not to be missed. There is a walkway at the top that allows lovely views over these places.
Shouting...:) an important tip for scandinavians.
by Fjord87
This tip is probably not that special for people coming from mediterranean countries, but people who aren't used to shouting in the streets, this is a good bit of info:
On the streets of Haifa there are so many yells heard every second. This does not mean, that the people are really angry. It's a habit to shout at the smallest thing, and specially in the morning rush-hour yells are heard all the time! So scandinavians, and other silent people, don't get scared! :)
