The terminal building is planned where sheds 8 and 9 stand today, the first buildings erected by the British in 1932-33 in the area of ​​the dry seaport. These buildings, which were determined to be preserved in the TMA, were used, among other things, as transit sheds for the export of oranges in the 30s, and symbolize the first stage in the establishment and development of the modern port in Haifa, a port that became after the establishment of the state the main entrance gate to Aliya to Israel.

  1. In short, another wall of 4-5 stories 15 meters high and 200 meters long that will hide the entire lower city and the colony what little sea is left after the polynomial. Great, a pleasure. Continue to eliminate Haifa. The greed for real estate above all else. Of course, the simulations are only "from the bird's eye view" from above, this is how even the towers of the Carmel Beach looked small and non-threatening, this is how a 15 meter high wall is turned into something nice and small by the sea..

    • Today it is a nightmare to get on a cruise. Kilometers of obstacle course.

      Haifa needs a proper and efficient terminal.
