The number of good drinking establishments in this part of the city can be envied by seasoned connoisseurs. And we will only tell you why Hayat Street is so called. The word itself denotes tailor in Hebrew and Arabic. It is one of the wealthiest and most respected Arab Christian families in the city. The family's history begins in Lebanon, when they fled from pogroms in the Druze village of Hatzabiya in the middle of the 19th century. Aziz Hayat founded a company in Manhattan to sell antiquities from the Middle East. He carried out archaeological excavations in Lebanon near Haifa and Nazareth and traded mainly in Roman glass. Over time, the Hayat family became the most powerful family with real estate. They owned the famous Hayat Beach - today Carmel Beach, entire city blocks and their own estate at the bottom of the Siyah stream. To this day, the descendants of the family own real estate in Haifa, and the grandson of Aziz Salim is one of the hundred richest people in Israel. Translated with Google Translate
A mixture of former English colonial grandeur, long desolation and modern revival. Jaffa Street, the old port area and the current update in a good mix of stories and adventures that can only happen in a port city, where Germans, British, illegal immigrants and underground fighters left their mark. It will not do without the mythological Israeli car Susit, daring attacks by underground fighters, tragic flooding of ships, pubs, bars and restaurants, from traditional Mediterranean cuisine to a classic English pub or French restaurant. Let's go for a walk. Translated with Google Translate
