The Bahá’i faith was founded by Bahá’u’lláh in Persia in the 19th century and emphasises the spiritual unity of all peoples. Its two most holy places are the Shrine of Bahá’u’lláh in Acre and the Shrine of the Báb in Haifa, together with their surrounding gardens, associated buildings and monuments, which are places of pilgrimage for the 7 million Bahá’is around the world. The gardens are a spectacular site with 19 terraces above and below the shrine expertly landscaped on the slopes of Mount Carmel and tended to by 100 gardeners. There is one free tour of the gardens per day (except Wednesdays) departing at noon where you can learn more about the shrine and the Bahá’i faith.
