Haifa is on the mediteranian in Israel so the summer is hot (goes all the way up to 40c in the summer for a day or two) and mild in the winter (never sub-zero, some rain, snow… once every 15-20 years). but since it is at the sea it can get chilly but always happy :) (MORE)

Haifa is a safe city. It is one of the most liberal cities in the State of Israel. One of the few cities where Jews and Arabs get along. Israel itself is safe. Yes, Israel do…es have bombings every now and then. Recently, the number of bombings have gone down due to high security measures. Bombings can happen anywhere though. Remember 9/11? Remember the underwear bomber? Remember the New York Times Square bomber? Okay, the last 2 don't really count, but that comes to show you that it can happen anywhere. Anyways, Israel overall is one of the few countries in the middle east where you can walk the streets at night without worrying about getting kidnapped by bandits or killed. So with that said, Haifa, is a safe city. ;) (MORE)
