WELCOME TO HAIFA

Getting to Haifa from Ben Gurion Airport: 

A direct train from the Ben Gurion Airport to Carmel Beach (Hof HaCarmel) Station in Haifa leaves twice an hour during weekdays and every hour during weeknights (weekend schedule is thinner). Information can be found at Israel-Railways web site

There is a service taxi or van service (called 'sherut') which departs from the airport whenever the car fills up, and takes you to Haifa for a reasonable rate of 120NIS (30€).

Both ways duration is ca 1hr and 15 mins. Trains are preferable during day time, to avoid traffic.
