A glimpse of the city of Haifa, Israel. The film chronologically progresses from morning to late at night. Haifa is the largest city in northern Israel, and the third largest city in the country, with a population of over a quarter of a million and nearly 600,000 residents which makes up the inner core of the Haifa metropolitan area. Israeli Arabs constitute 10% of Haifa's population. Haifa is commonly portrayed as a model of co-existence between Arabs and Jews. It is also home to the Bahá'í World Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and destination for Baha'i pilgrims. Built on the slopes of Mount Carmel, the history of settlement at the site spans more than 3,000 years. Today, the city is a major seaport located on Israel's Mediterranean coastline in the Bay of Haifa. It is located about 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of Tel Aviv and is the major regional center of northern Israel. The city has a 17 kilometres (11 mi) shoreline, of which 5 kilometres (3 mi) are beaches. Haifa is home to two internationally acclaimed universities, the University of Haifa and the Technion (Israel's 'MIT'). The city plays an important role in Israel's economy. It is home to Matam, the largest and oldest business park in Israel, located at the southern entrance to the city, hosting manufacturing and R&D; facilities for a large number of Israeli and international hi-tech companies, such as Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Motorola, Google, Yahoo!, Elbit, CSR, Philips, and Amdocs. Haifa Bay is a center of heavy industry, petroleum refining and chemical processing. Haifa is served by six railway stations and the Carmelit, currently Israel's only subway system. The Haifa Cable Car gondola lift consists of six cabins and connects Bat Galim on the coast to the Stella Maris observation deck and monastery atop Mount Carmel. Filmed in September 2014.
