Bat Galim (Hebrew: בת גלים)(lit: "Daughter of the Waves") is a neighborhood of Haifa, Israel, located at the foot of Mt. Carmel on the Mediterranean coast. Bat Galim is known for its promenade and sandy beaches.

[edit] History

Bat Galim was established in the 1920s as a garden suburb of private homes designed by the Bauhaus architect Ricard Kaufmann. During the British Mandate, Bat Galim was Haifa's entertainment center. The "Casino," a landmark building on the Bat Galim promenade, housed a cafe patronized by British officers, although it was never used for gambling.[1] A cable car runs between Bat Galim and Stella Maris on the Carmel.[2]
