At night you can see it with it’s gorgeous lighting shining on the whole strip up and down the Blvd.
Stella Maris Monastery
A 19th century Carmelite Church and Monastery, located at the slopes of Mount Carmel, near the upper station of the Haifa cable cars with a magnificent view of the Mediterranean sea. “Star of the Sea” is its Latin meaning of the name, does not refer to its magnificent view, but rather associated with Mary, mother of Jesus, since according to some, the Holy Family stayed in it’s cave on their way back from Egypt. Her statue stands above the altar holding baby Jesus. The church is a popular tourist and pilgrimage site.
Haifa Port

It is also not that far from the Atelier location and a nice walk away. Go see the big ships passing by and the real big ones that dock while on their way to other countries.
