The Time That Remains — A Personal Journey Through Haifa’s Past and Present
Discover Haifa through an intimate, deeply personal lens. This unique walking tour traces the city’s history through art, memory, and the lived experience of three generations of one Palestinian family — my own.
Through stories rooted in life before and after the Nakba, you’ll gain rare insight into the realities of Palestinian citizens in what is often called the “City of Coexistence.”
Blending historical narrative with artistic expression, this tour invites reflection on identity, belonging, and what it truly means to stay.

Tour Guide: Attila Abdi
I am a proud citizen of Haifa — born and raised in this unique and diverse city. A graduate of the Hebrew University, where I studied International Relations and Political Science, I later spent 20 years working as a flight attendant with EL AL Airlines, a role that allowed me to connect with people and cultures around the world.
Today, I bring that same spirit of curiosity and connection to my work as a guide, sharing Haifa’s layered stories of coexistence, history, and identity.
