The Shrine of Baháʼu’lláh and the Gardens surrounding it, collectively known as “Bahji”, are re-opening to the general public as of October 2025.
The misrepresentation of Bahjí, which is the holiest site for the Bahá’í community worldwide, as primarily a tourist site has now been corrected, and the sanctity of the Bahjí site has been reaffirmed. This issue, for which the site was closed, has been resolved. Therefore, Bahjí will reopen to visitors, for guided tours and self-guided tours, starting in October.
You can sign up for guided tours and view Bahjí’s opening hours on the website.
As is customary in all Baha’i sites open to the general public, admission is free.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
Come and Taste Experience Discover – the Westen Galilee is NOW!
