Bahji

3km/2mi north of Akko, on the east side of the road to Nahariya, are the Persian Gardens of Bahji. In these beautifully laid out gardens is the shrine containing the remains of Baha Ullah ("Glory of God"; 1817-92), founder of the Bahai faith. He was exiled to Akko in 1868 and spent the last years of his life in the red-roofed house which is also in the gardens.
