About us

A gift shop on Hertzel Street, Haifa

Armant is an independent gift shop in Hadar HaCarmel, a short walk from the Bahá’í Gardens. We sell Bahá’í gifts and jewelry, Judaica and souvenirs of Israel and Haifa – in person, with prices in shekels.

What we do

Haifa welcomes visitors from all over the world, many of them on their way to or from the Bahá’í Gardens on Mount Carmel. Armant is a gift shop for them – and for locals looking for a present – with a selection built around three things:

Bahá’í gifts – ringstone symbol rings and bracelets, Bahá’í leather bracelets, and keepsakes of the Shrine of the Báb.
Judaica – menorahs and hanukkiot, hamsas, Kiddush cups, Shabbat candle holders and Jerusalem pieces.
Israeli gifts and souvenirs – Haifa keepsakes, musician figurines and decorative pieces.

We sell in person because these are gifts people like to see and hold before they buy: rings need trying on, finishes look different in daylight, and it is easier to choose ten bracelets for a children’s class when they are in front of you.

Independent, and close to the gardens

Armant is a privately owned shop. We are not affiliated with the Bahá’í World Centre or any Bahá’í institution, and nothing on this website is official Bahá’í information. Our guides are written to help visitors – for official information about the Bahá’í Faith, visit bahai.org, and for visiting the gardens, ganbahai.org.il.

What we can offer is a convenient place near the gardens to find a meaningful gift, and practical answers to the questions visitors to Haifa often have: which garden entrance to use, what to wear, what to bring home for a Bahá’í community, and the difference between a menorah and a hanukkiah. You will find the answers in our guides and FAQ.
