Summers in Tel Aviv and Hafia Israel (temple, Rome, attraction)

[MichaelOrear]

Hello,

for anyone who has been to these cities in Israel, Hafia and Tel Aviv:

1. Compared to New York, what are summer in Hafia and Tel Aviv like climate wise?

2. How bad are allergies and pollution?

3. What are these cities like culturally?

Thanks

Tel Aviv's culture compares nicely to Manhattan together with a beach. Tel Aviv has museums, outdoor cafes, bars/pubs, restaurants and nice beach with a promenade.

Haifa is a hilly city by the ocean. Its main cultural attraction are the Baha'i Temple Gardens. Also it has beaches.
