Nave Sha'anan, Haifa

Nave Sha'anan (Hebrew: נָוֶה שַׁאֲנָן, lit. 'tranquil abode') is a large residential neighborhood in eastern Haifa, Israel that extends from the lower inclines of Mount Carmel to midway across its slopes. The main campus of the Technion university is located in the outskirts of Nave Sha'anan.

Its name is one of the many traditional "Names of Jerusalem", and is based on a verse in the Isaiah: "Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down".
