Wadi Nisnas

Wadi Nisnas (Arabic: وادي النسناس; Hebrew: ואדי ניסנאס) is a predominantly Arab neighborhood in the city of Haifa, Israel, with a population of about 8,000 inhabitants.

[citation needed] Wadi Nisnas was developed at the end of the nineteenth century as a Christian-Arab neighborhood outside the walls of Haifa.

The remaining Arab population was relocated to Wadi Nisnas in a process that has been described as "ghettoization".

[5][6][7][8] The current Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics census estimates that 66% of the Wadi Nisnas population are Christians, 31.5% are Muslims, and the rest are Jews.

It centers on the love story between a young Israeli Arab woman and a new Jewish immigrant from Russia.
