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.[1][2]
Wadi Nisnas is the setting for the 1987 novel, Hatsotsrah ba-Vadi (Hebrew: "Trumpet in the Wadi") by Sami Michael. It centers on the love story between a young Israeli Arab woman and a new Jewish immigrant from Russia.[10]
