One of Akko's most enjoyable evening activities is strolling around through the tiny Arabian Nights streets, past the old khans and the towering minarets framed by moonlight and stars, gazing from the old port out across the bay toward the sparkling lights of Haifa. On a quiet moonlit night, you can stand in the courtyard of Khan El-Umdan and imagine all the people, animals, activities, and human dramas that have passed through here. Another atmospheric moonlight walk is around the city's seawalls.
Exotic Arabic music fills the air day and night all around Old Akko. Light and music pour out into the streets from the open doors of billiard parlors, and you're welcome to come in and shoot a few games. Beer or wine at a seaside cafe or restaurant and interesting talks with fellow travelers is another option.
