The Krayot or Qerayot (, "townships") (plural of Kirya) are a cluster of four small cities and two neighbourhoods of Haifa founded in the 1930s on the outskirts of the city of Haifa, Israel, in the Haifa Bay area.
The Krayot include Kiryat Yam (pop. 42,284), Kiryat Motzkin (pop. 48,748), Kiryat Bialik (pop. 36,200), Kiryat Ata (pop. 61,709), Kiryat Haim (pop. 29,000), and Kiryat Shmuel (pop. 7,740, as of 2023).
A plan was formulated in 2003, and again in 2016 by Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, to merge the Krayot into one municipality.<small>)</small>
