Fureidis or '''Freidis''' is an Israeli Arab Local Council in the Haifa District . Founded in 1880, it received local council status in 1952. Its name is probably derived from the Arabic (''firdawis''), meaning little Garden Of Eden , which itself is borrowed from the Persian '' Paradise ''. Fureidis is also known for being an Arab village at good terms with Israel since the beginning.
