Some geisha I fancy in foreign port (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haifa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'foreign port' is the definition.
'haifa' can be an answer for 'port' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'foreign' bit.

'some geisha i fancy' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'HAIFA' is hidden in the letters of 'geisha i fancy'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for haifa that I've seen before include "Mediterranean port" , "Port of N. Israel" , "Middle East city" , "Major Israeli port" , "Israel's main port" .)
