Itinerary
Meet & greet. Talk about Ottoman Jaffa. “Why do so many clocks in Israel run late?” Intro to Sultan Abdul Hamid II and modernization of Jaffa.
One of the oldest ports in the world — where Jonah fled, Crusaders landed, and fishermen still cast their nets. Today it’s a mix of old stone arches, art galleries, and seaside cafés. Ancient vibes with a modern twist — and perfect for a sea-breeze selfie!
Ancient Jaffa. Jonah, Egyptians, Greeks. Layers of civilizations. Panoramic views of Tel Aviv.
Baroque beauty and pilgrimage stories. Napoleon’s brief stay. Christian-Muslim encounters here.
A peaceful hilltop park with stunning views of Tel Aviv’s skyline and coastline. Great place to reflect on Jaffa’s layers of history — from Egyptian gates to modern towers. Also features sculptures and archaeological remains tucked between trees and flowers. A breath of fresh air, literally and historically.
A tree growing... from mid-air? This quirky sculpture by artist Ran Morin always gets a second look. Suspended in a clay pot, it’s a playful symbol of Jaffa itself — rooted in history, but always a little surreal.

About Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv is Israel's Mediterranean city of white Bauhaus buildings, long beaches, street markets and a café-lined seafront beside ancient Jaffa.
Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 on sand dunes north of the old port of Jaffa and grew quickly into a city of modernist apartment blocks. Its White City, a large collection of Bauhaus and International Style buildings, is listed by UNESCO. Rothschild Boulevard is lined with these buildings and shaded by trees, and Independence Hall, where the state was declared in 1948, stands on it.
Top-ranked sights in Tel Aviv: Caesarea, Neve Tzedek (Neve Tsedek).
