About Ashdod

Ashdod is a port city on Israel's Mediterranean coast, south of Tel Aviv, with a long beachfront, an ancient Philistine past and a modern marina.

Ashdod lies on the Mediterranean coast of Israel, between Tel Aviv and Gaza, and is one of the country's main ports. The modern city was founded in the 1950s, but the site is ancient: Ashdod was one of the five cities of the Philistines, and later Greek, Roman and Byzantine settlements stood on the coast. Ashdod-Yam, an old fortress at the sea's edge, recalls the harbour's long history.
