Our tour starts in one of the oldest areas of Tel Aviv, which begins at the crossroads where the Great Synagogue is located. Tel Aviv, before gaining city status in 1909, was one of the quarters of ancient Jaffa.

The central part of Tel Aviv can be easily identified by two high-rise buildings: round and triangular towers, which are called Azrieli high-rises. They house the offices of many large companies and organizations working in the IT field.

Part of the city center is an architectural complex (White City), which largely determines the modern appearance of the city. There are many original buildings here, declared unique monuments of architectural architecture.

When traveling around the city on Tuesday or Friday, you can get to the large fair, which is regularly held on Nahlat Binyamin Street. And the most crowded and popular street in the city — Shenkin. Crowded fairs and clothing sales most often take place here.

Life in Tel Aviv does not end at dusk. Restaurants serving cuisine from around the world are open 24 hours a day, and pubs, bars, and clubs are open all night, where you can listen to performances by famous musicians and see performances by world-famous DJs.

The ancient city of Jaffa was founded many centuries ago, according to legend, on the very spot where Noah began building the ark. After the flood, Noah's son Japheth returned to these places and founded the city, which is named after him.

In addition to mentions in the Bible, there are several other written sources where the toponym Jaffa appears. In particular, these are the chronicles of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The city has been subject to frequent raids throughout its history, and it has been owned alternately at different times by the Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Jews, Crusaders, the Napoleonic administration and the British.

The historical center of Jaffa, where our tour will begin, is the Clock Square. The clock on the tower has four dials that show the time of different time zones.

One of the streets starting from the square leads to the main mosque of the city, built during the time the city was ruled by the Muslim administration. On the Square of Antiquities — the main square of Jaffa, archaeological excavations have been carried out, thanks to which we can see the history of the development of the city. Additional materials are on display at the Jaffa History Museum, located next to the square.

The next point of our excursion is —Mini-Israel Park, which gives you the opportunity to see the whole country in one day. Here, on a reduced scale, all historical, national, archaeological and cultural-religious monuments are presented, adjacent to modern buildings, against the backdrop of authentic landscapes and landscapes. Six sectors of the mini-park — these are the rays of the Star of David, which in turn represent the regional divisions of Israel.

Attractions

Mini Israel

Despite the fact that Israel is a small country, the number of attractions, holy places and cultural monuments is incredible. It’s not possible to visit all interesting places during one vacation, but there is a wonderful alternative - a miniature park! Mini Israel Theme Park is located near Ben Gurion Airport and today is one of the largest parks of its kind in the world. Here, every tourist will be able to see about four hundred miniature models of various sights of Israel. Here are historical, religious and modern monuments made by hand. Each of the attractions presented in the park looks incredibly realistic and conveys the flavor of Israel and the spirit of the people. Especially for the Mini Israel Park, live dwarf trees and shrubs were grown.

Kikar Hashon

In the center of the square, the Clock Tower (Migdal haShaon) was erected, built in the beginning of the 20th century in honor of the 25th anniversary of the coronation of the “blood sultan” Abdul-Hamid II (1842 - 1918), who ruled the Ottoman (Ottoman) empire from 1876 and deposed in 1909

Rock of Andromeda

Not far from the port of Jaffa in the Mediterranean Sea is the famous Andromeda rock.
According to ancient Greek mythology, at the behest of Poseidon (the God of the seas) and his wife Cassiopeia, the young Andromeda, ​​daughter of King Kefey, was chained to a rock in the open sea. This happened because of the offense of the sea deities on Andromeda, because she boasted of her beauty. The sea monster sent by Poseidon threatened to destroy all the subjects of Kepheus. As a result, Kefey was forced to sacrifice his daughter. Saved the girl from terrible torment, the son of Zeus, Perseus (in exchange for the fact that she will become his wife). Subsequently, Andromeda gave birth to Perseus nine children (seven sons and two daughters).
Many tourists vacationing in Israel want to see the mythical rock, which is a natural attraction.

Tel Aviv

This city is only a hundred years old. Tel Aviv is surrounded by beaches: the city lies on the Mediterranean coast, on its eastern side. The streets of the seaside town here are bizarre and beautifully combined with modern quarters built up with skyscrapers.

Tel Aviv is noisy and different, a real metropolis. There are educational institutions,  representative offices of foreign countries, museums with galleries, business centers,  restaurants with hotels. Already from this list it is clear that the city lives a full life, knows how to work and relax. Also,  Tel Aviv is famous for temples: they have interesting architecture.

It's great to admire the city from above. Apparently, this is why both local residents and guests love the observation deck on the 49th floor of one of the city's skyscrapers. The view from here is stunning! A visit can be combined with breakfast, lunch or dinner - there is also a good restaurant.
