Excursion «Mini Israel. Latrun. Tel Aviv-Yaffo. Diamond Exchange»

Tel Aviv and Jaffa

Our tour begins in one of the oldest neighborhoods of Tel Aviv, which starts at the intersection where the Great Synagogue is located. Tel Aviv was originally one of the neighborhoods of ancient Jaffa before it gained city status in 1909.

The central part of Tel Aviv can easily be identified by two high-rise buildings: the round and triangular towers known as the Azrieli Towers. These towers house the offices of many major companies and organizations in the IT sector.

A significant part of the city center is the architectural complex known as the White City, which greatly contributes to the modern appearance of the city. It features many original structures that have been declared unique monuments of architectural design.

If you visit the city on a Tuesday or Friday, you might come across the large street fair that regularly takes place on Nahalat Binyamin Street. The most crowded and popular street in the city is Shenkin, where lively fairs and clothing sales often take place.

Life in Tel Aviv doesn't end with the onset of twilight. Restaurants serving cuisines from around the world are open 24/7, and pubs, bars, and clubs offer performances by renowned musicians and world-class DJs all night long.

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

In addition to its mentions in the Bible, there are several other written sources where the toponym Jaffa appears, including the chronicles of Pharaoh Thutmose III. Throughout its history, the city was often subject to raids and was ruled by Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Jews, Crusaders, the Napoleonic administration, and the British.

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

One of the streets leading from the square takes you to the main mosque of the city, built during the time of Muslim administration. Excavations have been conducted at the Square of Antiquities, the main square of Jaffa, allowing us to see the city's development history. Additional materials can be found at the Jaffa History Museum located nearby.

The next stop on our tour is Mini-Israel Park, which allows you to see the entire country in one day. Here, in a reduced scale, all the historical, national, archaeological, and cultural-religious sites are presented alongside modern buildings against the backdrop of authentic landscapes. The park is divided into six sectors, symbolizing the rays of the Star of David, representing the regional divisions of Israel.
