Tel Aviv is far from being just a city gate to Israel. This dual city (Old Jaffa and New Tel Aviv) is an absolutely fascinating place that deserves several days spent exploring its wonders. Our thoroughly enjoyable full-day tour covers some of the most intriguing spots surrounding this captivating metropolis. Your journey begins in 4,000-year-old Jaffa. There, witness archaeological finds dating back to the era of the Pharaohs, architectural remnants from Crusader times, ancient mosques, and medieval churches. Follow evidence of Napoleon’s failed invasion, stroll through the narrow alleys of historic Jaffa, and explore the millennia-old Jaffa Port. From Jaffa, we head to Tel Aviv. Cross one street, and there lies the American Colony—another unique settlement established by a religious group from Maine who arrived with dreams of reestablishing their homeland ahead of the Messiah’s arrival. The next leg of our tour takes us to the quaintly picturesque Neve Zedek district, marking the very first Jewish neighborhood constructed beyond Jaffa’s protective walls. Continuing onward, your exploration delves deeper into contemporary Tel Aviv’s pulsating core centered around Rothschild Boulevard. Discover the harmonious blend of towering modernist structures alongside exquisite examples of Middle Eastern design and breathtaking Bauhaus architecture characteristic of what has been recognized as part of Tel Aviv’s “White City,” now listed under UNESCO’s prestigious list of World Heritage Sites. Time permitting, our final destination before concluding today’s adventure would be Sarona, once home to Germany’s Templar colonists long ago. The meticulously preserved homes reflect traditional nineteenth-century Germanic styles; indeed, the whole enclave buzzes with life beneath the wide-open sky.
