Mysteries of Tel Aviv and the Mystic of Ancient Jaffa

Tel Aviv is a young, multifaceted, multilingual and life-loving city. The atmosphere of freedom, creativity, the embodiment of creative ideas and startups, the energy of Mediterranean beaches, entertainment and achievements. The city, which enjoys the sun, admires the sea sunsets, enjoys the tastes of fresh dishes and drinks. Walk through the market, feel the smells of spices and incense, taste some dishes and go through the streets of Tel Aviv from the skyscrapers of the northern part of the city to the short bauhaus style, from the democratic Carmel market to the elite Sarona market.

The first street of the city-dream in the early 20th century was called the national street. Today we know this street as Rothschild Boulevard. This is one of the main tourist attractions of the city.

In the center of the street is a strip of trees with pedestrian and bicycle paths. On this boulevard, bypassing small areas of southern, "popular" Tel Aviv, we will go to its first quarter - Neve Zedek (abode of justice). To the beginning of the birth of a new city on sand dunes. The history of the appearance of pioneers here is reminiscent of the colorful shops and restaurants of the Mitham Ha-Tahan railway station transformed into an amusement park.

A hundred years ago, here travelers from Europe were transferred from the steamship to the carriages of the locomotive to ascend to Jerusalem. Wagons have survived today, they survived the era of messianic ideas, where Tel Aviv carefully preserves the origins of its history - the port of Jaffa with its legends, streets of zodiac signs, picturesque galleries of artists, sculptors, with mysterious interiors of cafes and restaurants. Biblical, medieval, Ottoman history... Napoleon visited here, ships with pilgrims from Europe and America moored here.

How many times is Jaffa mentioned in the Bible? Why did Napoleon come here? What do the sculptures on the hill of Abrasha Park symbolize? Answers to these questions await us on a walking tour of the streets of Old Jaffa. I invite you to this seaside fairy tale.
