With 2.5 million people, Tel Aviv is the largest metropolitan area in Israel and is the business and cultural center of the country. Come to see among other things lovely beaches along the Mediterranean, streets with elite boutiques, the diamond center, and ‘Bauhaus’ buildings from the 1930s. The city suggests a place that never sleeps with pubs, restaurants, clubs and discothèques.
Our private tour will include various sites and can be tailored to meet your interests and time.
Old Jaffa
One of the ancient coastal cities in the Holy Land, Jaffa has been used as a port for over 4000 years. It was from here that Jonah commenced his journey to the sea. Ceders from Lebanon were brought here on the way to Jerusalem 3000 years ago to build Solomon’s temple. Jaffa also holds an important place in Christian liturgy – St. Peter came here to Jaffa to heal the young girl Tabitha.
Today, Old Jaffa is an artists’ colony and a cultural and entertainment center with beautiful views of the city of Tel Aviv. Come walk on the cobblestone streets of the quaint ‘old quarter’ to see the studios, homes and shops of Israeli artists who reflect both modernity and heritage in their works.
The Diaspora Museum
A museum situated at Tel Aviv University with exhibitions illustrating Jewish life through the 2000 year Diaspora. Here we discover how Jewish people lived and endured throughout the world, preserving their religion, culture and language.
The Hall of Independence
On May 14, 1948, in this house, which was one of the first homes of early Tel Aviv, David Ben Gurion, the first Israeli Prime Minister, declared the establishment of the State of Israel.
The Palmach Museum
This exceptional museum uses advanced media to present the story of the Jewish people’s strength to build their future country. The presentation teaches us about the spirit of the era and the sacrifices made by young people in the 1940s for the establishment of the State Israel.
Neve Tzedek and Neveh Shalom Neighborhoods
These were the first Jewish neighborhoods built on the way to establishing the city of Tel Aviv. Neve Tzedek and Neveh Shalom, about 100 years old, have been revived and present a window into the history of modern Israel. Here, in these seaside neighborhoods dotted with boutiques and restaurants, we will be impressed by the design, reconstruction and modern development that give the neighborhoods a unique atmosphere in the heart of the huge metropolitan area.
