Old City of Jaffa

Tradition tells us that Jaffa, or Yafo as it’s called in Hebrew, was founded by Yefet the Son of Noah many, many years ago.  Throughout history it’s known as one of the most famous Middle Eastern ports and the one from which Jonah set forth on his famous voyage.  Today its artists colony, alleyways, and views sets it apart as one of the most beautiful places in Tel Aviv.  It’s for this very reason that one can spot brides and grooms having their photoshoots almost everyday of the week in Yafo.

Independence Hall

Step into history at Independence Hall in Tel Aviv, where Israel’s Declaration of Independence was signed in 1948. Once the home of Tel Aviv’s first mayor, Meir Dizengoff, this iconic building holds the story of Israel’s birth as a nation. As you stand in the very room where David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of the State of Israel, you’ll feel the significance of that pivotal moment. Independence Hall is also a reminder of Tel Aviv’s humble beginnings, built on sand dunes just over a century ago as the first Jewish city. Explore the roots of modern Israel and the visionaries who turned dreams into reality.
