Tel Aviv is a historic and modern city

Tel Aviv is a historic and modern city. With its history, culture, entertainment, and beaches, it is a beautiful city. It can be described as a classic Mediterranean city, with hot and humid weather. Honestly, I didn’t expect this city to be so advanced before I came here. Since we primarily planned a trip to Jerusalem, we could only spend one day in Tel Aviv. We spent most of our time in the historic port of Jaffa (Yafa). This place, which used to be a fishing port, has preserved its historic structure. From the port, you can watch the Mediterranean Sea on one side and see the tree-lined streets and historic buildings on the other. While walking along the beach, you can observe people swimming and taking bike tours.

It reminds me a bit of the beaches in the Aegean region, just a bit more modern and organized. Jaffa is mainly populated by Arabs. In the beach cafes, you can find flavors from both Arab cuisine and other cuisines from around the world. I recommend taking a historical stroll in Jaffa. Especially on weekends, the residents of Tel Aviv spend their time here. Apart from Jaffa, there are other recommended places that we couldn’t visit, such as the Tel Aviv Port, Sheinkin Street, the Eretz Israel Museum, and Rothschild Boulevard. If you are visiting Jerusalem and have time, I recommend allocating a day for Tel Aviv.
