Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv

‎The sea, the port, the old city of Jaffa at the southern end of Tel Aviv, in a panoramic view from the air. Jaffa has been known from Canaanite times, at the end of the 4th millennium B.C. Its name is connected with Japhet, son of Noah. From the 17th century it was a port city and gateway to the Holy Land for European pilgrims. The port was closed in 1965 and all that remains of it today is a quay for fishing boats and yachts. Jaffa’s long and checkered history has left it with a rich legacy of archeological sites, churches, mosques and building styles in a combination of east and west.
