Old Jaffa

Old Jaffa

Tel Aviv travel guide

Old Jaffa is one of the most ancient cities in the world, with over 4,000 years of history. The Old Jaffa port is one of the most ancient ports in the world, and the control over which had been shifted from one ruler to the other for many centuries. Each of them – Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Greek, Roman or French – has left his own unique mark on the city. You can sense it while traveling the narrow lanes of the city and witnessing its unique charm. Nowadays these small arched alleys, named after the zodiac’s signs, are filled with artists’ quarters, studios and art galleries, as well as Judaica, archaeology items and jewelry shops. Not surprisingly, Old Jaffa is one of Israel’s major tourist attractions and surely one of Tel Aviv’s most romantic spots.

The best way to start exploring Old Jaffa is by walking down the beach promenade, which offers lovely views of Tel-Aviv beaches and skyline, southward from the “drums-beach”. From there you will reach the old port that has great view of the city and a beautiful authentic pier. If you keep walking down the southernmost side of the port area, you will find a ship graveyard. Otherwise, walk up the stairs from the old port and reach Kedumim Square, in the center of the old city. In Kedumim Square you will find the ancient Jaffa museum and a tourist information center. Right next to Kedumim square is a small park with sculptures of Israeli artists, spectacular views of the Mediterranean and a lovely romantic atmosphere.

Another recommended walk is towards the Clock Square and the Clock Tower. It was built in the Ottoman period in the beginning of the 20th century and became the center of Old Jaffa. It is located right in the middle of the city’s markets, next to the Flea Market and many small shops that offer practically everything you may want to take back home as a souvenir.

The Zappa Club (24 Raul Valenberg St., Tel: 03-6499550) in Ramat Hahayal hosts live performances every night of the week, mainly of local rock musicians. The atmosphere in most concerts is not too wild, and the performances take place while people are sitting around their table and chewing on snacks. The Zappa Club Ramat Hahayal If Irish pubs are what you crave, check out Leo Bloom's (24 Raul Valenberg St.), a traditional Irish pub in Ramat Hahayal. In Leo Bloom's you will find friendly atmosphere, Irish dark beers and traditional snacks. Sometimes there are live performances of local artists there, and all major sports events are projected on large screens. Moses (26 Habarzel St.) is an elegant grill bar that claims to serve the best hamburgers in the city. It serves other dishes too, but if you choose to sit there you must try the "Art-burger", which is superb. If you are looking for pasta, one of the best Italian restaurants in town is nearby. Pasta Mia (34 Habarzel St.) in Ramat Hahayal serves great fresh pasta and good wine in reasonable prices. If you prefer sweets, you should pay a visit to Max Brenner at 23 Habarzel St., a chocolate bar that serves also main dishes and alcohol. Even if you choose not to sit there, treat yourself with a small pack to take back to your hotel. It is definitely worth the trip.

One of my favorite dishes was shakshuka, a delicious breakfast dish made with eggs, tomatoes, onions, and spices. The flavors were so rich and complex, and I loved the way the eggs were cooked perfectly with a runny yolk. I also tried several types of hummus, each with its own unique twist, and was impressed by the freshness and quality of the ingredients used.
