Tel Aviv travel guide

Though not active as a port anymore, the old port of Tel Aviv is a very lively part of the city, day or night. It is where the first immigrants’ ships landed, and though it was shut down in the 60’s as an active sea port, it was awaken again in the 80’s as a nightlife and water sports center.

The Tel Aviv port today is a great place to hang out, eat or take a walk along the old pier. The center of the Tel Aviv port is a small area packed with great restaurants and few bars and nightclubs. It is definitely worth a visit during the day in spring, summer or one of the many sunny winter days.

Some of the best seafood restaurants in Tel Aviv are located here, most of which are open during the day, and offer great view of the Mediterranean, relaxed atmosphere and business menus.

Mul-Yam (Tel: 03-5469920) is a superb seafood restaurant that was chosen in 2003 as one of the top 140 restaurants in the world. Prices there match their flavor, so it is pretty expensive, yet it’s recommended to visit Mul-Yam at least once, especially during the day when there’s an opportunity to enjoy the sea view.

Gilly’s (Tel: 03-6057777) is another great option, and is well known for its excellent breakfasts, served every day till 5PM. Another option for some great seafood in front of the water in the Tel Aviv port is Boya (Tel: 03-5446166). It is a great restaurant, though again, not for low budget visitors.

During the day the Tel Aviv port is a great place to visit and enjoy the beautiful view, the laid back atmosphere and the excellent seafood restaurants.

Tel Aviv Beaches - The religious beach

Tel Aviv Beaches - The religious beach

The religious beach is the only beach in Tel Aviv that has separate bathing days for men and women, and is a great option for those who prefer a more restrained beach atmosphere. There is one beach in Tel Aviv that has separate bathing days for men and women, in order to respond to the needs of the religious community. It is named "the religious beach" (Hof Hadatiyim), sometimes referred to as "The Separate Beach" as well, and is surrounded by a high wall which isolates it from the neighboring beaches. This is a good option for those who prefer single sex bathing or restrained beach atmosphere. Not only religious people take advantage of this unique and usually not too crowded beach. Women's days tend to attract many of Tel Aviv's non religious females as well, who sometime prefer to enjoy their sunbath uninterrupted by male company. Shalom Howard Johnson (216 Hayarkon St., ), a modern five-story building with balconies towards the Mediterranean and Independence Park, is the nearest hotel. It is pretty basic but has a restaurant and a pub, which offers live music almost every evening. The Marina hotel is pretty close as well, located on top of Kikar Atarim square, which is a popular hangout place for tourists during the summer months. The Marina (167 Hayarkon St., ) is located in the center of Tel Aviv's luxury hotel strip, and offers a combination of convenient location and comfortable lodging. The rooms at the Marina were recently renovated and its guests enjoy an underground parking lot, which is a rare and helpful feature for guests in the city. The religious beach area is a central location for a Tel Aviv visit. Even if you choose to stay elsewhere, try to visit there once. Your chances to witness a similar beach elsewhere are pretty scarce.

Har Sinai alley and the Great Synagogue

Har Sinai alley and the Great Synagogue

There are a number of popular nighttime eateries in the Har Sinai alley that wraps around the Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv. There is great food and a cool place to hang out in the evening. There is a Shishko Resto-Bar where you can dine. A Balkan influence can be found in its cuisine. You can also find tasty dishes at the other spots - Eyal Shani's Port Said restaurant is located near the Great Synagogue with a variety of dishes offered at discounted prices with a focus on quality ingredients, while Thailandit offers relaxed entertainment, the food remains spicy, challenging in a good way, and faithful to the original. You can walk towards the Harbaa Street, Shenkin Street, Rothchild Boulevard from Allenby, which is on the other side of the synagogue...

Rashel: A Memorable Moroccan Fusion Dining Experience in Tel Aviv

Rashel: A Memorable Moroccan Fusion Dining Experience in Tel Aviv

As an American tourist visiting Tel Aviv, I had the pleasure of dining at Rashel, a Moroccan restaurant and lounge bar located in the port of Tel Aviv. The restaurant offers a Mediterranean fusion menu and is strictly kosher. From the moment I stepped inside, I was immediately transported to another world. The restaurant's decor was beautiful, with bright colors and intricate patterns, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The menu at Rashel was extensive and offered a variety of dishes that blended traditional Moroccan flavors with modern Mediterranean cuisine. The chef clearly takes pride in using the best and freshest ingredients available, and it showed in the taste and presentation of each dish. I started with the kitchen jam and carpaccio, which were both delicious and full of flavor. For my main course, I tried the grilled sea bass and was blown away by the delicate and perfectly cooked fish, which was accompanied by a flavorful side of beets. The dessert menu at Rashel was equally impressive, and I indulged in the millefeuille Louisa and lemon, which was a perfect ending to my meal. Overall, my experience at Rashel was exceptional. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend Rashel to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience in Tel Aviv.
