Jaffa keeps something of the atmosphere of an old Arab town, very different from the European air of Tel Aviv. It is particularly lively in the evening, when the restaurants in the heart of the old town are filled with people.
Walking in the narrow streets of old Jaffa is an absolute must. The old town is also called 'artist's center' because of the many artists who live here. There are also a lot of small shops, bakeries and little restaurants. Pay attention to the streets signs; they are unique to Jaffa and definitely exquisite.
Old Jaffa is one of the most attractive places to tour in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. The city which has always been the entry to the ancient land of Israel is succeeding, even today, its traditional aromas and fragrances which have always characterized it: beautiful stone buildings, narrow, winding alleys, a fisherman’s port, artists’ quarter, cafés s, restaurants and shops. In Jaffa there are ancient churches, which are among the most beautiful in Israel, serving the city’s Christian community, with open doors for visitors and the faithful.
