Embark on a captivating private day tour of Jaffa and Tel Aviv, where ancient history and modern vibrancy converge seamlessly. The tour will take you through old Jaffa, boasting significant biblical history, and Tel-Aviv, a dynamic cosmopolitan hub that never sleeps.
Begin your journey with a stroll in the Old Jaffa‘s alleys while your guide briefs you on its long and rich history. Wander amidst art galleries and reach the House of Simon, the Tanner, where, by local tradition, Peter was instructed to forsake Jewish Kosher food laws (Acts 10). Continue to the port, once associated with King Solomon (2 Chronicles 16) and the prophet Jonah (1). The seaport offers an ideal place for a coffee break and the intrigue of tracking “Andromeda’s Rock,” linking Jaffa also to Greek Mythology.
Pass by the iconic ‘Clock Tower’ as your guide will lead you into the vibrant Flea Market, the former commercial heart of Jaffa. Its vintage shops, art galleries, and restaurants are ideal for a lunch break before heading to Tel Aviv.
Traverse through Neve Tzedek, the first Jewish colony outside Jaffa. Now a trendy locale with chic stores, Neve Tzedek is a popular destination for both tourists and locals. Nearby lies Rothschild Boulevard, the historical heart of early Tel-Aviv, boasting eclectic architecture and trendy dining establishments. Rothschild Boulevard also houses the iconic “Independence Hall,” where the State of Israel was declared in 1948. Concluding the tour of Tel-Aviv, the final destination will be the solemn site of Rabin’s Assassination, a pivotal moment in modern Israeli history.
