Jaffa
The historical port city of Jaffa is easily reached from Tel Aviv by foot or car. Its inhabitants have included notable biblical, Greek and Roman figures and its name is said to have been derived from Japhet, Noah's son. Archaeological finds indicate that Jaffa existed as a port city 4,000 years ago serving both Egyptian and Phoenician sailors on their sea voyages. The entrance to the Old Town is marked by the Ottoman Clock Tower, a prominent landmark and meeting point. Jaffa has become a popular tourist attraction filled with interesting shops, Mediterranean style restaurants and sun-drenched cafes. There are artist quarters, studios and galleries as well as shops specializing in Judaica and archaeology. At night the historical walls are illuminated, revealing a beautiful architectural backdrop offset against the soft lapping of the sea onto the ancient port walls. An exploration into Jaffa's history can be experienced at the Jaffa Museum that contains a dazzling collection of artifacts (It is located at 10 Mifratz Shlomo Street, Old Jaffa and is open from Sunday to Thursday between 9am and 1pm).
