Local guide


About Old Jaffa

Old Jaffa is not like the rest of Tel-Aviv - and you feel it immediately. Old and new, ancient and bohemian collide to create a vibrant neighbourhood where art galleries, design boutiques, and restaurants lie side-by-side to archaeological excavation sites. Old Jaffa is a maze of Ottoman sandstone homes along narrow, winding alleyways with beautiful Mediterranean-blue doors and shutters that make it feel like you're worlds apart from modern Tel-Aviv...
