Jaffa Port - Quest style Tour |
|
Touching the beauty in all its meanings can be possible only in Jaffa. Even the name of the city in translation from Hebrew means – "beautiful".
|
|
Jaffa is one of the oldest cities in the world. Its history is more than 4000 years old. It had been seized by the great historical figures of the ancient and modern world: the Pharaoh Ramses II, Alexander the Great, Saladin, Richard the Lionheart, Napoleon Bonaparte and others. And each one of them, probably for the love of beauty, thought to be his honorable duty to completely destroy the city and then to rebuilt it.
|
|
Today the city is a part of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa metropolitan and the Old City has become the home for Israeli bohemia: artists, sculptors, poets, writers and musicians. In the renovated Jaffa port yachts and fishing boats are moored and its lighthouse has turned into historical landmark.
|
|
Despite the constant destruction, the richest history of Jaffa is felt at every step. The city is enshrouded in mysteries, legends, stories about love and war and funny anecdotes. And all this history you will discover and learn on your own.
