Netanya is a picturesque resort city, a city of boulevards and parks and, of course, well-groomed beaches. It is an ideal place for a family vacation on the Mediterranean.
But it is the Dead Sea that attracts many tourists to Israel. Which is essentially a salt lake located on the territory of two countries – Israel and Jordan. The composition of the water in the Dead Sea is unique, not typical of other seas, which is why this place attracts tourists with its healing and miraculous properties.
Another interesting city in Israel is Haifa, which is called the pearl of northern Israel. When you come here, you will hear a funny saying more than once: “Tel Aviv is resting, Jerusalem is praying, and Haifa is working.”
This picturesque Mediterranean city is the third largest city in the country after Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. It is located on the coast and slopes of the majestic Mount Carmel. Haifa is the largest seaport in Israel, and the entire history of the city is inextricably linked to the Mediterranean Sea.
Acre is a city in the Western Galilee (Israel), located 18 km north of the city of Haifa, on the Mediterranean Sea. It is considered one of the world’s monuments and is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Cities.
Acre is one of the cities in Israel whose history has lasted almost without interruption for over 4000 years. The city was located at the crossroads of international trade routes and therefore has always been a center of history, a meeting point for many different cultures and a strategic location for military campaigns.
When people say “Caesarea”, some people, mostly Israelis, mean a small town on the Mediterranean coast with excellent infrastructure, where leading Israeli companies operate. The other part of people, mostly visitors and tourists, have in mind a large National Park full of archaeological finds. It is practically an entire ancient city. And what is remarkable is that both the former and the latter are right. There are remnants of Roman and Byzantine streets, gutters, houses with mosaic floors and Greek inscriptions.
So here we are in the capital! For most tourists in Tel Aviv, the first attraction is the clean sandy beaches along the Mediterranean coast and the long, well-equipped promenade for walking. But it is worth remembering that it is not the beaches that made this city the economic and cultural capital of Israel.
The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is the largest art museum in Israel. It exhibits works by Picasso, Cézanne, Monet, Renoir, Chagall, Rodin, Dalí, Klimt, Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, as well as Flemish and Italian masters from Rubens to Conoletto, the most famous Impressionists – Matisse, Braque, Mondrian and others. There is everything here – photography, design, sculpture.
In Tel Aviv, be sure to take a walk along Rothschild Boulevard. This beautiful boulevard is lined with classic Bauhaus buildings, European-style houses and several skyscrapers. Along Rothschild there are numerous cafes, bars and restaurants that are crowded on any day of the week.
If you’ve heard of Neve Tzedek, it’s the main street of the most picturesque neighborhood of the city, located on the border with Jaffa. Neve Tzedek is a kind of oasis in the center of the metropolis. There is no public transportation and no high-rise buildings here, it is a place for relaxation or a comfortable quiet life. Along the street there are shops of Israeli designers, exquisite interior items, souvenirs and jewelry, restaurants, cafes and wine bars.
By the way, it is in Tel Aviv that the Diamond Exchange is located – it is the most famous exchange in Israel and around the world. It is a union of well-known diamond manufacturers and an association of businessmen working in this industry.
The old city of Jaffa is one of the oldest port cities on the planet. There is a legend that it was here that Noah created his ark. There are many interesting sights to see here: the underground archaeological museum, the Franciscan Church of St. Peter, the Andromeda Stone, the remains of ancient Egyptian and Turkish fortifications, the Bridge of Wishes, Abrasha Park, and many others.
The old city of Jaffa takes on amazing colors, especially in the pre-sunset hours, when the uneven ancient stone walls and sidewalks turn a warm reddish-orange hue in the sunlight. It offers a magnificent view of the Tel Aviv waterfront.
Jaffa’s old town descends to the port, where hundreds of fishing boats sway on the waves, bringing fresh fish and seafood to local restaurants every day.
