Take a Tour Across Jaffa, the Ancient Quarter of Tel Aviv, Israel
Esteemed Steemians,
join me today for a walk across Jaffa, the oldest quarter of Tel Aviv, Israel. While Tel Aviv makes a very modern and cosmopolitan impression in almost all aspects, Jaffa has all the traits of a charming old, ancient harbor town.
Jaffa or Yafo, is the located in the southern and oldest part of Tel Aviv-Jaffa. The town is famous for its association with biblical stories as well as the mythological story of Andromeda and Perseus, and later with oranges.
The Clock Square with its hallmark clocktower was built in 1906. Jaffa Hill is a center for archaeological finds, including restored Egyptian gates. Jaffa Lighthouse is located in the old port. It boasts a stunning view to the contrasting modern skyline of Tel Aviv.
Modern Jaffa has a mixed population of Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

Hey thank your for this great view of Jaffa! I miss Tel Aviv a lot!
Hey there, thanks for your kind comment. You lived in Tel Aviv? Cool :) Glad you like the pics
Spent almost 2 weeks in Tel Aviv many many years ago (1975!) with low-end camera, and 35 mm slides buried somewhere in the basement, so it was fantastic to see your photos of Jaffa, one of my favourite spots while we were there! Thanks, and following.
Wow! How awesome it would be if you could dig those photos up and share them with us 😉 glad you like the post
Might do - not sure of the quality, might have to classify them as 'vintage' photos!
Please do 😍 vintage photos are the best
There's an orange soda pop sold for decades up here called Jaffa, hehe!
