JaffaNewest Review: ... was once a major port and was originally settled by Japeth, one of Noah's sons. Jaffa is very easy to walk to, simply follow the coast in a southerly direction. You'll know when you get there. I actually stayed New Yaffo, an area easily visited from Tel Aviv on bus 75 amongst other possibilities. It's also rather close (20 minutes by foot) to the main bus station in Tel Aviv. A large ... more |

Jaffa is a city of contradictions. Being one of a very few towns in Israel there Arabs and Jews actually live together, it has an exotic flavour of mixed cultures. And unlike Tel-Aviv which is ever pretending to be that it's not (mainly a bustling European metropolis), it is genuinely authentic. What will strike you most when you enter Jaffa (the best way to do it, is just to walk or ride along the Tel-Aviv boardwalk straight onto Jaffa's main street) is the astounding poverty of everything around you.
