What to expect
Great Mahmoudiya Mosque
Largest and most beautiful mosque in Jaffa. Discuss Islamic architecture, the sabil (fountain), and Arab Jaffa under Ottoman rule. Respectful explanation of its active status today.
Meet & greet. Talk about Ottoman Jaffa. “Why do so many clocks in Israel run late?” Intro to Sultan Abdul Hamid II and modernization of Jaffa.
One of the oldest ports in the world — where Jonah fled, Crusaders landed, and fishermen still cast their nets. Today it’s a mix of old stone arches, art galleries, and seaside cafés. Ancient vibes with a modern twist — and perfect for a sea-breeze selfie!
Kikar Kedumim-Old Jaffa
Ancient Jaffa. Jonah, Egyptians, Greeks. Layers of civilizations. Panoramic views of Tel Aviv.
St. Peter's Church
Baroque beauty and pilgrimage stories. Napoleon’s brief stay. Christian-Muslim encounters here.
Abrasha Park
A peaceful hilltop park with stunning views of Tel Aviv’s skyline and coastline. Great place to reflect on Jaffa’s layers of history — from Egyptian gates to modern towers. Also features sculptures and archaeological remains tucked between trees and flowers. A breath of fresh air, literally and historically.
Ramses II's Gate Garden
Step into a quiet corner where ancient Egypt meets modern Israel. This garden hides a real archaeological treasure: a massive stone gate fragment bearing the name of Pharaoh Ramses II — the same one from Exodus fame! It’s a rare reminder that Jaffa was already a big deal over 3,000 years ago. History, shade, and a great photo with a pharaoh!
Suspended Orange Tree
A tree growing... from mid-air? This quirky sculpture by artist Ran Morin always gets a second look. Suspended in a clay pot, it’s a playful symbol of Jaffa itself — rooted in history, but always a little surreal.
The flea market is a treasure hunt — vintage furniture, antiques, jewelry, and the occasional “is-this-art-or-junk” find. Bustling, colorful, and full of character, it’s the perfect place to grab a coffee, shop for souvenirs, or just people-watch in a place where every object has a story.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
