Britain controls Jaffa until the creation of the independent state of Israel in May 1948. Despite the historic hurricanes that often swept over the Mediterranean coast of Eretz Yisrael, old Jaffa managed to maintain its unique flavor. The oldest Jaffa port operates today; Arab and Jewish fishing longboats still come here with a catch. There are fish shops and restaurants in the port area. Now Jaffa is part of northern Tel Aviv, but it still continues to amaze with its beauty. The port, narrow stone streets, a huge variety of attractions: the Jaffa Antiquities Museum, the Underground Archaeological Museum on Kdumim Square, the Jaffa History Museum, the Frank Meisler Sculpture Salon, the Farkash Gallery - a collection of historical Israeli posters, the Clock Tower, the remains of the fortress wall of the Ottoman rule, “The Column faith ”on the French site.

This unhurried walk from the embankment through the old city to another part of the embankment will allow you to fully understand and feel the old part of the city of Jaffa. Walking along the promenade from the famous ledge resembling the bow of a ship to the customs building, we learn the history of an important port city, and, having understood from the port along the stairs to its narrow streets, we plunge into the kingdom of the east. But not for long will we be accompanied by a sense of fairy tales of a thousand and one nights. The modern history of Jaffa will slightly open the veil on his creative and pictorial side. These are galleries, monuments, sculptures, a constant floating orange and zodiac signs with a wish bridge. We conclude our walk by going down along the house of Simon Tanner to the English part of the port to its restaurants, shops and the famous scales, which served the English customs faithfully in a difficult fight against smugglers. By the way, from the roof of the house of the tanner Simon almost two thousand years ago, Christianity began its journey to Rome. Translated with Google Translate
