The Aladin restaurant in old Jaffa is located in an old building and was once my favorite. The indoor hall, as well as two open verandas, offer stunning views of the sea, Tel Aviv embankment and the mythical cliffs of Andromeda, which, according to legend, are a reminder of a sea monster turned into stone. The meal on the open veranda seemed to me fabulous ten years ago at sunset, when the sun was rapidly setting over the sea horizon, staining the outgoing day with red and pink tones, which were echoed by the awakening lights of the skyscrapers of big Tel Aviv. The forty-year history of the restaurant knows many romantic moments, the fruits of which were numerous acquaintances, novels, marriages and just good relations. But, alas, nothing lasts forever under the moon, and everything flows, everything changes. Translated with Google Translate
One of the most interesting pages in the history of Tel Aviv and Jaffa is the relationship of cities throughout the twentieth century. Jaffa has been a large port city for centuries, and Tel Aviv was only conceived in 1909. The first railway in Palestine was built between Jaffa and Jerusalem when Tel Aviv was not yet there. The Manshia quarter - at the junction of Jaffa and Tel Aviv - ceased to exist during the war for the Independence of Israel. Jaffa became part of the booming Tel Aviv, but retained its identity. All these stories will be told by the route from Mitham aTahan - the old railway station, across the Manshia embankment to ancient Jaffa to the top of the hill of Abrashi Park, where today the most beautiful and most famous view of Tel Aviv and Jaffa opens.
