Sybil Suleiman was built at the beginning of the 19th century in honor of the legendary ruler Akko Suleiman Pasha. This Sibil is part of the Mahmudiya Mosque - the largest mosque in Jaffa and the third largest in Palestine. The Yafa tale, about the origin of which everyone has already forgotten, says that the ruler of the city of Abu Nabut remained behind the city gates, which were locked when darkness fell, and the guards did not let him into the city, observing the strictest ban. Abu Nabut was thirsty, and the guards only made fun of him. The next morning, entering the city, Nabut ordered to gather all the residents and the two guards who were bothering him and ordered to bring sacks of gold to the town square. He rewarded the guards with gold in front of all residents, for jealously guarding the city’s gates and not letting him in and ordering them to be executed for laughing at him. And the remaining gold spent on the construction of Sybil, so that those who can not enter the city had something to drink. Translated with Google Translate
Jaffa, in the evening, on the streets of the flea market, becomes a completely different city. Midday noise, scorching sun, trade and junk disappear, and restaurants, boutiques, bars appear in the laboratory and people's faces become noticeable, and their smiles, music is heard and wine aroma appears in the air.
