Jaffa port has always been appreciated due to its location. Here the trade sea route passed, pilgrims arrived here in Jerusalem, British and French troops were based here, food and help were delivered to Jewish communities in the Holy Land. The symbolic rose of distances (by analogy with the rose of winds) is depicted on the plates of the port embankment. It indicates the direction and mileage to the famous cities of the world. Sometimes, surprise encompasses, and an involuntary smile visits the mouth of how close, in fact, everything is close. Translated with Google Translate
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
