Jaffa: Israeli city with most ancient port

Jaffa, also called Yafo, is the world's oldest port on Mediterranean sea.


Tel Aviv has grown from Jaffa in 1909 on it's outskirts.


Jaffa's association with biblical stories of Jonah, Solomon, Saint Peter, mythological stories of Andromeda & Perseus; makes it more historical.

Jaffa attracts with sites, sounds, alleyways where streets are lined up with artist galleries, studios, boutique, craft shops, restaurants having special eatables.

Following are pictures of Jaffa port, historical places in Old Jaffa city including scenic street view, taken by the author in his visit.
