In April 2014, the city of Jaffa was visited (Biblical name - Iopia).
To date, this is the port city of Israel. Part of Tel Aviv. The old part of the city is very famous for its attractions and beauty.
This city has a very rich history, he destroyed many times and rejected again, in the history of this kind of celebrities such as Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Octavian August, Pompey, Mark Anthony and even Herod Great. In the old part of the city, excavations are still underway.
Since this is a very old city, the buildings in it are not destroyed, but are restored, so the price of a small apartment in this city reaches $ 5 million.
Naturally, the simple people do not live there, all apartments in Stary Jaffa are bought by the great and famous people of creative specialties: musicians, artists, sculptors and others.
This old and fabulous city is filled with cafes and restaurants, he has a wonderful embankment with ships and yachts.
There are also museums and shops. On the old streets, Jaffa is one of the most expensive shops of the world, since all products in it are made of gold and silver. Of course, we looked at this shop, because, well, where else we will have such an opportunity to see so many precious metals at the same time. In this store there is even a sculpture of Vysotsky!
Also this city is famous for its biblical history. First, it was in this city that Ion was spawned by Keith and, it was, that Iona began his journey with Iopia. Therefore, there is a monument to whale.
And in this city, the Apostle Paul got God's command to go to the pagans and tell them about Jesus Christ when I prayed in the house of Simon Tehlerik. At the site of this house now stands the Temple of Peter.
Another interesting destination for tourists is the "hanging tree". The story tells us that one Jew did not want to pay the land tax, so I made a clay vessel, hung it between the houses and planted the wood inside. This tree hangs in the middle of the street, and to this day.
There are many beautiful cafes and restaurants in this town, there are so many temples, and each of them is rich in their history and a secret.
From the embankment, Jaffa opens just a delightful view of Evening Tel Aviv. We were in Jaffa in the evening, so I had an excellent opportunity to see such beauty! And over his head, airplanes fly to Ben Gurion Airport, which is located in Tel Aviv.
On Jaffa Squares you can buy different souvenirs and decorations. So, for example, the pendant for the Jewish theme will cost you in 20-30 shekels (5-8 dollars). Also, you can try real oriental sweetness - from 25 shekels.
One word, we were very pleased with such a walk. Jaffa is a truly fabulous city. He has a long and interesting story, and it is necessary to visit !!!
