Sunset Tour: History & Culture of Jaffa

Shalom, I'm Nico, and I want to invite you to visit the Ancient City of Jaffa on the Sababatour. We'll talk about the history, culture, and society of Jaffa, Tel Aviv, and Israel as a whole. But we'll focus on Jaffa while we walk through its cobblestone streets. I'll tell you why this place is so important for Christians, Jews, and Muslims.

The city of Jaffa is so old that it was mentioned in the Bible under the name Joppa. We have evidence of humans inhabiting this area more than 4000 years ago, and since then it has been a very important port city through which empires and civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Crusaders, Ottomans, British, and even characters like Saladin and Napoleon passed through. Today, the neighborhood has a unique cultural diversity, in which Christians, Jews, and Muslims work together, making Jaffa a good example of coexistence.

The tour lasts two hours, is an easy walk, and includes visits to:
The Clock Tower
The Church of St. Peter
The House of Simon the Tanner
City viewpoint
The flea market and other points of interest
