Detail of one of the buildings in the Old City of Jaffa, near Tel Aviv.
This Arab town is possibly the oldest port in the World, and is mentioned in the Bible four times
"Archaeological evidence shows that Jaffa was inhabited some 7,500 years before the Common era (BCE).Jaffa's natural harbor has been in use since the Bronze Age. It is mentioned in an Ancient Egyptian letter from 1470 BCE, glorifying its conquest by Pharaoh Thutmose III, who hid armed warriors in large baskets and gave the baskets as a present to the Canaanite city's governor." - from Wikipedia

A Christian church stands on Tel Yafo, above the Ancient port of Jaffa, as seen from the beaches towards Tel Aviv.
The Minaret from yesterday's photo is also there, down lower.
This was a difficult shot as the Sun was in front of me, and it was also realy, realy hot ;-)

The "Old Port" of Tel Aviv, is a place where people used to toil on boats. It is now heavily "gentrified" and has a huge selection of places to eat and shop. There is a path along the Mediterranean from here so you can walk all the way to the ancient Port of Jaffa.
