TOUR 1: ARCHITECTURE IN TEL AVIV - BAUHAUS - THE "WHITE CITY"
In 2003, UNESCO declared "The White City", the unique urban and historical fabric of Tel Aviv, as a World Cultural Heritage Site. The tour focuses on the modern architectural styles and techniques of the 1930's along the famous Rothschild Boulevard. The 'White City' is truly the cornerstone of Tel Aviv, where every doorpost and terrace holds a wealth of history. Savour the stories from beginning to end, and experience Tel Aviv's rich history and present day splendour.
Dinner will take place at the "Petrozilia" Kosher Grill Bar.
TOUR 2: THE OLD CITY OF JAFFA
This evening tour of Old Jaffa will take you along the city's alleys, past the Clock Square and Mosque, through the Greek mansard up to the Summit Garden with its breathtaking views of the lights of Tel Aviv's skyline and Jaffa Port, full of ancient memories.
Join us on an amazing tour in pursuance of legendary Jaffa inhabitants and their tales, such as the love story of Andromeda and Perseus, the painter Nahum Gutman, Joseph Moyal and the clock tower, Aris San and the beginnings of Mediterranean Music in Israel, Napoleon's conquest of the city, Abu Nabot and his construction of the city and much more.
Dinner will take place at the "Old Man & the Sea" Restaurant
TOUR 3: NEVE TZEDEK AND THE TAHANA COMPLEX
Tales, people, gossip and nostalgia in the alleys of Tel Aviv's first neighborhood. Neveh Tzedek, the "Oasis of the Righteous" was the first neighborhood outside of Jaffa and a valuable focal point of spirituality, culture and the arts in the development of the Yishuv. During the course of this tour we hear the story of the formerly poor and decaying neighborhood that has turned into one of the most impressive examples of neighborhood conservation. The renovated buildings tell the story of the establishment of this neighborhood and the city. The tour leads us through picturesque streets.
HaTachana, Hebrew for "the station" refers to the old Tel aviv railway station, located between Jaffa and the renovated neighborhood of Neve tzedek. HaTachana complex is a magical place where history, modernity and commercialism seamlessly fuse. From the end of the nineteenth century until the establishment of the State, the railway station served as the final stop on the Jaffa-Jerusalem line. The site decayed after the railway closed until 2005, when the Tel Aviv municipality took it over and began to renovate.
Dinner will take place at the "Baba Yaga" Restaurant.
