    Jaffa Port

    One of the oldest ports in the world — where Jonah fled, Crusaders landed, and fishermen still cast their nets. Today it’s a mix of old stone arches, art galleries, and seaside cafés. Ancient vibes with a modern twist — and perfect for a sea-breeze selfie!

    A peaceful hilltop park with stunning views of Tel Aviv’s skyline and coastline. Great place to reflect on Jaffa’s layers of history — from Egyptian gates to modern towers.

    Step into a quiet corner where ancient Egypt meets modern Israel. This garden hides a real archaeological treasure: a massive stone gate fragment bearing the name of Pharaoh Ramses II — the same one from Exodus fame! It’s a rare reminder that Jaffa was already a big deal over 3,000 years ago. History, shade, and a great photo with a pharaoh!

    Suspended Orange Tree

    A tree growing... from mid-air? This quirky sculpture by artist Ran Morin always gets a second look. Suspended in a clay pot, it’s a playful symbol of Jaffa itself — rooted in history, but always a little surreal.

    10 minutes • Admission ticket free
  • 9
    Jaffa Flea Market

    The flea market is a treasure hunt — vintage furniture, antiques, jewelry, and the occasional “is-this-art-or-junk” find. Bustling, colorful, and full of character, it’s the perfect place to grab a coffee, shop for souvenirs, or just people-watch in a place where every object has a story.
