Jaffa Hotel - White Rock Palace On Top Of Tel Aviv's Hill

Location:

Tel-Aviv Israel Middle East
ChurchLuxury

Long before Tel Aviv's skyline grew from the dunes, Jaffo was a bustling port city. The ancient part of Tel-Aviv-Yafo (this latter refers to the two cities' marriage) was established in 1800 BCE.

Jaffa is the longest continuously inhabited city in the world, and it was built on 130 feet (40 meters) high ridge overlooking the Mediterranean coast of the biblical land.

Old Jaffa is quickly becoming Tel Aviv's most fascinating spot, where history meets modernity, and large crowds enjoy its unique architecture and fresh seafood in its renovated port.
