Tel Aviv Holidays Overview
A guide to holidays in Tel Aviv - Tel Aviv is a vibrant modern city that is best
known for its sun-drenched beaches, pumping nightclubs, designer
shopping, crowded street markets and high culture. What it lacks in
antiquities, Tel Aviv makes up for in commerce. One third of
Israel's population have made the bustling metropolis home. At
weekends residents from nearby towns head to Tel Aviv looking for
entertainment and relaxation and city slickers spill out onto the
city's beaches to soak up the Mediterranean sun along a six-mile
(10km) stretch of golden sand. The diversity of the population is
reflected in the architectural variations and influences such as
the Yemenite Quarter and the Vodka cafes of Allenby Street. Tel
Aviv also provides an ideal base from which to explore other parts
of Israel including Jaffa, the Galilee and
Caesarea.
