excavations are in progress. The museum consists of various

What is it? The focus of this museum is to convey the
story of the Jewish people from the time of the expulsion of the
Jews from Israel by the Romans 2,500 years ago to their subsequent
return to Israel. The multi-storey displays and exhibitions reflect
the diverse Jewish communities that have been sustained over time
by common cultural and religious links. The Jewish Music Centre has
thousands of recordings of Jewish music, from traditional to the
music of communities that were wiped out in the Holocaust, as well
as works by Jewish composers. There is also a genealogy centre
where visitors can explore their ancestry from thousands of records
of Jewish families from around the world, and register their own
family trees for future generations.

1pm

4. Jaffa
|
What is it? The historical port city of Jaffa is easily
reached from Tel Aviv by foot or car. Its inhabitants have included
notable biblical, Greek and Roman figures and its name is said to
have been derived from Japhet, Noah's son. Archaeological finds
indicate that Jaffa existed as a port city 4,000 years ago serving
both Egyptian and Phoenician sailors on their sea voyages. The
entrance to the Old Town is marked by the Ottoman Clock Tower, a
prominent landmark and meeting point. Jaffa has become a popular
tourist attraction filled with interesting shops, Mediterranean
style restaurants and sun-drenched cafes. There are artist
quarters, studios and galleries as well as shops specialising in
Judaica and archaeology. At night the historical walls are
illuminated, revealing a beautiful architectural backdrop offset
against the soft lapping of the sea onto the ancient port walls. An
exploration into Jaffa's history can be experienced at the Jaffa
Museum that contains a dazzling collection of artefacts (It is
located at 10 Mifratz Shlomo Street, Old Jaffa and is open from
Sunday to Thursday between 9am and 1pm).
