The Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv is a multidisciplinary museum that presents land's history and its culture in an extensive permanent exhibition, as well as temporary exhibitions on a variety of subjects – such as ethnography, archaeology, folklore, Judaica, cultural history and local identity, traditional crafts and functional arts.

Thousands of years of history come together in Jaffa, one of the world's oldest cities and the birthplace of Tel Aviv.
A center of tourism, food and fun, with an exotic Levantine ambience.
Driving to Jaffa is like going through a time tunnel- tunnel – skyscrapers soar on the left, while ahead lays a city with thousands of years behind it.
The main port of the ancient land of Israel, and one of the first ports in the world, Jaffa was a center of commerce and culture, agriculture and tourism, the destination of shipping lines from Alexandria and Beirut.
From the Clock Tower Square, convoys of wagons and camels fanned out to all parts of the land, and pilgrims made their way on foot to the holy city of Jerusalem.
The clock tower built by the Turkish Sultan Abd al-Hamid the II in 1906, when the land was under Ottoman rule, has recently undergone a facelift, as has the square surrounding it.
In the alley next to the Mahmuddiyah mosque, men are absorbed in endless games of backgammon, or shesh-besh, to use the local parlance.
Coffeehouses offering narghiles to smoke along with tiny cups of strong black Turkish coffee create an authentic Levantine atmosphere.

Just behind the flea market and Jerusalem Boulevard, in a sort of no-man’s land that links Florentin to Jaffa, lies the American Colony. This tiny, picturesque neighborhood of wooden homes with gabled roofs looks as though it was transported from a New England museum about life in the nineteenth century – which it was, in a way.
In 1866, a group of American Evangelical Christians from Jonesport, Maine docked in Jaffa, bringing with them the wood they used to build their homes in the holy land. They later sold the tiny colony to German Templars, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the German Colony. The story of the American Colony is told at the Maine Friendship House, which is open daily to visitors.

The Carmel Market, Bursting With Life, With Surprises Tucked Away
For those who are mad about markets, this place is heaven.
And for fans of freshness, there could be no better destination – perfect parsley, the juiciest melons, the most marvelous mangoes.
Not to mention the meat, the fish, the cheeses, the flowers – a true cornucopia of flavors and aromas. Stalls line both sides of the covered market's main walkway, but don't miss the shops in the tiny alleys behind.
That's where you'll find the genuine gems: the cheese and smoked meat delicatessens, the barrels full of herring and other salted fish, all varieties of pickles, halvah and other sweets, even clothing and fabric shops. Your nose will guide you to the bakeries, spice shops and coffee-roasters.
The Carmel Market is a feast for the senses, an anthropological and gastronomic adventure.
