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.

The White City (Hebrew: העיר הלבנה‎, Ha-Ir HaLevana) refers to a collection of over 4,000 Bauhaus or International style buildings built in Tel Aviv from the 1930s by German Jewish architects who immigrated to the British Mandate of Palestine after the rise of the Nazis. Tel Aviv has the largest number of buildings in this style of any city in the world. Preservation, documentation, and exhibitions have brought attention to Tel Aviv's collection of 1930s architecture. In 2003, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed Tel Aviv's White City a World Cultural Heritage site, as "an outstanding example of new town planning and architecture in the early 20th century."[1] The citation recognized the unique adaptation of modern international architectural trends to the cultural, climatic, and local traditions of the city.

Tel Aviv has a Mediterranean climate with hot, rainless, yet humid summers, pleasant to erratic springs and autumns, and typically chilly, wet winters (Köppen climate classification Csa). Humidity tends to be high year-round due to the city's proximity to the sea. In winter, average temperatures are usually between 9 °C (48 °F) and 17 °C (63 °F), with temperatures as low as 6 °C (43 °F) on colder bright mornings. In summer the average is 26 °C (79 °F), with daytime temperatures sometimes exceeding 32 °C (90 °F). Despite the high humidity, precipitation during summertime is rare. Tel Aviv averages 530.7 millimeters (20.9 in) of precipitation annually which usually occur from September through May. The most precipitation fall in winter, usually with thunderstorms and sometimes as hail, snow is very rare yet occurred one time in February 1950. Tel Aviv enjoys long daytime with more than 300 sunny days a year.

We have a promenade, a long promenade, running alongside the seashore that makes up the western edge of Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
There, we walk or jog, ride bikes, sit on benches, fill our lungs with fresh air. A glorious 8.7 miles of open views, blue horizons, white sails bobbing on the waves, kite surfers and windsurfers all around.
There's a daytime promenade, and there's the nighttime version. Dozens of restaurants, cafes, and ice cream parlors are busy all day long, while pubs, discos and jazz clubs blossom after dark.
Regardless of the hour, human attractions abound – clowns, caricaturists, tattoo artists, hair-braiders, magicians and of course, the ever- changing parade of people strolling by The nearby beaches beckon.
Clean sand, lounge chairs, ice-cream vendors and diehard beach-lovers that swim daily, winter and summer, no matter what.
Each beach has its own unique character.
A few tips: On the Dolphinarium beach on Friday afternoons, for instance, you can join an improvised percussion festival, and the Brazilian martial arts/dance/music combination called capoeira.
Go to Gordon beach for beach volleyball.
The religiously observant will find gender- segregated swimming close to the Tel Aviv port.
The gay-lesbian community will gravitate to the stretch near the Hilton, which has earned the unofficial title of Tel Aviv's gay-friendliest beach.
At the Metzitzim beach, you can let your dogs and your hormones run wild among the assembled babes and hunks.
