Yafo (also commonly known as Joppa and Jaffa), now absorbed into the Israeli coastal metropolis as a southern suburb of Tel Aviv, represents the most ancient city centre and port within the Tel Aviv region. Before the foundation of the new Jewish city of Tel Aviv in 1908 in the sandhills north of Yafo, Yafo was the main settlement for Arabs, Jews and the various waves of occupiers (Turks, British, etc...) alike.

Understand

Get in

One of the best ways to get to Yafo is to walk from central Tel Aviv (where most travellers stay), along the beach promenade, until you inevitably reach the northern outskirts of Yafo.

• Abouelafia and Sons - the most famous bakery in Tel Aviv-Yafo, if not the entire country of Israel. In the main street, at the bottom of the hill as you approach from central Tel Aviv. Mounds of pastries and confectionaries.... the best! Israelis drive for miles to visit this bakery at all hours (it's open round the clock)... An absolute institution and not to be missed!

• Aladin - in the heart of Old Yafo

• Ali Karavan - Abu Hasan, corner of Yehuda Ha'Yamit and Ha'Dolphin. Famous for its hummus & massabaha (a more coarsely textured hummus w/ whole chick peas mixed in).
