Charming Old Jaffa |

|
Jaffa provides many activity options for the traveling tourist, but even just walking down Jaffa's streets will provide you with a breathtaking experience.
It's true that some of the areas are rundown, but her charm prevails. Enjoy the flea market, museums, galleries and beautiful old port in Jaffa.
Hummus "Al Haboker"According to Arab cultural tradition, humus should be eaten early in the morning, when it's fresh. To give your day an authentic starting point, pop into Abu-Hasan and dip into a plate of humus (after all, when in Rome…). But remember that humus isn't one of the lightest substances and it might make you feel quite heavy. So consider the fact that a day in bed or on the beach might seem like a more sensible move after a humus breakfast.
The Flea Market The Flea Market is lovely in all hours of the day, but the late morning is a good time to go. Friday is the busiest day of all, when the merchants take out their stock for all to see. Weekdays are less crowded and hectic, but still with a charming ambience. While wandering around the market, you can stop for a coffee in Pooa, or perhaps even breakfast if you don't feel quite ready for the authenticity of Humus Al Haboker.
Old JaffaWander through the picturesque alleys of Old Jaffa and pop into a couple of museums in the area, such as Ilana Gur Museum or the Visitor's Center. If you are in an artistic mood, another option is to walk through the numerous galleries on these lovely little alleys. There are a number of good restaurants in the area , such as Noa or Abdu Hadayag (37 Yeffet St. (03) 518-2595), which is a little further down on Yeffet St.
Old port and Givat Aliya Beach Work your way down to the Old Port, where you can walk around one of the most ancient, yet still active, ports in the world. Alternatively you could spend a couple of hours on the beautiful and untouched Givat Aliya Beach, and only then walk to the port and enjoy a light meal there at sunset.
If you don't really feel like leaving Jaffa when the day has gone by, pop into Yoezer and taste a glass of wine from their carefully crafted wine menu.
