We recommend you to enter the old city with the promenade by climbing up its narrow stairs. This is exactly how wanderers got into Palestine for many centuries in a row.

Jaffa is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Just imagine, it has been for more than 4,000 years than this small patch of land on the Mediterranean coast has been bustling with life, trade, individual and political dramas and conflicts. Modern times are, undoubtedly, the most peaceful in Jaffa’s history. It seems to have fallen into lethargic dream bothered by a few tourist groups that try to look under every stone of every corner. However, apart from art galleries, there are very few places you could visit when exploring its narrow streets. Since the territory of the city is quite large, we suggest you complete several tasks here.

The growing of orange trees was begun in Jaffa thanks to Templers, members of the German colonial sect who had been actively developing agriculture in Tel Aviv since the 19th century (see Sarona). The pinnacle of their success was rising export of oranges to different countries of the world.

A clean tourist attraction, which is clear even by reading its description: it has a picturesque view of the city, port and sea. Heritage sites, Ramses and Abraham Gates. Make a wish on the Wishing bridge and find your zodiac sign. It is definitely worth visiting, though. It’s a very beautiful place, indeed.

The fountain in the form of a laughing whale will cool you off during a boiling-hot day in Tel Aviv. By the way, it was created by Ilana Goor, whose museum is located nearby. We have an extraordinary task dedicated to the museum. What is more, rumor has it that this is the same whale that swallowed the Jonah from the Bible. Jonah is said to have gone down to the port of Jaffa, where he goes aboard to flee from the Lord and not to carry out the Lord’s errand. However, a violent storm breaks on the sea. Jonah confesses that his disobedience is at fault and asks the crew to cast him in the sea. The whale swallows Jonah. So the prophet spends three days travelling in his belly and praying devoutly. After all, the whale lets Jonah out and the man does what the Lord commanded. The city of Nineveh is finally saved because all of its people repent.

Do not even think about ignoring the cherry on the cake of Jaffa, the largest steel spoon in the world. It can even inspire you to complete one more task.
