Established as a settlement in 1909, Tel Aviv is now a bustling city of two million, a vibrant center of entertainment, culture and big business. It is also blessed with one of the world's most impressive beaches.
Tel Aviv stretches along the Mediterranean, and locals and visitors alike enjoy evening strolls on the promenade which stretches for 2 miles along the curving coastline.
By virtue of its location on the Mediterranean shore and the modern, secular concepts on which it was founded, Tel Aviv-Jaffa has a multitude of facets. The city is simultaneously Israel's commercial center and largest resort; its cultural capital and the arbiter of all that's hot or not. It's vibrant and brash. Cosmopolitan but personal. Casual - yet never fully at rest.
