Middle East | Israel | Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv began in 1909 as a new neighborhood beside the ancient port of Jaffa. The city is now home to the largest cluster of Bauhaus-style buildings in the world which earned UNESCO recognition for its early 20th-century urban planning. Visitors can explore those structures on guided architectural walks through streets like Rothschild or Dizengoff.
Walking through Jaffa offers a clear sense of the city's layered past. In narrow stone alleys, tavelers can browse antique crafts at the Flea Market, step into historic art studios, or sip coffee at quiet cafes that face the old harbor. Nearby, the Sarona Market features around 90 food stalls and shops inside a restored Templer compound.

The Dead Sea lies at the lowest point on Earth, around 430 meters below sea level, and features water with nearly ten times the salinity of the ocean. That level of salinity makes floating on its surface effortless. Visitors can lie back without effort, with views opening across barren hills and reflective water. This shoreline also hosts a mix of minerals collected over millennia and known for their soothing effect on skin and joints.
