We start at the Clock Tower, built for the jubilee of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and enter the lanes of Old Jaffa. We climb Jaffa Hill, where Egyptian-era remains were found, with a view along the whole Tel Aviv shoreline.

We go down to the port, from which Jonah sailed according to the Bible and through which the cedars of Lebanon came for the Temple, and hear about Andromeda, Napoleon and the immigrants who landed here. We finish at the flea market among antique shops and cafés.
