Situated on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline, Tel Aviv is the largest and most populous city in Israel's largest metropolitan area, home to 3.15 million people.  Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 near the ancient port city of Jaffa. Tel Aviv soon outgrew the largely-Arab Jaffa, and Tel Aviv and Jaffa were merged into a single municipality after the establishment of the State of Israel.

Tel Aviv is Israel's economic hub and cultural capital with beaches, cafés, shopping, active performing arts and a secular lifestyle. It is also the most expensive city in the Middle East.

Tel Aviv’s White City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, comprises the world's largest concentration  – some 4,000 – of Bauhaus and International-style buildings. Built in the 1920s by German Jewish architects escaping the Nazis, the buildings’ architectural details were modified to suit the Mediterranean desert climate.

Jaffa is purported to be the oldest port in the world. Old Jaffa’s cobblestone paths, winding alleys and massive stone fortifications were renovated about 30 years ago, and transformed from a slum into “artists quarters” that few artists can afford. Nevertheless, visitors can enjoy some of the area's best seafood restaurants and nightclubs, as well as art galleries, quality craft shops and cafés.
