The Rare Remarkability of Old Jaffa

Old Jaffa is a very old port town situated in the south of Tel Aviv. It is believed that this town was built by the son of Noah (Japheth) after the great flood. Thus, this town is considered one of the oldest inhabited towns on the planet.

With the more than 3,000 years old history of this town, there is so much to see, hear, feel and smell in Old Jaffa. This place is actually my most photographed place in my recent trip to Israel with my sister. That is why this old town would definitely be one place in Israel that I will be back in case I will again be blessed to visit Israel.

Walking through the narrow streets and alleyways of Old Jaffa, it is very evident that the place is now a haven for artists and craftsmen. The artistry of the people who presently inhabits the place are truly mind-blowing!

With the rich and remarkable history of Old Jaffa, there is indeed so much to write about this ancient place. Yet, I could not seem to focus on what to say and write about this beautiful town. I guess I was too mesmerized by the special remarkability, rich exceptionality and the rareness of the magic of Old Jaffa.
