Jaffa Holidays

Immerse yourself in one of the world's most ancient ports and walk through history from Biblical times, Egyptian conquerors and Roman rulers on a Jaffa holiday. Offering the perfect blend of old and new, Jaffa holidays give you a vibrant taste of the area's history. The central square is named after the Habima Theatre, which was built in 1912 and has since become one of Israel's most important cultural institutions. The square itself is a popular place for street artists and buskers - as well as people who enjoy hanging out in the sun and eating ice cream. Learn about Jaffa's extraordinary history with a local guide before enjoying a haggle in the flea market - a collection of stalls and shops selling everything from clothes to homemade delicacies. You can easily get lost for hours here, wandering through the maze of stalls and tasting and buying authentic Middle Eastern treats, from fresh figs and dates to olives and spices. Then head for the bustling port and board a boat for a relaxing cruise around the beautiful harbour. The busy port of Jaffa is home to some of Israel's most colourful fishing boats and offers fantastic views of surrounding Tel Aviv.
