Tel Aviv Overview

The second largest city in Israel, second only to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv is a bustling metropolis that has given rise to a new way of life for many Israelites, a modern city in a land where the history stretches back to the dawn of civilization. While Jerusalem might be only a short distance down the road, filled to the brim with holy sites and religious wonders, and the surrounding countryside might be packed with thousands of years of history, Tel Aviv is anything but reserved and historical. This is the throbbing heart of modern Israel, a city that the citizens have termed their own version ofread more New York. If partying on the coast of the Mediterranean with some of the hottest people in the country is more to your liking, then Tel Aviv is absolutely the place you want to be.

Technically, Tel Aviv is still relatively small when compared to some of the world’s largest cities, but that doesn’t stop her from pulling out all the stops for residents and visitors. This is a place where the modern vibe is strongest, giving rise to what is now considered the Middle East’s second largest city economy. It has transformed in the past decade into a haven for international travelers who are keen on enjoying a party atmosphere while taking in the Mediterranean, far removed from the more intimate havens that exist along the coast in other countries such as Spain or Italy.

Tel Aviv is a beach destination, of that there is no doubt, but the city is also a major cultural center for Israel, with some of the best performing arts venues in the country. Beyond the clubs, the shows, the beaches and the resorts are the markets, giving visitors an excellent opportunity for taking in some true Middle Eastern sounds and tastes. All in all, Tel Aviv is one of the brightest spots in the Middle East right now, and is accessible to all levels of travelers.
