HISTORICAL SITES IN ISRAEL
The History of Tel Aviv … One hundred years ago Tel Aviv was a sand dune. In 1910 a new city was founded next to the old city of Jaffa, the port used by King Solomon to bring in the cedars of Lebanon to Israel for the construction of the first Temple. Tel Aviv was the first all Jewish city in the world when it was founded.
Tel Aviv, the “New York of Israel” has the highest standard of living in Israel and is the commercial, industrial and financial center of the country.
