Jaffa, also called Japho or Joppa in English, is an ancient Levantine port city now part of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, located in its southern part. The city sits atop a naturally elevated outcrop on the Mediterranean coastline. Excavations at Jaffa indicate that the city was settled as early as the Early Bronze Age.
Up-and-coming Ajami is defined by its seaside location, with swimming beaches and a waterfront promenade leading to old-world Jaffa Port. The hilly, landscaped grounds and views of the Mediterranean Sea make Midron Yaffo Park a popular picnic spot. Convivial restaurants serving grilled seafood and hearty Middle Eastern eats line Kedem Street, plus the area also has several small restaurants known for their hummus.
Lod, also known as Lydda, is a city 15 km southeast of Tel Aviv and 40 km northwest of Jerusalem in the Central District of Israel. It is situated between the lower Shephelah on the east and the coastal plain on the west. The city had a population of 85,351 in 2019.
