Tel Aviv-Jaffa, the must-see destination in Israel

Nicknamed the White City for its architecture, Tel Aviv is also sometimes referred to as "the bubble” in reference to its vibrant atmosphere, thanks to the presence of a strong artistic community, its beaches and the plethora of clubs and bars that give it a distinctly modern feel.

A stay in Tel Aviv is the opportunity to visit the Haaretz Museum or the Museum of History, and to stroll through the Carmel Market, making one’s way to the seafront promenade in the historic district of Jaffa.

Passengers traveling to Tel Aviv cannot use the fast track at security checkpoints.
