Jaffa, Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, Middle East, Asia
Jaffa is a southern, oldest part of Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality (since 1950), an ancient port city in Israel. Jaffa is famous for its association with the biblical stories of Solomon, Jonah and Peter. Jaffa is mentioned four times in the Hebrew Bible, as one of the cities given to the Hebrew Tribe of Dan (Book of Joshua 19:46), as port-of-entry for the cedars of Lebanon for Solomon's Temple (2 Chronicles 2:16), as the place whence the prophet Jonah embarked for Tarshish (Book of Jonah 1:3) and as port-of-entry for the cedars of Lebanon for the Second Temple of Jerusalem (Book of Ezra 3:7). Jaffa is mentioned in the Book of Joshua as the territorial border of the Tribe of Dan, hence the modern term Gush Dan for the center of the coastal plain. Many descendants of Dan lived along the coast and earned their living from shipmaking and sailing. In the Song of Deborah the prophetess asks: דן למה יגור אוניות: Why doth Dan dwell in ships?. After Canaanite and Philistine dominion, King David and his son King Solomon conquered Jaffa and used its port to bring the cedars used in the construction of the First Temple from Tyre. The city remained in Jewish hands even after the split of the Kingdom of Israel. In 701 BCE, in the days of King Hezekiah (חזקיהו), Sennacherib, king of Assyria, invaded the region from Jaffa. After a period of Babylonian occupation, under Persian rule, Jaffa was governed by Phoenicians from Tyre. Alexander the Great's troops were stationed there. It later became a Seleucid Hellenized port until it was taken over by the Maccabean rebels (1 Maccabees x.76, xiv.5) and the refounded Jewish kingdom. During the Roman repression of the Jewish Revolt, Jaffa was captured and burned by Cestius Gallus. The Roman Jewish historian Josephus (Jewish War 2.507--509, 3:414--426) writes that 8,400 inhabitants were massacred. Pirates operating from the rebuilt port incurred the wrath of Vespasian, who razed the city and erected a citadel in its place, installing a Roman garrison there. The New Testament account of St. Peter's resurrection of the widow Tabitha (Dorcas, Gr.) written in Acts 9:36--42 takes place in Jaffa. Acts 10:10--23 relates that while Peter was in Jaffa, he had a vision of a large sheet filled with clean and unclean animals being lowered from heaven, together with a message from the Holy Spirit to accompany several messengers to Cornelius in Caesaria. The boundaries of Tel Aviv and Jaffa became a matter of contention between the Tel Aviv municipality and the Israeli government during 1948. The former wished to incorporate only the northern Jewish suburbs of Jaffa, while the latter wanted a more complete unification. The issue also had international sensitivity, since the main part of Jaffa was in the Arab portion of the United Nations Partition Plan, whereas Tel Aviv was not, and no armistice greements had yet been signed. On 10 December 1948, the government announced the annexation to Tel Aviv of Jaffa's Jewish suburbs, the Arab neighborhood of Abu Kabir, the Arab village of Salama and some of its agricultural land, and the Jewish 'Hatikva' slum. On 25 February 1949, the abandoned Arab village of Sheikh Muanis was also annexed to Tel Aviv. On 18 May 1949, the Arab neighborhood of Manshiya and part of Jaffa's central zone were added, for the first time including land that had been in the Arab portion of the UN partition plan. The government decided on a permanent unification of Tel Aviv and Jaffa on 4 October 1949, but the actual unification was delayed until 24 April 1950 due to concerted opposition from Tel Aviv's mayor Israel Rokach. The name of the unified city was Tel Aviv until 19 August 1950, when it was renamed as Tel Aviv-Yafo in order to preserve the historical name Jaffa. The Clock Square with its distinctive clocktower was built in 1906 in honor of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The Saraya (governor's palace) was built in the 1890s. Andromeda rock is the rock to which beautiful Andromeda was chained in Greek mythology. The Zodiac alleys are a maze of restored alleys leading to the harbor. Jaffa Hill is a center for archaeological finds, including restored Egyptian gates, about 3,500 years old. Jaffa Lighthouse is an inactive lighthouse located in the old port.
Jaffa Port Tel Aviv - Israel from Above 4K (Dji Mavic Air) נמל יפו - תל אביב
Jaffa Port - один из главных портов древнего Израиля и один из древнейших непрерывно населённых городов мира. Именно сюда приходили корабли с паломниками, которые направлялись в Иерусалим. В настоящее время объединена с Тель-Авивом в единый город Тель-Авив — Яффа.
-------------------------------------------
Jaffa and its port have a history spanning over three millennia.[citation needed] The port itself is mentioned in various ancient works, including the Hebrew Bible, such as the book of Jonah, and the works of Josephus describing Jewish history and the First Jewish Revolt against Rome. For over 7,000 years it has been actively used, predating Muslims, Christians, Jews, and even Egyptians.[citation needed] Still functional as a small fishing port, the port is currently a recreational zone featuring restaurants and cafés. A lighthouse, Jaffa Light, is located above the port.

Old Jaffa - Tel Aviv - Yafo (quadcopter)
We continue shooting interesting places in Israel and this time we've flown over one the most attractive sites for tourists, an ancient port city in Israel, the oldest part of Tel Aviv-Yafo, the old city of Jaffa. According to one of the myths the city was named after Noah's son, named Japheth. Some people believe it comes from the Hebrew word Yofi - beauty. Jaffa Lighthouse located in the old port is one of the tourist attractions. Visitors can take a pleasant walk around the city, enjoying its narrow alleys named after the signs of the Zodiac. There are art galleries and studios, jewelry shops, cafes and restaurants, museums, mosques and churches. The church you can see in our film is called St. Peter's Church, a Franciscan Roman-Catholic one, built on the remains of a Crusaders fortress. You can also enjoy the view of Tel Aviv Promenade and modern buildings of Tel Aviv at the background.

A peek through the glass signal housing of the Cape Jaffa Lighthouse as the guide gives it a little spin. This is not a video for those who get motion sickness I suspect. And sorry but I don't have a soundtrack for this.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

Путешествие в Израиль / Тель-Авив / Иерусалим / Яффо. Israel / Tel-Aviv / Jerusalem / Jaffa /
Мое путешествие в Израиль в феврале 2018 года. К сожалению отдыхая, совсем позабыл что нужно снимать по больше видео. В следующем путешествии я обязательно исправлюсь. А так же скоро будет видео о том как попасть в Израиль, только факты. Кстати я из Таджикистана. На данный момент живу в Красноярске. Приятного просмотра!
Jaffa, The Mediterranean Sea's Oldest City-Port
Jaffa is one of the world's oldest Sea-Port and cities, with a harbor that has been in use since the Bronze Age. The city's history is connected to a series of successive conquests that rocked Israel through the millennia. In biblical times, Jaffa was ruled by the Egyptians, the Canaanites, the Philistines and other ancient peoples. The tribal Israelites of the post-Exodus period enjoyed a period of rule that was interrupted by the Assyrians, then the Babylonians and other conquerors. The Romans captured and destroyed Jaffa during Maccabean times, slaughtering thousands as well.
The Many Conquerors
During the Middle Ages, Jaffa came under Arab control and served as a major regional port and provincial capital. The Crusades marked a violent period with fighting between the Christian forces and Saladin who tried to keep the area from falling to Christian rule. When the city came under the control of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century, it was in ruins. Jaffa was slowly restored but local residents left during the 18th century due to pirates who took control of the port. World War One brought British control with the Mandate period that lasted some 28 years, until Israel's independence in 1948. Following Israel's 1948 War of Independence, Jaffa became part of the new State of Israel, and then was folded into the municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
Modern Jaffa
Today's Jaffa is a city with a diverse population of Jews, Muslims and Christians. Currently undergoing a wave of gentrification, Jaffa is a socio-economic mix of young artists, new wealth and older, less affluent inhabitants. Culturally, Jaffa has become a place where creative types of all kinds live, work and set up shop, making its streets a maze of discovery -- with galleries, theaters, restaurants, a flea market and an antique district -- for the curious visitor.
