Located along the Mediterranean sea in the center of Israel with vibrant nightlife, bustling mid-day streets, an amazing culinary scene, and a heterogeneous population from all edges of the earth. Unequivocally, Tel Aviv has it all.
With a population of about 450,000, it is the economic, technology, and cultural center of Israel. What started as a small settlement in 1909 by Eastern European Jews asking to create a clean European-like city, different from other middle eastern towns nearby, has seen immigration during and after both World Wars, governance of different countries, participation in Israel’s War of Independence, growth, urban decline and current rejuvenation.
What does Tel Aviv have in store:
Cultural Center: Tel Aviv is home to eighteen of Israel’s 35 centers of performing arts. It is home to the Israeli Opera, Israel’s Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Bat Sheva Dance Company. Its major theatres are Cameri, Heichal Hatarbut, Suzanne Dallal House, Tzavta, and Tamuna. Major music concerts are produced at the Yarkon Park, Expo Tel Aviv, Zappa Club, and the Barby. Recently it hosted the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest.
