We will check in at the Herods Hotel, conveniently located in the heart of Tel Aviv, on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea.
After dinner, enjoy an optional free escorted night tour to Old Jaffa with your expert tour guide: For those who would like to explore Old Town Jaffa at night, meet with your tour guide after dinner. After a short walk on the famous Tel Aviv sidewalk, we will arrive in Jaffa and walk through the narrow passages of Old Jaffa, believed to be the oldest port city in the world. See the amazing St. Peter Church at night and take in a spectacular view of the Tel Aviv Shoreline from Jaffa’s Hilltop. Peter came to Joppa (modern day Jaffa) from Lydda to raise Tabitha (Dorcas) from the dead (Acts 9:36-42). While in Jaffa, the apostle stayed at the house of Simon the Tanner. The Church of St. Peter marks the traditional site of Peter’s vision of the great sheet.
