Old Jaffa is older than Tel Aviv, it already existed back in the days when Tel Aviv was non existent. Its old name was Joppa and is mentioned in the bible. As in Israel it went through the same conquerors, mosques and churches intermingle as also Jews and Arabs that currently live in the city. It still has some of the old building but it is currently experiencing a revival with young people moving in and starting boutiques and coffee shops. It has more atmosphere than Tel Aviv, today it is a suburb of Tel Aviv. A lotos the older buildings dates back to the Ottoman days.
