Tel Aviv Yafo
Tel Aviv Yafo is the second largest city in Israel , with an estimated population of 391,300. The city is situated on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline, with a land area of 51.8 square km (20.0 sq mi). It is the largest and most populous city in the metropolitan area of Gush Dan, home to 3.15 million people as of 2008. The city is governed by the Tel Aviv Yafo municipality, headed by Ron Huldai.
Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 on the outskirts of the ancient port city of Jaffa. Tel Aviv and Jaffa were merged into a single municipality in 1950, two years after the establishment of the State of Israel.
Its beaches, bars, cafe's, restaurants, upscale shopping, great weather and cosmopolitan lifestyle have led to it being a popular tourist destination, and given way to its reputation as a "Mediterranean metropolis that never sleeps".

Old Tel Aviv Port
On the northern Tel Aviv coast, by the estuary of the Yarkon River with the Mediterranean, lays the old port of Tel Aviv. This premise, inactive as a sea port today, is one of the liveliest quarters of Tel Aviv as far as nightlife and daytime hangout resort.
The Tel Aviv sea port was built in the years 1936-1938, during the time of the British mandate over Palestine. It was one of the results of the Arab riots of 1936 and subsequent paralyzing of the Arab-controlled Jaffa port, which was until then the main and only gateway for import and export serving the center of Israel . In times of minimum to no air traffic, and rough land transportation, it was a vital supply channel to the Hebrew "ishuv" (colony) of that time. Necessary cement for construction was brought in, as well as other products. The first Bag of cement that has arrived in May 1936 is still presented at the Tel Aviv museum today.
In 1948, with the formal establishment of the state of Israel , the first ship carrying immigrants to Israel has landed in the Tel Aviv port under the Israeli flag. In 1965, with the opening of the Ashdod sea port, 40 km south of Tel Aviv, the Tel Aviv port was shut down as an active sea port. It sunk in oblivion for the next 20 years, only to be wakened once again in the 80's, this time as a recreation, nightlife, water sports center, and a center for great shops featuring the work of Israeli designers. A bridge across the Yarkon River connects the port to the historic old Reading power station, whose cavernous interior now serves as an exciting venue for post-Modern design and art exhibitions. Near the bridge is a foot and bicycle path called the Yarkon Promenade that heads east along the banks of the river into the Yarkon National Park – 875 acres of greenery, water, playing fields and leisure activities for the whole family. The huge wooden deck covering 14,000 sq. meters is the largest of its kind in Israel, designed in a unique wave-like shape inspired by the sand dunes of the early days of Tel Aviv, he first Hebrew city.
