The heart of Israel

Most of the chances are that you will arrive to Israel to "David Ben Gurion" Airport in Lod and it will take you about 30 minouts to get to Tel aviv. The time depands on the traffic.
Tel Aviv can be called Israels second caital, most of the economy and entertainment activities of Isael happen here and not in Jerusalem.
Tel avivs populsation is getting close to 500000 and in all the metropolin that include Ramat-Gan, Bnei-Brak, Holon and more it get over 1 milion.
Don expect to find in Tel aviv castels or historical monuments that ages houndreds of years because there are not, instead you can look for a city that devaloped a lot in less then 100 years, started from a little community of of people (artists, intellectuals and more) who designed the attitude of the people here.
The first steps of Tel Aviv were in 1906, when a group of Yaffo jews gathered to built a new modern neighborhood. Akiva Arie Weiss was the leader of the group and he described the new city in the next words:
"As New York is a symbol as the Gate of America we have to improve our town so in the future it will become the New York of Israel"
Today we can easily say that this words are true

A city of fun
