Tel Aviv is a large city on the western shores of Israel, on the Eastern coast of the Mediterranean. It is located some 60 km northwest of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. Tel Aviv’s location refers to its place in the central-western region of Israel and a part of the Gush Dan metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the country.
Tel Aviv was started in 1909 as a small neighborhood next to Jaffa, an old port city by the sea that is thousands of years old. Today, Tel Aviv and Jaffa have grown together into one big city that mixes new, modern life with old, traditional charm.
Tel Aviv is celebrated for its lively culture, beach culture, high tech industry, and business culture. It has been called the financial and technological hub of Israel, with several multinational companies and startups dominating the market. The city also has multiple embassies and consulates because some countries’ diplomatic missions are located in Tel Aviv, which is why the government moved to Jerusalem.
Tel Aviv has a Mediterranean climate, hot summers, pleasant autumn and spring, and cool winters, with rainy periods from November to March. It is centrally located on the country’s Mediterranean seacoast and serves as home to about 70 percent of the population of Israel, mainly because of its location and sustenance in the founding years. The city has a central bus station which is the second busiest in the country, facilitating travel in and outside the city.
To sum up, Tel Aviv is situated at the heart of Israel’s Mediterranean shore and is the beating heart of trade, culture and creativity in the Middle East.
