DAY 6 : WEDNESDAY 20 JANUARY - TEL AVIV SIGHTS AND MUSEUMS

A last full day in Tel Aviv and time for some architecture and culture. The city was founded in 1909 by affluent inhabitants of Jaffa, developing under the era of British rule in Palestine (1917-48). Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 and developed rapidly under the British Mandate in Palestine. The area of the so-called White City (again, UNESCO Heritage listed) forms its central part.





 

The main Art Gallery 


has a superb collection of Impressionist works, and also an interactive area...



On the way back, we passed Rabin Square, site of political rallies and parades and, on 4 November, assassination of the Prime Minister, after whom it was later named.  The memorial to him stands in the same spot with City Hall is in the background.




and were half-tempted by some sesame halva
