Tel Aviv (TLV for the locals) has no parallel in the whole Middle East, except the weather. Open-minded, cosmopolitan, gay-friendly, vibrant nightlife. Where else in the Middle East do you find this combination? In terms of mindset and lifestyle, Tel Aviv is much closer to Barcelona, Berlin, Miami than to Cairo, Beirut, or Dubai.
A modern city mixed with history and traditions brought from all the corners of the world, being at Old Jaffa, at Neve Tzedek, and at Carmel Market. And beaches for all the tastes along the Mediterranean coast. Tel Aviv is also a perfect destination for travelers who love tech and startups, events happen on daily basis.
For travelers who love art galleries and museums, remember that this city has lots of museums and galleries in addition to its Bauhaus heritage. On the posts below, I indicate everything you need to know for your trip to TLV for different lengths of stay and highlight the main museums and art galleries to visit.
Tel Aviv in 1 day – Tel Aviv in 2 days – Tel Aviv in 3 days
And Tel Aviv Pride usually happens at the beginning of June, it’s an event open for everyone. Israel is the only country in the Middle East where homosexuality is not illegal, and Israelis are very open-minded, especially in Tel Aviv.
For sure, Tel Aviv will surprise you for its dynamism, diversity, and impatient spirit, an innovative attitude that is perfectly translated by the Hebrew term “chutzpah“, which means something like daring, courageous, no need to be polite.
