Large city and financial centre of Israel; located in western Israel on the Mediterranean. A relatively new city, packed with entertainment and modern amenities, Tel-Aviv may seem incongruous as Israels political and business centre. Nearby Jaffa, which has always offered an impressive range of historic sites, is now a part of the Big Orange. Tel Aviv has a flourishing arts scene, plenty of modern shops, upscale high-rises and renewed beaches for sun-worshippers. Tel Aviv is home to many good museums such as the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, which contains works from the 16th century to the present; the Eretz Israel Museum Complex; and the Diaspora Museum, which highlights the history of Jewish culture from around the world.
