A youthful, modern metropolis with a diverse population, Tel Aviv dates back only to 1909. Clubs, bars, a thriving arts community, gay life and beaches attract artists, musicians and young professionals to Tel Aviv's more secular scene. Its UNESCO-designated Bauhaus architecture has won the city the moniker "The White City." Walk, drive or catch cabs between the cultural exhibition pavilions of Haaretz Museum, historic Independence Hall Museum, bustling Carmel Market and Old Jaffa's boardwalk.

A very worthwhile tour to do if staying in Tel Aviv. It takes just over half an hour, on a very funky double decker train, to get from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and then a couple of minutes walk to meet your Guide. Our Guide, Baruch, was great and was only too happy to make sure we got the most from our tour and that we enjoyed it despite the dismal weather we had (drizzly rain and temperature of 3c). Would definitely recommend, even for the non-religious (like myself).
