Jaffa, formerly known as Joppa in biblical times, stands as one of the ancient world’s oldest port cities, steeped in historical significance. It served as the departure point for Jonah’s legendary voyage and welcomed pilgrims journeying to the Holy Land for centuries. Myth holds that Jaffa derived its name from Noah’s son Japheth or from the Canaanite term “Yafi,” meaning beautiful.
Throughout history, Jaffa witnessed 22 conquests by various powers, from the Egyptians and Babylonians to the Ottomans and British, with significant roles in supplying timber for Solomon’s Temple and its reconstruction after destruction by Nebuchadnezzar.
