Tel Aviv Port

The Tel Aviv Port is distinguished by a wide, undulating wooden boardwalk that mimics the motion of the Mediterranean waves. Located at the northern end of the city’s coastline near the Yarkon River, this area began as a rapid, improvised response to the nineteen thirties Arab Revolt. When strikes closed the nearby port of Jaffa, Jewish leaders moved to secure an independent harbor to maintain citrus exports and immigrant arrivals. Construction finished in nineteen thirty-eight, and the site became a symbol of economic self-reliance.
