Whether you need inspiration for your trip or practical travel advice, DiscoverTelAviv.com has everything you need to plan your perfect holiday to Tel Aviv, Israel. Tel Aviv-Yafo, more commonly Tel Aviv, is the second most populous city in Israel. The City of Tel Aviv was originally founded in 1909 by Jewish immigrants as an alternative to expensive housing in the neighbouring historic port city of Jaffa. Tel Aviv's extensive growth eventually overtook its Arab-majority neighbour, and the two towns were united into the municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo in 1950, two years after the establishment of the State of Israel.
