At the end of the day, we toured the old city of Jaffa, which is just below Tel Aviv. It was the ancient port where King Solomon imported cedar trees from Lebanon. We saw the home of Simon the Tanner where Peter stayed when he visited Jaffa. The city has been occupied by Egypt, Rome, and Napoleon. We saw a statue of the Whale of Jonah since he started his voyage from Jaffa.

There is also a monument of the gate to enter Jaffa since the original one is gone. We ended our day back in Tel Aviv.
