Jaffa- The Bride of the Mediterranean

Jaffa is the oldest city on the Mediterranean Sea.
Jaffa : (Arab. Yaffa, Heb. Yafo, Bible Joppa) lies on the Mediterranean Sea. Founded by the Canaanites in the 18 th century B.C.E., Jaffa has been historically important largely because of its port (which was closed in 1965 to merchant shipping). The small old port is used as a fishing harbor and became an international marina. From archaeological discoveries and ancient documents we learn that Jaffa existed as a port city some 4,000 years ago, serving Egyptian and Phoenician sailors in their sea voyages.
