Overview
I will show you my Tel Aviv as Israel's most successful startup: born on bare sand dunes in 1909, turned into a world city within one lifetime. In two hours by the sea, with storytelling and music, I bring its founders to life: Dizengoff, who built a heaven of culture and sport and brought the first Maccabiah here in 1932; Rutenberg, the engineer with five lives who lit up a country; and the pioneers who smuggled an air force into being. Part history, part thriller, told on the very ground where it happened, just as the Maccabiah returns to Israel. Plus each tour participant will get her or his own First Maccabiah Participant Card!

Return details
-
Yarkon River and Park HayarkonWe begin where the Yarkon River meets the sea. A hundred years ago this was all sand dunes, with a river, camels crossing it, and an Arab village nearby. Then in 1909 a small group of families came to the empty dunes and started a new city: Tel Aviv. I'll show you how they did it, and why they left the old port city of Jaffa behind.
-
Old Tel Aviv Port AreaA stadium once stood right here, on the sand — built in a hurry for the very first Maccabiah, the "Jewish Games," in 1932. A small town of 50,000 people welcomed athletes from all over the world. I'll tell you how they pulled it off, and the surprising way they built the running track — just weeks before this year's Maccabiah.
-
Old Tel Aviv Port AreaWe will explore the place of the International First Levant fair that made British Palestine famous all around the world with its citrus produce and the Flying Camel logo. And hear fascinating stories of Belgian chocolates, Lebanese President friendship letter and orchestra saved from Nazis.
-
Old Tel Aviv Port AreaThe large power station at the river mouth still works today. The man who built it had an amazing life before he came here far from the world of electricity. I'll tell you his story, and how one man brought electric power to the whole country.
-
This is where Israel's air force was born. It started with one man who taught Jews to fly, and a small flying company that was more than it looked. In 1948 the new country had almost no planes — so it found three daring ways to get them. I'll tell you how.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
