Overview
How did an ambitious idea on the sand become a city known around the world?
Join me, Maria, a licensed Israeli tour guide, for a private walking tour beside the Yarkon River and Tel Aviv Port. Discover the dreamers, daring decisions and surprising events that helped build a city and shape a country.
Think of Tel Aviv as Israel’s most successful startup. Through six connected stories, we explore sport, Mediterranean trade, the birth of the port, electricity and the improvised beginnings of Israel’s Air Force.
Historical photographs, music and storytelling bring these stories to life. Meet the people behind the familiar names, including Meir Dizengoff, Yosef Yekutieli and Pinhas Rutenberg, and discover how their ambitious ideas became national institutions.
Every guest receives a First Maccabiah Participant Card as a souvenir. We can also pause at Shuk HaNamal for food and drinks, purchased separately.
Enjoy 2.5 hours of discovery by the river and sea.

Return details
-
Yarkon River and Park HayarkonWe begin by the Yarkon River, where a Philistine port town stood in the age of Goliath. A century ago this was all sand dunes, vineyards and camel caravans. Then in 1909 a few families drew lots with seashells and started a new city. I'll tell you who dreamed it, and how.
-
Old Tel Aviv Port AreaA stadium once stood right here on the sand, built in six weeks for the first Maccabiah, the "Jewish Olympics," in 1932. A small town with no sports equipment welcomed athletes from all over the world. I'll tell you how they pulled it off, and why the British feared the next games.
-
Old Tel Aviv Port AreaHere stood the Levant Fair, which put this young town on the world map under the sign of the Flying Camel. You will hear about free Belgian chocolates, a friendly letter from the President of Lebanon, and a famous conductor who came here to stand up to the Nazis.
-
Yarkon River and Park HayarkonThe quiet brick hall by the river hides one of the most unbelievable lives of the last century. A revolutionary, a rescuer, a judge, a prisoner and a builder: the same man was all of them. How did he end up by the Yarkon? I'll tell you.
-
Tel AvivThis is where Israel's air force was born. It began with 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.
