But this modern, hectic city also has some hidden historic gems which take us back sometimes even thousands of years.
"Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 as the first modern Hebrew city," tour guide Yonatan Weiss explained, adding that the Mediterranean coastal city is known as the "White City" โ a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Weiss revealed ancient sites in the modern urban center, including at Hayarkon Park, which is the city's Central Park.
The ancient civilizations knew about the river that runs through Hayarkon Park, with testimonies from the Egyptian period to the Roman period, said Weiss.
In the park, there is also a site from the Ottoman period called the Seven Mills.
