The three-storied clock tower with its 4 clocks was built in 1906 to mark the 25th anniversary of the reign of the Turkish Sultan Abd al-Hamid the II. Usually the starting point for all tours in Jaffa.

Experience the most vibrant,amazing yet unpredictable strip of land on earth.
ISRAEL-THE LAND OF GOD
"But the land, whither ye go to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys, [and] drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God [are] always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year
(Deuteronomy / Devarim 11:11-12).
Israel-the Jewish Homeland
Jews from 102 nations, speaking over 80 languages returned after 2000 years of exile to form the modern State of Israel !
"That then the LORD thy God will turn thy (Israel) captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. If [any] of thine be driven out unto the outmost [parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers"
(Deuteronomy / Devarim 30:3-5)

Jerusalem - the everlasting city
“If I forget thee, O
Jerusalem in Hebrew means 'the city of peace'. Ironically, the capital city of Israel has been completely destroyed twice; besieged 23 times; attacked an additional 52 times; captured and recaptured 44 times; been the scene of 20 revolts and innumerable riots; had five separate periods of violent terrorist attacks during the past century; had only changed hands peacefully twice; and experienced 118 separate conflicts in the past 4,000 years (Eric H. Cline)!
