The Sad Story of the American Colony and Jaffa
Joined 2022
This is a walking tour of one the unknown neighborhoods of Jaffa. A place which Mark Twain wrote about after his visit in 1866. A place where Americans lived in prefab houses they imported from Maine, where German Templers lived, missionaries thrived and Nazi flags flew.
We will also visit the Old Jaffa Port, alleys and artisans, Jaffa Flea Market
