The oldest neighbourhood of Tel Aviv, Neze Tzedek has a charm all of its own and is probably the most attractive area to explore for visitors.
Back in times when muslims and jews had less trouble living together, in the 1880s some jewish families decided to establish a new neighbourhood outside the ancient port of Jaffa. They took to the sanddunes north of the town and settled there. They called the new neighbourhood Neve Tzedek, or Valley of Justice. Others soon followed suit, writers and artists flocked to the area. Later, in the early 20th century, a new city developed north of Neve Tzedek: Tel Aviv. While Tel Aviv developed rapidly and modernized, Neve Tzedek had a period of neglect and was actually marked to be demolished in the 1960s.
