Neighborhoods
This is Ajami, our neighborhood, the south-est in the Tel Aviv area. Most people don't know this, but it used to be a ghetto after 1948, you can read about this here: https://zochrot.org/en/booklet/49854
Today, it's undergoing quick development and has transformed into a high-end neighbourhood. It is simply a magical place.

This is the beach down the street. It's quiet and perfect. There's a lifeguard all year but if you go more south you can enjoy more privacy. Please be careful - this part of the Mediterranean is treacherous and if there are red or black flags on the shore you should not enter the sea.
