Known as "The City that Never Sleeps" and a "party capital", it has a lively nightlife, dynamic atmosphere and a famous hour culture. More information is available on Wikipedia. Today we feature the city of Tel Aviv, located on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline, in central Israel, the historic land bridge between Europe, Asia and Africa. Immediately north of the ancient port of Jaffa, Tel Aviv lies on land that used to be sand dunes and as such has relatively poor soil fertility.
The land has been flattened and has no important gradients; its most notable geographical features are bluffs above the Mediterranean coastline and the Yarkon River mouth.
Because of the expansion of Tel Aviv and the Gush Dan region, absolute borders between Tel Aviv and Jaffa and between the city's neighborhoods do not exist. The city is located 60 kilometres northwest of Jerusalem and 90 kilometres south of the city of Haifa. As of now, embassies in Israel are based in the commercial capital, Tel Aviv, although some countries have based their consulate offices in Jerusalem.
They also carry temporary Jordanian passports without a national identification number. This means that they are not full Jordanian citizens — they need a work permit to work in Jordan and do not have access to governmental services and benefits such as reduced education fees. Palestinian Jerusalemites are essentially stateless, stuck in legal limbo — they are not citizens of Israel, nor are they citizens of Jordan or Palestine.
Israel treats Palestinians in East Jerusalem as foreign immigrants who live there as a favour granted to them by the state and not by right, despite having been born there. They are required to fulfil a certain set of requirements to maintain their residency status and live in constant fear of having their residency revoked. Any Palestinian who has lived outside the boundaries of Jerusalem for a certain period of time, whether in a foreign country or even in the West Bank , is at risk of losing their right to live there.
They must submit dozens of documents including title deeds, rent contracts and salary slips. Obtaining citizenship from another country also leads to the revocation of their status. The UN has affirmed in several resolutions that the settlement project is in direct contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits an occupying country from transferring its population into the areas it occupies.
During the s,Tel Aviv developed into a hi-tech mecca, bringing with it new skyscrapers. The tallest of these, the Azrieli Center offers an observation gallery with views across this vibrant, modern city. Running the length of the city, from north to south, allots a view of the large hotels which dot the promenade. This is a city for walking or biking, with wide boulevards stretching from north to south, and with bike rentals and scooters to rent on practically every block.
