General and Geography
Table of Contents
Tel Aviv is a metropolis on the Mediterranean coast of Israel, which, as a cosmopolitan and very modern metropolis, occupies a special position in many respects.
The city has its origins in the southern port city of Jaffa (Yaffa), and since 1950 both parts of the city have been combined as Tel Aviv-Jaffa. While Tel Aviv itself is Jewish, the old town of Jaffa has many Arab roots and oriental influences.
Despite the generally rather fragile situation in Israel, Tel Aviv is more than ever a figurehead for joie de vivre, lightness and a touch of hip carefreeness. The popular city beach with its magnificent promenade is as much a magnet for locals and tourists from all over the world as the many stylish bars of Tel Aviv.
Moreover, the historic capital Jerusalem is only about 31 miles away and, together with the Dead Sea, offers an ideal combination opportunity in the country.
With Ben Gurion Airport in Lod, Israel’s largest airport is just a few minutes drive from the city.
Climate in Tel Aviv-Jaffa
Tel Aviv has a Mediterranean climate with very long, hot summer months and a short but quite humid winter. Spring and autumn in Tel Aviv are pleasantly mild and mostly sunny. Most rain falls between mid-November and mid-March.
Already in February the average day temperature often breaks the 20 °C mark, the Mediterranean Sea on the coast of Tel Aviv is usually perfect for swimming from the end of April. Especially between May and September there is extreme drought with usually zero rainfall.
The hottest month in Tel Aviv is August with an average daytime temperature of 31.7 °C (20 °C at night), the coolest months are January and February with daytime temperatures of 18 °C to 19 °C and night temperatures of about 7 °C on average.

When is the best time to travel to Tel Aviv?
The months of June to September often bring great heat to Tel Aviv and are therefore only recommended to a limited extent for cultural trips through Israel. With the refreshment offered by the Mediterranean the summer is nevertheless perfectly suitable for a relaxed bathing holiday.
The best time to travel in Tel Aviv is the whole period from spring to autumn, although even during the wet (but mild) winter with few restrictions the region is well suited for a trip. Our favourite months are the fringe months of May and October.

Tel Aviv-Jaffa is not a classical metropolis with hundreds of sights, but the city itself is its biggest attraction. Of course, it is a must to experience the joie de vivre on Tel Aviv’s beautiful beach. The area not far from the Hilton Hotel is ideal.
Already in the afternoon the many street cafés of the city fill up with a young, cosmopolitan audience. The “White City”, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003, is rather historic. The more than 4000 Bauhaus-style buildings are the lifework of a large number of highly gifted Jewish architects who fled Germany from National Socialism.
The old town of Jaffa with its small winding alleyways is also a must, here lure beside small studios and interesting shops for example the old church Saint Peter as well as the Al-Bahr mosque. Other attractions in Jaffa include the Clock Tower, Jaffa Light Lighthouse and Al-Saraya al-‘Atika Palace.

Tel Aviv: Experiences of our Visitors
Dear Tel Aviv….. Climate water the people were simply great!
Felt like I’d been here before…..
From today on 3-4 days would have been good for me now after 5 days I am fully in flow…….more than only 1 journey worth…
I ll come back??????????????????????????
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
In March we had during the day between 22 and 34 degrees. Most of it was in the mid-20s. Absolutely warm enough for the beach and if you are not so sensitive to cold, swimming in the sea is also possible
At night it took some getting used to and was fresh before the change to summertime- when the evening coolness came around 4.30 pm and the sun slowly disappeared.
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
During the day pleasant T-shirt weather around 20 degrees. Also at night one could sit outside – with jacket and/or sweater. Only on the day of departure there were several showers.
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
We had the best traveling wife. In the morning cooler”at noon great sun weather. Bathing was quite possible.
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
Great travel weather, a little too fresh in the evening. During the day up to 25 degrees, more is hard to bear in Jerusalem’s old town
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
Was there at the end of March – perfect not too hot not too cold.
At night a long-sleeved sweater is enough. Great country anytime, great food and great people.
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
the weather during my stay in Tel Aviv was really wonderful. I want to give the weather an A with a star! We could go to the sea every day and enjoy the sun in the small streets!
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
All around 1A top weather in June, at night it was mild 19 degrees (ideal for sitting outside) and during the day sunny at 30 degrees and more. Zero clouds, zero rain. Inspiring destination, I hope that peace will quickly return to Israel!
