This neighborhood has a distinctly Middle Eastern charm. Named for the local population of largely Yemenite residents who have lived here for decades, this is a more authentic, budget-friendly part of the city close to almost everything. The beach is a brief walk away, as are many of the city’s most famous tourist attractions, including the Carmel Market, Shalom Tower, Neve Tsedek, the Old Railway Station (recently renovated and full of upscale shops, bars and restaurants), and the Jaffa flea market. It’s easy to navigate from here to anywhere else in Tel Aviv, and this area now offers some spectacular housing options. It’s a great choice for couples and solo travelers looking for an authentic, unique Tel Aviv experience. Thanks to its small maze of pedestrian streets, it’s also free of traffic, and a great place to explore on foot and discover hidden gems. Keep an eye out for the area’s many terrific Yemenite restaurants, where you can taste unusual specialties without breaking your bank and hear stories about Israel’s history from people who remember it as though it were yesterday.
