The Dreamers Who Built Tel Aviv and Israel: Sport, Music, Commerce and the Air Force
A private history walk along the Yarkon River and the Tel Aviv Port.
Tel Aviv is Israel's most successful startup, and on this walk you meet the people with impossible dreams who built it. You will discover:
- A Philistine port town from the age of Goliath
- A city founded by Akiva Aryeh Weiss and sixty six families drawing numbered seashells on the sand dunes
- Meir Dizengoff, who founded the city's police force and was fined by it twice in one summer
- The same mayor who ran the city like a startup and signed its first influencers with a house, a job and a street named after them
- A stadium that rose out of the sand in six weeks for Yosef Yekutieli's first “Jewish Olympics”
- The Flying Camel, and a concert that rescued an orchestra from Nazi Europe
- Pinhas Rutenberg: a revolutionary, a diplomat and a prisoner who became the builder of a nation's power
- Smuggled fighter planes that saved a newborn state
The songs of the period play where the story happened. Every guest takes home a First Maccabiah Participant Card. We can optionally stop for a bite at Shuk HaNamal.
The tour lasts 2 to 3 hours and is available in English or Hebrew for private groups and small groups.
