Description

Embark on a culinary adventure through Tel Aviv, a must for food enthusiasts, history aficionados, and culture lovers alike! Dive into the heart of the city's renowned outdoor market, where the vibrant sounds, enticing aromas, and kaleidoscope of colors will awaken all your senses. Commence your journey in the pedestrian streets of Nahalat Binyamin, a famed bohemian neighborhood adorned with captivating Bauhaus architecture. Traverse the charming sights and progress to the focal point: Carmel Market, an establishment since 1920 and the city's largest. Here, fresh produce piles high, meats are expertly cut to order, spices overflow from large sacks, and fishmongers present the day's catch. Evolving into a foodie haven, the market boasts artisan food stalls and quaint eateries reflecting the diverse influences of Moroccan, Egyptian, Lebanese, Yemenite, Ethiopian, and Persian kitchens in Israeli cuisine. Guided by our expert, you'll explore the market's culinary gems for hours of delectable indulgence. Sample the renowned local shawarma, featuring succulent layers of marinated meat grilled to perfection. Fall in love with pastries, artisan cheeses, and the most exquisite falafel you've ever savored. Experience surprises with creamy hummus, velvety smooth tahini, and lively, tangy pickled vegetables. Cap off the gastronomic journey with sweet desserts served in perfect portions and a taste of Israeli liquor, from original local beers to the delightful sting of Arak. Carmel Market's diverse food offerings mirror the rich tapestry of ethnic groups that have settled in Israel, each contributing traditional foods. Your knowledgeable guide will introduce you to this cultural mosaic, unveiling the unique stories behind each culinary delight. The tour will meander past Kerem HaTeimanim, another vibrant neighborhood, offering ample photo opportunities and charming restaurants cherished by locals for over a century.
