Old City may refer to:
Jaffa (Hebrew: יָפוֹ, Yāfō ; Arabic: يَافَا), also called Japho or Joppa, is the southern, oldest part of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, an ancient port city in Israel. Jaffa is famous for its association with the biblical stories of Jonah, Solomon, and Saint Peter as well as the mythological story of Andromeda and Perseus.
The town was mentioned in Egyptian sources and the Amarna letters as Yapu. Mythology says that it is named for Japheth, one of the sons of Noah, the one who built it after the Great Flood. The Hellenist tradition links the name to Iopeia, or Cassiopeia, mother of Andromeda. An outcropping of rocks near the harbor is reputed to have been the place where Andromeda was rescued by Perseus. Pliny the Elder associated the name with Jopa, the daughter of Aeolus, the god of the wind. The Arab geographer Al-Muqaddasi referred to it as Yaffa.
Tel Yafo (Jaffa Hill) rises to a height of 40 meters (130 feet) with a broad view of the coastline. Hence it had a strategic importance in military history. The accumulation of debris and landfill over the centuries made the hill even higher. Archaeological evidence shows that Jaffa was inhabited roughly 7,500 years BCE.
The Old City of Jaffa is an area in Jaffa in Israel. It is located in the southern part of the Tel Aviv – Jaffa municipality.
Jaffa is a walled city; the main entrance is the Jaffa Gate, Bab el-Halil or Hebron Gate, built by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1538.

Tel Aviv-Yafo (Hebrew: תל אביב-יפו pronounced [ˈtel ˈaviv ˈjafo], Arabic: تل أبيب يافا) or Tel Aviv (Hebrew: תל אביב pronounced [ˈtel ˈaviv], Arabic: تل أبيب) is a city in Israel, and the second most populous city administered by that country's government after Jerusalem. Situated on the Mediterranean coastline in central-west Israel, Tel Aviv has a population of 426,138. The greater Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area, also known as Gush Dan, constitutes Israel's largest conurbation with 3,713,200 residents, 42% of the country's population. Tel Aviv is governed by the Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality, headed by Ron Huldai, and is home to many foreign embassies.
Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 by Jewish immigrants on the outskirts of the ancient port city of Jaffa (Hebrew: יפו Yafo). Immigration by mostly Jewish refugees meant that the growth of Tel Aviv soon outpaced Jaffa's, which had a majority Arab population at the time. Tel Aviv and Jaffa were merged into a single municipality in 1950, two years after the establishment of the State of Israel. Tel Aviv's White City, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, comprises the world's largest concentration of Bauhaus buildings.

We continue shooting interesting places in Israel and this time we've flown over one the most attractive sites for tourists, an ancient port city in Israel, the oldest part of Tel Aviv-Yafo, the old city of Jaffa. According to one of the myths the city was named after Noah's son, named Japheth. Some people believe it comes from the Hebrew word "Yofi" - beauty. Jaffa Lighthouse located in the old port is one of the tourist attractions. Visitors can take a pleasant walk around the city, enjoying its narrow alleys named after the signs of the Zodiac. There are art galleries and studios, jewelry shops, cafes and restaurants, museums, mosques and churches.

This Power Point video is one segment of a 15 part series on the physical settings of Jerusalem. I begin at Jaffa Gate and proceed counterclockwise around the ancient city including some of the most significant historical, geographical, archaeological, and spiritually important sites in the old city with an emphasis on the Christian Bible. This is a comparison and contrast presentation utilizing the scale model of the first century city of Jerusalem found at the Holy Land Hotel in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a complex physical site. There are many layers of archaeology, history, religions, peoples and cultures. Even if you have a rich background in biblical knowledge, the separate sites that you visit are difficult to put into context. Most pilgrims take a whirlwind tour or the city leaving...
