Jaffa, a thousand-year-old city set on Israel's Mediterranean coast, is Tel Aviv's oldest harbor and a gem where history meets modernity. Legend has it that it was built by Noah's son, Japheth, more than 4,000 years ago, and the Old Town's stone paths, winding alleys and Ottoman-era buildings tell of past glories in every brick and tile. As a multicultural melting pot, it was once cohabited by Jews, Arabs and Christians, and religious buildings such as St. Peter's Church and the Jaffa Clock Tower bear witness to the inclusive symbiosis. Nowadays, Jaffa is home to artists, galleries and handicraft stores, the seafood market is filled with the aroma of grilled fish, and the sunsets on the cliffs are even more famous, framing the Mediterranean waves and the silhouettes of the old city for eternity. From an ancient port to a literary landmark, Jaffa attracts visitors from all over the world with its unique charms, making it a must-see humanistic landmark in Israel.
Located in the Marrakech-Safi region of southern Morocco, at the foot of the majestic Atlas Mountains, Ait Bahya is one of the traditional Berber villages. It is famous for its well-preserved adobe complexes, unique kasbahs (fortress-like dwellings) and winding stone alleyways, which perfectly demonstrate the wisdom of the Berbers to live in harmony with nature. The village is surrounded by terraced fields planted with olives, apricots and other crops, and the scenery varies throughout the seasons, making it an ideal place to experience Moroccan countryside life. Although not as well known as the neighboring ancient town of Ait Benhaddou, Ait Baha retains a more primitive atmosphere of life, where visitors can taste the traditional Berber cuisine, listen to ancient songs, and feel the deep heritage of North African culture.
