One of the oldest known harbours in the world, the port of Jaffa was mentioned in the Bible and was once the disembarkation point for pilgrims to the Holy Land. These days it's predominantly an entertainment facility incorporating a boardwalk and warehouses hosting bars, restaurants, shops and the not-for-profit Nalaga'at Centre, home to a deaf-blind theatre company, a cafe employing deaf waiters and a 'black out' restaurant with a staff of blind waiters.
The port is busiest on summer evenings, when free entertainment is sometimes staged and the boardwalk restaurants are packed with local diners.
