Travelling approximately 23 kilometers, you’ll glide along the Ayalon Highway, catching glimpses of the urban skyline as it gives way to the Mediterranean. Look out for iconic landmarks such as the modern architecture of the Azrieli Center and the sandy shores of Tel Aviv's beaches, before the ancient port city of Jaffa comes into view, with its charming cobblestone streets and stunning views of the sea.
For a smooth experience, aim to avoid the morning and evening rush hours, particularly on weekdays.
