Prima Tel Aviv Hotel - Experiences & Activities

No matter how bold your expectations are, Tel Aviv’s distinct urban energy will surprise you. As Israel’s international metropolis and booming commercial and cultural capital, Tel Aviv hosts a perfect blend of sun and fun with urban charm, innovation and historical intrigue. There is no city in the world that brings together such dichotomies with the fluidity that Tel Aviv has achieved. Tel Aviv is simply the Middle East’s most cutting-edge city.

Your vacation is not complete without experiencing Tel Aviv’s 14 kilometer-stretch of white sandy beachfront. Tel Aviv is aligned along its west coast with over 13 beaches, some of which have received international recognition as the best beaches in the world. Tel Aviv beach life is alive and in motion all year round. You will always find bathers strutting along the shoreline, joggers, runners and bikers getting their daily exercise, kids playing in the sand or jumping waves, backgammon players, teenagers playing music and dancing and the endless beach paddleball players intently smacking their rackets. By the way, beach paddleball, known locally as Matkot, is sometimes called the unofficial national sport of Israel. There is a beach for everyone in Tel Aviv – locals, tourists, surfers, dog lovers, religious observers and the gay community. The boardwalk’s bike paths make for an easy way to get around and enjoy the diversity of the city from Old Jaffa Port in the south to the Tel Aviv Harbor on the north side of the city. If you love water sports, then you will never want to leave Tel Aviv’s beaches -home to surfing, kite surfing, wind surfing and beach volleyball.
