Depart the hotel and drive/walk along the Tel-Aviv promenade to the historic neighborhood of Tel-Aviv, Neve Tzedek (Oasis of Justice) built in 1909. This is actually Tel Aviv’s first neighborhood. This neighborhood was founded in 1887 by Aharon Shlush, 22 years before Tel Aviv was founded. Later, Neve Tzedek was connected to Achuzat Bayit to form Tel Aviv. Many of the neighborhoods turn-of-the-century houses can still be seen and has retained much of its old charm. The Nobel Prize laureate author and poet Shmuel Yosef Agnon, lived and wrote here, encouraged by his fellow writer and neighbor Haim Brenner. Tour the area and visit the Gutman Museum of Art and Rokach House and art gallery.
Afterwards, walk along the narrow streets lined with old buildings in the Yemenite Quarter, settled by Jewish refugees from Yemen but now much taken up by young arty types, are still imbued with an Oriental, almost Arabic style contrasting with the rest of the city. The large and busy Carmel Market (the city’s main open- air food market) runs alongside the Yemenite Quarter.  
 
Participants will then be free to continue at their leisure via the Carmel Market to Shenkin St.
