Jaffa’s Backyard: The Story Behind the Ajami Neighborhood

Have you explored Old Jaffa and its alleyways extensively and feel like seeing something new? Want to leave the comfortable tourist area and glimpse Jaffa’s backyard? You’re invited to a tour with Dudi Bar-Sela in the Ajami neighborhood!

During the tour, we’ll touch on the open wounds Jaffa is dealing with; Jewish-Arab relations; class differences between Christians and Muslims in Jaffa; crime stories and coping with the world of crime in Jaffa; urban renewal and plans for the future; and, of course, the famous Ajami palaces, its small alleyways, and the unique viewpoints found only in Ajami.

Finally, we’ll reach Ajami’s international complex and discover a world that once existed but is no more, including historic international compounds, among them a huge abandoned Egyptian compound.
