Israel is becoming hotter than its weather. With over 3.5 million tourists walking, flying, and driving into Israel last year alone, this small country is showing it can handle the challenge.
Tourism numbers are going up around the world, but Israel is a stand-out in the Middle East tourism arena. With popular television shows like Homeland showcasing Tel Aviv's Middle Eastern feel and European style, it is no wonder more and more visitors are coming to these shores.
But what some don't know is that the Tel Aviv shuk is getting a makeover. Talks have ended and it looks like the plan will be approved, but what will this mean? Shuk HaCarmel, an outdoor market in the heart of Tel Aviv, is a tourist attraction and a vibrant local market. The Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality has in mind to clean up the shuk and modernize it. This new plan includes covering the market and rezoning the area for commerce. More businesses will be brought in, residential buildings built, and a four-level underground parking structure is planned. So if you want to see the old market while it’s still here, now is the time to come!
