Herzliya
Herzliya straddles the Mediterranean shoreline in Israel’s Tel Aviv District, and that setting has made the coast central to its identity and leisure life. Founded in 1924 and named for Zionist leader Theodor Herzl, the city grew north of Tel Aviv on the Sharon Plain. Its long sandy seafront meets the eastern Mediterranean, while Herzliya Pituah, the affluent coastal neighbourhood, is known for villas, hotels and a marina. Inland, Herzliya is also a major Israeli technology and business centre, giving this seaside city a distinctly metropolitan role. Beaches, sailing and watersports are integral to its public character.

Herzliya combines a Mediterranean beachfront with a major business and technology district in a way that reflects its position on Israel’s central coast. The city faces the Mediterranean Sea, with beaches along its western edge and Herzliya Marina serving as a focal point for sailing, waterfront hotels and restaurants. Founded in 1924 and named for Zionist leader Theodor Herzl, Herzliya grew from an agricultural settlement into an important part of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. North of the marina, Apollonia National Park preserves remains of the ancient coastal settlement of Arsuf and a Crusader fortress.

Among the countries of the eastern Mediterranean, Israel stands out for its compact geography, where a Mediterranean coast, the Jordan Valley and the Negev Desert lie within a relatively small area. Jerusalem’s Old City contains places sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, including the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. To the north, the Sea of Galilee is a freshwater lake associated with Christian tradition; southward, the Dead Sea marks the country’s lowest-lying region. Tel Aviv brings a contrasting modern urban pace, with its UNESCO-listed White City ensemble of early modernist architecture. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Israel.
