Tel Aviv's art scene
In the heart of the Middle East, on the shores of the azure blue sea, lies the city of Tel Aviv - a city where art flows in its veins. Often referred to as the "Miami of the Middle East," this bustling urban enclave is more than just massed beaches and modern skyscrapers. It is about a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and most importantly, artistic expressions. So before we delve into the mesmerizing world of the graffiti tour, it's important to understand the artistic vibe of this vibrant city.

From the moment you start walking in Tel Aviv, you will be exposed to a delightful symphony of colors, sounds and textures. The historic city, whose roots begin at the beginning of the 20th century, experienced architectural brilliance with the rise of the Bauhaus buildings, which gave the city today its nickname "The White City". But it is not only about the buildings that adorn its streets, but about the small details on which stories of creativity and colors hum.
The city of Tel Aviv presents countless open 'galleries', where every corner and turn is free to its visitors a new and delightful canvas.

And what makes Tel Aviv special is the delightful combination of old and new, and of course the cultural wealth in this diverse city. Jewish immigrants from Europe, Russia, North Africa and the Middle East all brought their distinct cultural flavor to the city, and this mosaic of influences is reflected in every area, from the atmosphere, through the cuisine, to the world of art.
With such a rich artistic background, it's no wonder that the streets of Tel Aviv have become a canvas for local and international artists. Graffiti and street art in the city are not only an act of 'rebellion' but an expression of the artistic narrative of the city, a dialogue between the past and the present, tradition alongside modernization.
