Petach Tikva
Petach Tikva, located only seven miles east of Tel Aviv was founded in the 1870’s by religious Jews from Jerusalem who decided to become farmers and establish a village which they called “Gateway of Hope” or Petach Tikva in Hebrew. After battling malaria and swamps and with the help of Baron De Rothschild the village grew amid the groves of citrus trees and became a regional market for other local farming villages. Today Petach Tikva is one of the largest industrial areas in Israel but hasn’t lost its agricultural flavor and boasts a colorful farmer’s market with every imaginable type of fruits and vegetables, much of which is locally grown. The city is dotted with parks and green spaces, trees and flowers and even a new zoo!
