This is mostly a residential area that doesn't usually get many tourists, although travelers wanting to step away from the beaten path and see authentic urban life in Israel could find it very interesting.

This is a big industrial and commercial center, home to many high-tech companies, decent beaches, good restaurants and lively night clubs, and most tourists to the city find themselves in this area. the main road is named Ben Gurion (בן גוריון).
