🍊 how to find the Suspended Orange Tree in Old Jaffa
after exploring projects by local Israeli artisans — from kaleidoscopes to ceramics, jewelry, and more — it’s time to make your way up the steps to the suspended orange tree
you’re now on Sagittarius Street. Did you know that all the streets in Old Jaffa are named after the zodiac signs? Try to find yours.
on your right, you’ll see the House of Simon the Tanner — traditionally associated with Saint Peter. According to Christian tradition, this is where Peter stayed and had a vision that symbolized openness between peoples — a moment often seen as a turning point in early Christianity
turn left and continue up a few more steps. On your left will remain Kikar Kdumim — one of the central squares of Old Jaffa. From here, it’s also the easiest way to reach the Zodiac Bridge and a scenic viewpoint overlooking all of Tel Aviv
cross Louis Pasteur Street and enter Pisces Street. On your way, we suggest stopping by the Ilana Goor Museum — a unique space created by Israeli artist Ilana Goor, blending sculpture, design, and architecture in a former 18th-century building overlooking the sea
look around you — Jaffa is a magical place, and everyone finds something different here
continue to Leo Street and turn left. Here you’ll find one of the coziest studios of our friends, where handmade soaps are crafted with care and a touch of magic
and now, you’re almost there
the famous suspended orange tree. Created by artist Ran Morin, this installation — known as the The Suspended Orange Tree — symbolizes the delicate balance between roots and displacement. The orange tree, once a powerful symbol of Jaffa’s prosperity, now floats in mid-air — held between past and present, land and sky
and when you’re done — don’t rush away. Keep wandering, keep looking up and around. Jaffa always has one more story waiting for you
