Ashdod

      Ashdod, The Golden Beaches of Israel

Ashdod, which started out as a modest immigrant town, has grown and thrived to become the fifth largest city in Israel. The wide multi-lane streets and thoroughfares crossing the city are adorned with lovely promenades and bicycle tails. Green boulevards of palms and other ornamental trees join 3500 dunams of public parks and gardens. Community centers and sports facilities offer thousands of extracurricular courses and sporting activities throughout the year. The malls and commercial centers, as well as the city's quarters and neighborhoods, feature a wide array of restaurants, coffee shops, bars and pubs that offer a brief pause for anyone interested in combining shopping and entertainment.
