Photographer’s Note

And once again one of my favourite buildings in
Tel-Aviv: the Azrieli center.

***************
Up at the 49th floor of one of the highest buildings in
Israel, the Azrieli Observatory is a spectacular
experience, and one you shouldn't miss on your visit
to Tel-Aviv. 350,000 square meters of modern
businesses and services, and 186 meters high, the
Azrieli Towers are the largest commercial center in
the Middle East.

It consists of three fabulously shaped buildings - a
round building, a triangle building and a square one
(the latter is still under construction). The
observatory is at the top of the round building,
offering great panoramic views of Tel-Aviv, Jaffa, the
surrounding cities and the magnificent Mediterranean.

The marvelous landscape is reflected from 84 large
windows, and a full description of major observed
landmarks is given by a vocal guidance system.

Getting to Azrieli Center is by bus No 63 from
Dizengoff Street area, and the entrance to the
observatory is via the third floor inside Azrieli
mall. Admission is 22NIS paid at the reception desk,
from where you are taken up in a fast-speed elevator,
which feels like being on a plane on takeoff…
