And of course, much older Modiina .
The agricultural settlement of Petah Tikva was founded in 1878 by a group of religious Jews from Jerusalem, on a plot of 300 hectares. on the banks of the Yarkon River 13 km. from the sea coast. In 1883, due to the danger of malaria, the settlement was moved slightly further from the shore of the Yarkon. At that time, the settlement had 66 residents and 10 houses.
But things in the settlement were not going well and the administration of Baron E. de Rothschild took over the management and assistance to the settlers. The swamps were drained. One of the ways to drain the swamps was to plant eucalyptus trees, and to this day in the old part of the city there are huge eucalyptus trees that proudly rise above 9-12 storey buildings. Agriculture was established and began to generate income. And the townspeople subsequently built an arch in honor of Baron E. de Rothschild, which is located in the very center of Petah Tikva on Rothschild Street.
Of course, then, surrounded by one- and two-story buildings, the arch looked quite impressive, but now, against the backdrop of a twenty-story building, it doesn’t look very impressive.
The population of Petah Tikva grew steadily: in 1901 - 800 people, in 1913 - 3,000, in 1928 - 6,500, in 1938 - 20,000. In 1938, Petah Tikva received city status. At the same time, the first industrial enterprises were created, naturally for the processing and canning of fruits.
Now Petah Tikva is a large modern city with a population of 200,000 and the second (after Haifa) industry.
Petah Tikva is 10 km away. from Tel Aviv and is bounded by three of the main highways: Highway 4 in the west, Trans-Samaria Highway No. 5 in the north and Highway No. 40 in the east, by which the city is directly connected to the international airport Ben Gurion and further from Be'er Sheva. A few kilometers to the east passes the Trans-Israeli Highway No. 6. The area of ​​the city is 38 square meters. km.
There are still several blocks left in the city almost untouched from the beginning of the last century. Unprepossessing one- and two-story houses. Obviously not rich. It is not for nothing that the first workers’ club in Israel was opened here in 1911, and then a health insurance fund was created, and the workers’ party “Tnua Le-Ahdut Ha-Avoda”, now known simply as Avodah .
In general, the city center is densely built up with houses from the 50s - 70s, with small inclusions of earlier and later buildings. It all looked rather unsightly. But recently (for about ten years now) Petah Tikva has actively taken up improving the appearance of the city. The central streets are gradually being put in order, which of course creates many problems for transport and, naturally, residents are happy that it’s temporary (for a year and a half).
Infill development continues in the city center, and since in the last few years residential buildings have been built mainly multi-storey (20 floors and above), a “pencil” sticking out among 2-3 storey buildings does not look very appropriate.
Perhaps the calculation is that in 10 - 15 years all dilapidated buildings will be demolished. In principle, grandiose plans for a complete restructuring of the center exist. But will they come true?
The new quarters of Petah Tikva look completely different, especially those built in the new century. Now it seems that the Israelis all of a sudden discovered Petah Tikva as an attractive and convenient city.
In the five years from 2003 to 2008, the population grew by 12.5%, much higher than the average increase in Israel. And, for example, in 2008, 1,250 new apartments were sold, which is a lot for a city with 200,000 inhabitants. We can say that the city is experiencing the same construction boom as it was in the 90s of the last century. Ashdod and for the same reasons (work, apartment prices). And in terms of housing prices, Petah Tikva has already left Ashdod far behind.
It seems to me that such rapid construction will end with soaring housing prices and a transport collapse, and then the whole boom will slowly fade away (as in Ashdod). But prices are unlikely to drop to their previous level.
But let's return to the new quarters of Petah Tikva.
The new quarters look great. Diverse architecture, thoughtfulness even in the smallest details. And new approaches. For example, a kind of park that stretches behind the houses along the streets. And in the park there is a large amount of greenery and even a flowing pond. It may not be big, but with frogs, fish and everything that a decent pond should have.
But, in my opinion, a very important but. In the new areas there is a complete lack of infrastructure. And I'm afraid it is not even provided for in the project. You can walk several blocks and not see no one store or cafe or falafel shop.
It seems that the new neighborhoods were built with one purpose - to come home, eat, sleep and go to work. But it's boring. However, let's hope I'm wrong.
In general, if we don’t talk about this small drawback, the new quarters of Petah Tikva are a very good place to live.
Petah Tikva probably has the highest number of doctors and hospital beds per 1,000 inhabitants in Israel.
Of course, the city has reception centers and clinics for all health insurance companies. But in addition, there are six hospitals in Petah Tikva.
Medical complex them. Rabin(Beilinson), which includes the Beilinson Medical Center and the Davidof Cancer Center. The complex includes a psychiatric hospital, Schneider Children's Teaching Hospital and a medical research center Tel Aviv University .
Also in Petah Tikva there is Sharon Hospital and Beit Rivka Hospital, a geriatric center. And the pediatric center is the largest and most modern of the children's hospitals in the Middle East. Of course, there are also several private hospitals.
The convenient location of the city allows you to quickly get to any city in the center or north of the country, with which there is regular bus service. And in Tel Aviv from Petah Tikva you can get there along Z. Jabotinsky Street. First, moving along this street, you will cross Bnei Brak (a city smaller than Petah Tikva), then Ramat Gan (a city the same as Petah Tikva), and in Tel Aviv Z. Jabotinsky Street will turn into Menachem Begin, which is correct not only geographically, but also politically.
And a few words about public transport. City transport has dozens of

When wondering where Petah Tikva is, travelers can easily determine its location using a map of Israel. It is located about 10 km from large Tel Aviv in the Sharon Valley. Today it is a city with a strong personality and character.

Petah Tikva – description

The official status of the city was acquired by the settlement only in 1939, several years before the founding of the State of Israel. From that time on, the city not only produced agricultural products, but also processed them, opening several large factories. After World War II, textile and metalworking enterprises opened in Petah Tikva. The city is growing and becoming one of the largest in the country.

Petah Tikva occupies a very advantageous location in terms of tourism, being located a short distance from the Mediterranean Sea. Tourists staying in this city simultaneously receive a quiet holiday with the opportunity to visit nearby settlements. An interesting fact is that the city of Petah Tikva is included in the Guinness Book of Records, thanks to Jabotinsky Street, the longest and connecting four cities in Israel at once.

Petah Tikva (Israel) – attractions

Petah Tikva (Israel) in the photo depicts the city as bright, with smooth, wide streets and low buildings. Hospitable locals welcome tourists, the flow of whom is quite large during the season.

In fairness, it should be noted that this city is quite poor in historical and archaeological attractions, something for which Israel is famous, but this does not detract from the tourist interest in it.

The sights of the city of Petah Tikva (Israel) are recognizable from guidebooks and brochures. For example, bridge in the city is one of its main identification marks. It was erected in 2006 by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava; he is a recognized master of “string” bridges, which look like light and almost airy structures. The bridge has a unique shape in the form of the Latin letter Y. It spans Jabotinsky Street, starting from the Beilinson Medical Center and ending with one horn at the Grand Canyon shopping center and the second at the city park.

Another attraction - City Park– one of the favorite places for walks and recreation for both citizens and tourists.

Also, the city of Petah Tikva in Israel is famous all over the world for its Hapoel football club and its home stadium, which often hosts both domestic and international matches, and this is another big point in attracting tourists to the city.

City market with amazing flavor can compete with the largest markets and. But, unlike these large cities, prices at the Petah Tikva market are very affordable, which cannot but attract tourists.

There is a small zoo, which contains an extensive and rare collection of feathered representatives of the region and the world as a whole.

Often during bad weather, Petah Tikva is covered in a dust and sand storm; this local feature takes many travelers by surprise. Travel agencies and hotel administrations warn their guests about this problem. Spring is a big tourist season, at this time trees bloom in abundance, many exotic species are quite rare, but grow well in the arid Israeli land. On the streets, along with palm trees, citrus fruit trees grow: tangerines and oranges.

Where to stay?

Hotels in Petah Tikva do not offer much variety, since most tourists stay in the large neighboring Tel Aviv. But, nevertheless, the hotels in the city are distinguished by a high level of service. A large number of tourists prefer apartments that are rented in different parts of the city and belong to several owners. During the season, such accommodation should be reserved in advance, as they are extremely popular among travelers.

Among the most memorable hotels are the following:

1. One of the youngest hotels – Malka Apartments, located in the very center of the city and is a cozy place offering comfortable rooms of different levels.
2. One of the best hotels in Petah Tikva is Prima Link Hotel, it is located in the center on Mota Gur street. It offers tourists rooms of different comfort levels with panoramic windows. The hotel has a restaurant where you can order breakfast, lunch and dinner both individually and as a buffet.

Where to eat?

The city offers a wide variety of small street cafes with excellent cuisine at affordable prices and large restaurants for real gourmets. You can enjoy European and local cuisine for little money in Cafe Goomba. Fast food made from natural local products is offered in Cafe La Carne. IN Ayana and Paprika restaurants You can taste Israeli and Mediterranean cuisine, vegetable and seafood dishes. All food offered in Israel is kosher, representing a wide variety of tastes and aromas.

How to get there?

The extensive and rich infrastructure of the city provides comfortable and regular bus service both within Petah Tikva and intercity flights. The nearest airport is Tel Aviv, which is about half an hour from the city; buses, taxis and minibuses regularly circulate between it and the center of Petah Tikva.

Good day to all! I invite you to take a walk with me to the glorious city in which I live...

I currently live in the Israeli city of Petah Tikva. It is the sixth largest city in Israel and is located 10 km from Tel Aviv. As a rule, you will not find it on tourist routes. Tourists already have a large selection of places in the Holy Land that simply must be visited. But if you get to Petah Tikva, you will not regret it...

Well? Ready to take a walk? This will not be an excursion in the full sense, we will not go to museums, theaters and parks, of which there are many in the city, we will simply walk along one of the routes familiar to me and my son.

1. I leave the house on the street)) I live on Wolfson, almost in the center. It's half past six. The sun is not visible due to dust. We had a sandstorm during the day, the dust had not yet settled completely...

2. I cross the road and head along Wolfson Street. On the right is a kiosk - I’m showing it to you specifically because at first it killed me that Israelis buy water, chips and beer at the kiosk. I’m somehow used to going to kiosks for the latest newspapers, but this is country specific. In general, if we talk about language, this is a separate topic. Russian Israelis speak Russian terribly. Even in Germany I have not heard such a mix, but as they say, all Jews are sure that air conditioning is called mazgan in all languages, and blinds are called tris)))

3. I reach the central street of Haym Ozer. The whole street is decorated with flags; April 15th is Independence Day. By the way, the date is not fixed, or rather it is fixed according to the Jewish calendar, the Jewish calendar does not coincide with ours. So every year all the holidays come at an unexpected time)) In the photo in the distance is Don Quixote on a motorcycle. What does it mean - no idea) I don’t understand many things here)

4. I’m walking straight, my Wolfson has already flowed into Histadrud Street. On the left is my favorite store - Superpharm - all the cosmetics are there)) But I'm walking past))

5. Why I love Israel, that there is always something blooming here. In spring it is, of course, just a riot of flowers... The large flowers on the trees are especially impressive.

6. We reached Rothstilda Street. Boron Rothschild was one of the founders of the city. I took a photo of the intersection for you not because there is a McDonald’s sign in the background. Pay attention to the tree that looks like a Christmas tree - this is an araucaria, the only conifer that I noticed here.

7. We turned left and reached a strange monument - an apple - overlooking Haavei Lezion Street. Let's go straight ahead.

8. This is what never ceases to amaze me here in the country - these are citrus trees growing just like that, next to a palm tree, clinging to the house...

9. We reached the Arch of Baron Rothschild, which marks the gate of the city. Petah Tikva is translated from Hebrew as “gate of hope.” The arch was originally the entrance to the city, now it is almost in the center, and the city has grown to 200 thousand inhabitants.

10. From the arch we turned right again and found ourselves at a local landmark - the market, or as they call it SHUK here. This wonderful bazaar is an excellent example of oriental markets with barkers and a riot of goods. They say that only the Jerusalem one is better than it, but I won’t say so. The barkers at the shuk shout so loudly that people who don’t know the language think that a fight is about to break out, but in fact they are shouting the product and the price. Funny...

11. Oriental spices, nuts and dried fruits are just something. But, alas, I practically don’t take them. Say what you will, but it confuses me that they are being sold, standing open along a dusty road, and from a shop that resembles a Soviet garage.

12. We reached the main square of Petah Tikva - the Square of the Founders of the City. A fountain proudly splashes in the center, behind which we see memorials to the founders of the city - I. Salomon, I. Stampfer, I. Raab and D. Gutman

To the right is a dancing orchestra, behind it are tangerine trees. It’s not for nothing that tangerines are depicted on the coat of arms - they are everywhere here..

To the left is a monument reminiscent of the agricultural past.

Closer to the intersection is a monument of modern art, apparently with a very deep meaning, and a musician playing the saxophone, who by chance fell into the frame.

This is a playground with exercise equipment, right on the sidewalk... anyone can come at any time and work out... It’s cool!

14. We return back to Haym Lakes, which we crossed at the beginning of our walk. On the left is a vegetable kiosk... Just now I’m thinking, isn’t it because of the illumination that their vegetables and fruits are twice as expensive as at the market?!

15. Let's move on. And what do we see? London telephone box. Welcome to London! Petah Tikva is the only city in Israel in which 10 London telephone booths were installed about 5 years ago. In my opinion they fit perfectly.

By the way, I want to draw your attention. Israel is a green country, although it is located in the desert. The trees here simply emerge from the sidewalk and bear fruit. An inexperienced eye asks: “How???”, an experienced one points to the roots: each tree has a pipe that waters it evenly, this is its own complex plumbing system.

16. We reached the square near the city hall. It proudly displays a ball and plastic bottles, as a symbol of respect for nature and the Pied Piper. And no one here knows the rat catcher of Hamelin. At first I thought that maybe these are twin cities, but no... In general, it still remains a mystery)

17. Turning left, we found ourselves at the main entrance to the municipal building. In front of the porch there is a fountain with 4 women - the Monument to the Four Mothers. Above the entrance is the inscription “Municipality of Petah Tikva” with a coat of arms and logo. I once observed a strike here. Here in the country they like to go on strike and they say that, as a rule, they manage to defend their rights.

18. So we returned to the house. My house is across the street. In the foreground is a bin for plastic bottles - we save nature. The houses here are also interesting, there are one and a half floors, as a rule, there are no entrances that we are used to, and there are trimmed bushes all around...

This is how we ended up with a two-hour walk. Hope you enjoyed it! And you will be in Israel, welcome to Petah Tikva!

Sale and rental of residential and commercial real estate in Petah Tikva

Petah Tikva (Hebrew: פֶּתַח תִּקְוָה‎), a city in the Sharon Valley, about 10 km east of Tel Aviv.

Area - 38 sq. km, population - 182,800 people (beginning of 2003)

The name of the settlement - "gate of hope" translated from Hebrew - is taken from the book of the prophet Hoshea (Hosea) (2:17).

Founded in 1878 as an agricultural settlement by a group of religious Jews from Jerusalem. Their initial attempt to establish a similar settlement near Jericho failed due to obstacles imposed by the Turkish authorities. Then they bought from a Greek owner a plot of 340 hectares at the source of the Yarkon River, in a marshy area, near the Arab village of Mulabbis, thus laying the foundation for the first Jewish agricultural settlement in modern times. Later they began to figuratively call him “Em ha-Moshavot”, Hebrew. אם המושבות‎ - “mother moshavot” - the word “moshava” (as opposed to “moshav”) was the name given to the first Zionist settlements, some of which later became large cities.

The founders of Petah Tikva, among whom were I. Salomon, I. Stampfer, I. Raab and D. Gutman (1827-94), managed to attract new settlers, but difficulties soon began, a malaria epidemic broke out, and the first harvest was poor.

In 1882, when Petah Tikva had 10 houses and 66 inhabitants, malaria forced the settlers to move to the village of Yahudia (now Yehud), although they continued to cultivate their lands.

In 1883, members of the Bilu movement founded a settlement on a site somewhat further from the shore of the Yarkon. They were joined by members of Hovevei Zion from Bialystok.

The new settlers faced the same difficulties as the previous ones - lack of agricultural experience, malaria, hostility from the Turkish administration, attacks from Arab neighbors. Thanks to the help of Baron E. de Rothschild, the swamps were drained. Management of the moshava passed from the local council to the baron's administration. Over time, tensions arose between the residents and the administration; in 1900 Rothschild transferred the settlement to the Jewish Colonization Society. Arab attacks forced the settlers to create a self-defense unit (the first in the country), headed by A. Shapira.

In 1891, Petah Tikva had 464 residents, and in 1900 - 818. The moshava became the center of the formation of the Israeli labor movement;

here in 1905 the foundations of the future parties Ha-Po'el ha-tsa'ir (Hebrew: הפועל הצעיר‎) and Ahdut ha-'avodah (Tnua le-ahdut ha-'avodah) were laid.

After World War I, many new immigrants settled in the moshav. In May 1921, residents of Petah Tikva repelled an attack by an Arab gang, but four of them were killed.

In the 1930s This was the headquarters of the Haganah. In 1930, 8.8 thousand people lived in Petah Tikva, and in 1938 - 20 thousand; in 1939 Petah Tikva received city status. At the same time, the rapid development of industry began, primarily enterprises for processing agricultural products.

At this time, the city grew rapidly, several neighboring settlements merged into it (Mahane Yehuda, Ein Gannim, Kfar Gannim, Kfar Avraham and others).

After 1948, the growth of the city accelerated even more (45 thousand inhabitants in 1953, 54 thousand in 1961, 83.2 thousand in 1970), new enterprises were created (metalworking, chemical, textile, food and other).

The city has a medical center named after. Rabin (Belinson) is one of the largest in the country. There is a memorial center "Yad Lebanim", dedicated to the memory of all those who fell in defense of the State of Israel. The current mayor of Petah Tikva is Yitzhak Ohayon.

In Petah Tikva, 684 apartments were sold in the first half of 2008, compared to 545 units in the same period in 2007.	Organization	Address
