Ashdod
Ashdod is Israel's sixth-largest city that located on the Mediterranean coast 32 kilometers south of Tel Aviv and 20 kilometers north of Ashkelon in the country's Southern District. It is now a major Israeli city with the largest port in the country, accounting for 60% of the country's imported goods. Ashdod is home to Israel's largest Moroccan and Karaite Jewish communities, as well as the world's largest Georgian Jewish community. It is also a significant regional industrial hub.
When you come to Ashdod, you must pay a visit to the Corinne Mamane Museum of Philistine Culture. It is the world's only museum dedicated to this subject. In 2014, it reopened with a new interactive exhibition. The Museum houses significant Philistine artifacts from each of the pentapolis' five cities. Ashdod, located further south along the coast, is another popular beach vacation destination that offers archaeological explorations, sports, leisure, music, and delectable Middle Eastern cuisine. It's also a popular stop for cruise ships sailing through the Mediterranean.
