It is one of seven clock towers in Ottoman Palestine. This one in Jaffa was constructed in 1900-1903 from outpouring of support from the diverse community of the city: Jews, Arabs, Maronites, and Armenians.

The clock mechanism was made by a Jewish clock maker. The structure was a commemoration of the reigning Ottoman sultan at the time. Both the Torah and the Sultan's seal are engraved on the second floor. The tower is distinctly an Ottoman architecture.

Since its construction, the clock tower has been the focal point of the city that has undergone modernization/changes over the years. Today, it is the most recognizable landmark along with the Old Citadel.

Surrounding the clock tower are remarkable modern additions. There's an attractive alley housing several lovely urban murals.

Very nice Clock Tower. Recommend at night and on Weekend with walk through old Jaffa. Almost no Tourists on the way. Tower is illuminated nicely and looks unique. Very unique experiance better than daytime. Take also time for Coffee :-), but then please do not look to the clock at clock Tower. Just take ur time.

tel aviv is truly a nice place to visit specially the old town for the relaxing views and chilling vibes, however this place has over priced when it comes to food, drinks, and services as it is not worth paying for. a place where you can say it’s good but not something you’d like to comeback as there’s nothing much to excite from other than the nostalgic places/history from this country has to offer. taxi is not recommended, walk as the weather is not bad at this time or use the public transportation which can save you literally 70-80%

Not much of a review necessary. It's pretty much all in the name: The clock tower. What I can add is that it's a very nice tall clock set up in the city standing proud in the middle of the street. The tower is right near the shuk so you don't have to make a trip just to the tower you can also enjoy the cool flea market there. Yes the time is correct (and it's time to go).

Very beautiful clock tower in the very beginning of the Old Jaffa neighborhood. Perfect time to take some photos is definitely short before the sunset. From there start your tour, also self guided tour, through the beautiful Jaffa

Had a "chill vibe." Nice scenic walk through the town with the beach and port on the other side
Took a boat for a scenic TLV tour for less than $10 bucks. Please do not miss the amazing sunset. All a block over.
