Step into Shuk HaTikvah, a vibrant Tel Aviv market full of color, scents, and sounds. This hidden gem offers an authentic look into daily Israeli life, far from the tourist trail, where locals shop, converse and savor rich, homegrown flavors.
Your guided tour includes a live spice making demo, with fragrant blends ground fresh before you. Taste fresh middle eastern olives, za’atar covered pita straight from family run bakeries & Iraqi pita baked fresh in traditional taboon ovens. Watch as these age-old techniques come to life.
Enjoy juicy, fresh seasonal fruit, crispy falafel, and the deep aroma of a decades-old coffee shop still roasting beans the old-fashioned way. Shuk HaTikvah, named after the nearby HaTikvah neighborhood, was founded in the 1930s and reflects the full range of Israel’s rich cultural mix.
At the end of the tour, walk through the wholesale jewelry district on Etsel where local artists have been creating fine silver and gold items for decades.

5.00The Shuk Hatikva tour with Savy was my favourite experience in Tel Aviv! Savy was personable, funny and knowledgeable and her insights into the market, the Israeli and Iraqi culture, and food were so interesting. The food samples were delicious and the group atmosphere was fantastic. I did another tour the next day with a different operator (different market) and it was nowhere near as good was this tour! We were so fortunate to spend the two hours with Savy - when will I ever be standing in the kitchen of an Iraqi bakery watching the bakers make pita bread again?! Thanks Savy!
