About the tour

HaTikva is the least touristy of Tel Aviv's markets, and that is exactly the point. Six food stops across Iraqi, Bukharan and Yemenite kitchens, in a neighbourhood that has been cooking the same way for seventy years.

You find out the names of the places and dishes inside the tour. Until then, the surprise is part of it.
