🪨 Quiet Corners & Wild Views: The Rock Garden, Tel Aviv

Nestled in the western part of Yarkon Park, the Rock Garden is one of Tel Aviv’s most peaceful escapes—a desert-like landscape where cacti, succulents, and native Mediterranean plants bloom among dramatic rock formations. Entry is free, and it’s easily reached by walking or cycling from the Tel Aviv Port area.

As you wander the winding paths, you’ll spot ibises, hoopoes, and even the occasional jackal crossing the open fields nearby. The garden also offers sculptural stone terraces and benches perfect for a mid-afternoon rest or quiet meditation surrounded by the hum of bees and the rustle of dry grass.

💡 Pro Tip: Visit in late afternoon for golden light and cooler air. Spring brings a burst of wildflowers, while sunset offers a tranquil view of Yarkon Park’s open landscape. Bring water—there’s little shade inside the garden.
