The opening as it read in 2025
Ajami, 2012 Ajami ( Arabic : العجمي , Hebrew : עג'מי ) is a predominantly Arab neighborhood in Tel Aviv-Yafo , Israel , situated south of Old Jaffa and north of the Jabaliyya neighborhood on the Mediterranean Sea . It developed in the late 19th century following the demolition of the city walls of Jaffa, and by the 1920s was a densely populated urban area. The Gateway of Palestine: A History of Jaffa . The year 1879 marks the beginning of a new epoch in the life of Jaffa. That year the demolition of the city walls was commenced; and the immediate consequence of this measure was the creation and rapid expansion of new quarters both to the south and to the north of the walled city. In 1879, there were only a few houses in existence in the neighbourhood of the wely of Sheikh Ibrahim el-Ajami; to-day, after about forty years' slow but regular growth, the "Ajami" quarter of Jaffa, that is to say that part of the town which is situated on the hills to the south of the old city, counts about 950 houses
