Tel Aviv Promenade, Tel Aviv-Jaffe, Israel
The main promenade of Tel Aviv, now known as the Lahat Promenade, is one of Tel Aviv’s most popular public spaces. Paved with pebbles in a pattern that evokes waves, it runs the entire length of the city’s beach. It was a redesign of a narrower promenade built in 1939.
