- Jaffa, or Joppa, is situated on the Mediterranean coast some thirty-five miles to the northwest of Jerusalem. It is the chief seaport of Palestine, and rejoices in the possession of the worst harbor in the world, a rocky, shallow basin which is rather a menace than a protection to shipping. To land the thousands of tourists who enter yearly through this port on their way to Jerusalem and the rest of the Holy Land, the steamers are obliged to anchor a couple of miles from shore and transfer their passengers to small boats which thread their way through rocks and surf to the beach. Jaffa's chief industry is raising oranges. Great groves of heavily-laden trees stretch for miles outside the city. The scenes showing the orange pickers at work are singularly picturesque.
