Geocache Description:

Small plastic canister.

Ajami was founded during Ottoman rule over Palestine at the end of the 19th century by wealthy Maronite Christian Arabs. The neighborhood's streets were laid parallel to the coast, and a church and monastery of St. Antony were built. The neighborhood’s houses were built from limestone surrounded by large courtyards; the construction style reflected the economic ability of its initial residents.[1] The neighborhood is named after Ibrahim al-Ajami, one of prophet Muhammad's companions. According to a local tradition, he was buried in the south of the neighborhood. A mosque constructed at the site in 1895, al-Ajami, is named for him.

The Peres Center for Peace, located in the southern tip of Ajami, opened in December 2009 after 10 years of planning and construction. The building (2,500 sq.m.), a distinctive architectural landmark on the Jaffa coast, was designed by Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas.

"The Old Man and the Sea" is a popular Arab seafood restaurant in the southern part of Ajami. Abu Hassan is a small hummus restaurant located on the northern tip of Ajami. It was opened in 1959 by Ali Karawan and now has two additional branches in Jaffa

The 2009 Israeli film Ajami directed by Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani was nominated as a foreign language film for the 2010 Academy Awards. Many characters in the film were played by non-professional actors who live in Ajam
