Gush Dan

Gush Dan is a metropolitan region on the Mediterranean coast comprising several major cities linked by roads and public transportation networks. The area contains residential neighborhoods, business districts, industrial zones, and recreational spaces distributed across different administrative boundaries.

The region takes its name from the ancient tribe of Dan mentioned in Hebrew scripture, who settled in this territory in early times. Modern development accelerated in the early 1900s when Tel Aviv was founded as a planned coastal city that became the area's main urban center.

The region serves as a hub for technology companies and startups that shape daily work and innovation across the area. Coffee shops and public spaces throughout the neighborhoods function as gathering spots where entrepreneurs and creative professionals naturally congregate.

The region is well-served by cars, buses, and trains, with regular connections between the different cities throughout the day. Visitors should expect to use multiple forms of transportation since the cities are spread out and each has its own central areas and entry points.

The Diamond Exchange in Ramat Gan ranks among the world's largest diamond trading centers, handling a substantial portion of global gem transactions each day. This specialized district sits quietly within the urban landscape and significantly shapes the region's economic identity.
