Twenty kilometers from the Israeli city of Tel Aviv is a small cozy town Raanana. First of all, tourists are attracted by the magnificent nature and attractions of this corner, as well as delicious food and always excellent weather.
History of the city
The town of Raanana in Israel was founded in 1912. It would be more correct to say that at the beginning it was not a city, but a settlement, since it was formed by several Jewish families who returned from America. They called their settlement Raanania, but neighboring Palestinian families christened this region of America. A few years later, when the settlement grew and looked like a city, it was decided to call it Raanana, which means “vigor”.
Today, the number of people living in the city of Raanan in Israel reaches 80 thousand people. These are mainly immigrants from the USA and Europe. However, in the past few years, the Russian-speaking population has also begun to discover this small, cozy town.
Economic sphere
Raanana is an industrial city. Despite its small size, the northern part of the city is completely devoted to industrial production. Such giants of modern business as Hewlett-Packard, Sap, Europe’s largest producer of various software, work here. In the eastern part of the city there are various cafes, restaurants, entertainment venues, shopping centers. The city has the so-called "rarefied" construction law. This means that about eighty percent of the total area is occupied by parks and squares. The city administration spends a lot of money on protecting the environment and maintaining the needs associated with it.
Climate and nature
The nature and weather in Israel are stable all year round. The average temperature is about twenty-five degrees Celsius. In such a climatic zone, all kinds of plants and flowers, with which the streets are full, feel great. At the beginning of its existence, the city could not boast of parks and gardens for walks, but over time it acquired them.
