Yefet Street

It was named after Noah's son Japhet, founder of the city according to one legend.

It links the Clock Square to Bat Yam, where it continues as Balfour Street.

Yefet Street forms the boundary between the historic neighbourhoods of Old Jaffa, Ajami and Giv'at Aliyah (Jabaliya) to the west, and the newer neighbourhoods of Tzahalon, Shikunei Hisachon, Neve Golan and Yafo Gimel to the east of the street.

It was called "Ajami Street", after Ibrahim al-Ajami, the Persian companion of the Prophet.

[citation needed] On the Survey of Palestine map from 1944, the sections of what would become Yefet Street were named, north to south: Shari' El Madaris; Shari' El Hulwa; Tariq Abu Es Su'ud.
