Doris has tremendous energy and is a wonderful storyteller. We loved the personal elements (as well as the coffee).

We ended up in Doris' beautiful house. She is a gifted story teller. For almost 2 hours we listened to her story of growing up in a Christian family in Jaffa. Highly recommend. The hospitality and coffee are also great!

We spent a lovely, cosy couple of hours (we gained extra time being the last group of the day) with the lovely, vivacious Doris. She entertained us with cultural information about the Arab communities in Jaffa (mainly Christian), her own life, and treated us to her family's very own brand of coffee (Antoine) and baklava. She provided plenty of information and laughs, and I personally was deliged to be in an Arab home in Jaffa! Don't miss it.
