Alef (Quarter 1): Affordable Family-Friendly Suburb

Three things you might not know about Ashdod

Ashdod's port is one of Israel's largest and busiest, handling most of the country's imports and exports — the port economy continues to underpin the city's growth.

Ashdod is Israel's sixth-largest city, and has one of the highest Francophone populations of any Israeli city — French Olim have established meaningful community infrastructure here over recent decades.

The Ashdod Marina, opened in the 2010s, has driven a noticeable transformation of the city's coastal neighborhoods and is a key driver of the tourism and short-term rental economy.
