Gaza is considered to be one of
the most ancient and historical towns in the world. It is an Arab
Cannaanite town gifted with a location which has been targeted by
invaders for many centuries.
The strategic significance of Gaza is no less important than its
trading significance. This is due to the fact that most of the
important trading routes in the ancient world led to Gaza, where
goods from the south east of Asia and the Arab Peninsula such as
spices, incense, rosemary and others were exported to all cities of
the Mediterranean Sea.
Until the 18th century, the city was fortified with walls and gates
leading to seven towns. These gates were given the names of those
towns; Balakhiya Gate, Minas Gate, Sea Gate, Ashquelon Gate, Hebron
Gate, Monter Gate and Daroum Gate.
Al-Ostakhri, a historian, said that Gaza is the last city in
Palestine close to the Egyptian desert. Napoleon said that the city
is the front garrison of Africa and the gate of Asia.
Gaza has a large number of archaeological sites which date back to
different periods from the Cannaanite to the Ottoman period. Aside
from all of this, Gaza has one of the most beautiful beaches and
extremely friendly locals. Exploring Gaza can leave a profound
impact on the visitor.
