It all started way back on July 31, 1882 with three tents on a dusty and desolate hill. Since that
time, Rishon LeZion had become a thriving and prosperous city with over 240,000 residents.
Rishon LeZion is Israel's fourth largest city and one of the central and important cities in our country, a leader in many fields, including housing, entertainment, commerce and industry.
According to the central Bureau of Statistics, based on yearly income per person, average value of housing and the purchase of consumers' durable goods, the quality of life in Rishon LeZion is one of the highest in Israel.
Our city has unique residential areas, attractive parks, a beautiful beach, many cultural and artistic projects, Academic Institutes, Industrial, and Entertainment zones, shopping centers, and much more.
You are welcome to our beautiful city. Enjoy your stay with us.
