The Trade Fair
Official Award medal, 5724-1964


As early as the 1930's Tel Aviv, which was a commercial, industrial and cultural center, started to host international fairs. Israel's strategic location and Tel Aviv's rapid development combined to make the Levant Fair, which was held in Tel Aviv, a gathering place for industrialists and merchants from many countries. The emblem of the Fair, a flying camel, became famous.
The second International Levant Fair since the State was established, was opened in Tel Aviv in the summer of 1964.
