The experience was fantastic! Dorris is knowledgeable, kind, and hospitable. She shared her experiences living in Israel as a Christian-Arab-Palestinian-Israeli. My group learned a lot about life in Jaffa and the history of the area. We drank delicious coffee and ate tasty pastries. I recommend booking with Dorris to get a different perspective of life in Israel as an Arab.

This experience ends at the meeting point.
We visited Doris' house. Doris' stories were very interesting and brought a different perspective on the Jaffa we know. It was interesting and fun! I recommend coming and visiting!
I went to Dorris's home on a tour offered by the Tel Aviv municipality. She served us coffee from her family's special blend and one of the best baklawas I ever tasted. But the best part was her stories about her own life, about the demographics of Jaffa and the challenges of starting her own business as a Christian Arab woman. She told all these in a very lively manner, with a theatrical touch. I would definitely recommend a visit to her home.
Doris Hifawi is a member of a Christian Arab family, making her a double minority. Her family has been making coffee for generations. The cardamon coffee is quite unique. Doris generously shares her Arab coffee and delicacies with guests. Doris tells stories about life in Jaffa, from days gone by. She invites guests into her home to be illustrate her life in a mixed city. Doris is a lively and entertaining raconteur,
Doris was a Charing host that let us see her life and history. As people who were also a minority, my family and I related to much or her life. We also were able to better understand the complexities of living in Israel and learned a lot. I recommend Doris's coffee hosting to any who wants to understand the complex social factors that obtain in Israel.
