Ajami, Jaffa

Ajami (Arabic: العجمي, Hebrew: עג'מי) is a predominantly Arab neighborhood in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, situated south of Old Jaffa and north of the Jabaliyya neighborhood on the Mediterranean Sea.

It developed in the late 19th century following the demolition of the city walls of Jaffa, and by the 1920s was a densely populated urban area.
