Gush Dan

Gush Dan (גוש דן) is the Hebrew name of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area including areas from both the Tel Aviv District and the Central District of Israel on the Mediterranean coast.

It is the largest metropolitan area in Israel, with a population of approximately 1.75 million. The area includes Tel-Aviv-Jaffa, Ramat Gan, Givatayim, Petach Tikva, Bnei-Brak, Bat Yam, Herzliya, Ramle, Lod and Rishon Lezion.

The name Gush Dan means Dan Bloc, and is so named because the area was the territory of the tribe of Dan in the ancient Kingdom of Israel.
