In order for this event to be profitable, you need to decide what exactly you would like to buy: if there are good branded items, then you should go to the center of Tel Aviv, to fashion boutiques and shopping centers, but if oriental exoticism and souvenirs, then to a large souvenir bazaar to Jerusalem and to the flea market in Jaffa, which is essentially part of Tel Aviv, its more remote area.
