The Tel Aviv District (Hebrew: מָחוֹז תֵּל אָבִיב‎; Arabic: منطقة تل أبيب‎) is the smallest and most densely populated of six administrative districts of Israel with a population of 1.35 million residents.[2] It is 98.9% Jewish and 1.10% Arab (0.7% Muslim, 0.4% Christian).[citation needed]

The district's capital is Tel Aviv, one of the two largest cities in Israel and the country's economic, business and technological capital. The metropolitan area created by the Tel Aviv district and its neighboring cities is locally named Gush Dan.

It is the only one of the six districts not to border either the West Bank or an international border, being surrounded on the north, east, and south by the Central District and on the west by the Mediterranean Sea. The population density of Tel Aviv district is 7,259/km2.
