Islam and Judaism sharing the same place
by dabuwan
One of the things that most impressed me is the view of the two major holy sites for Judaism and Islam so close to each other. The Wailing Wall and the Dome of the Rock share the same hill since centuries and this co-existence must continue for ever, in peace.
Internet Access in the Old Walled City
by jadedmuse
Jerusalem may have been around in one form or another since the First Temple, but it's not until you're scurrying down the narrow streets of the Christian Quarter and suddenly realize you need to email your sister to advise that you found that whatever-it-was she asked you to look for her, that you stop for a moment and shake your head....You've just passed under a sign that says "Holy Rock Cafe"! That's funny.
But seriously - internet access is not a problem in the Old Walled City. You'll find several reasonably priced internet cafes in the Christian Quarter. The one I used alot was the "Free Line Internet Cafe" (a few doors down and across from the "Holy Rock"!).

The haredi people in their 'funny' clothings. Belive it or not, that was one of the original ideas when they started to wear the black suits and matching hats. They wanted to be different and wanted to be looked at. If you try to go close and shoot a picture of the haredi's they smile at you, because this is marketing of their religion.

While visiting this beautiful area, we took this picture of the walls that go around Jerusalem.
This neighbour and its gardens are a great stop after all the walking over the old city, and have parking places.
Old City Armenian Quarter
by Kuznetsov_Sergey
The Armenian Quarter is the smallest of the four quarters of the Old City. The Quarter is situated in the southeastern corner of the Old City. You can enter it through the Jaffa Gate or the Zion Gate. There a lot of Christian Holy places such as: the Cathedral of St James, the Church of the Archangels, the St. Toros Church, Edward and Helen Mardigian Museum.
Some Christian historians believed the site of the Armenian Quarter is also the Biblical Mount Zion, a name currently used for the area- a parcel of land highly coveted by other nations and religions.
