    Cradle of Christianity Ein Kerem is the traditional birthplace of John the Baptist. From Luke 1:39, we know that his parents, Elizabeth and Zacharias, were living in the hill country, in a city of Judah. While John was in Elizabeth's womb, the pregnant Mary visited her[the Visitation Church]. Mary's Well - Virgin Fountain An ancient fresh-water spring, where Mary, Mother of Jesus visited Elisabeth, Mother of John (The Baptist). Opposite Mary's Well (Virgin Fountain) stands an old stone-mansion, surrounded by beautiful gardens, The Ein Kerem Music Centre, Targ Centre, a site not to be missed. The Church of John the Baptist The present building, located in the midst of the village, dates from 1674, when the Franciscans, aided by the Spanish monarchy, built it on the ruins of its predecessors

    En - Kerem A beautiful tranquil corner of Jerusalem, away from the dust and heat and historic sounds of endless war - a green subuorb with old golden stone houses and plenty of trees. On a hillside with marvellous views, it has cool breezes which are a welcome relief in the heat of the local summer, producing an atmosphere of Tuscany, here in the Middle East. A place where people of all religions and nationalities live happily side by side.

    Ancient Jerusalem - City of
    DAVID

    If you're young or young in spirit [and you have gold in your heart and not betwen your teeth] - enrich your Jerusalem's experience with BIBLICAL HEZEKIAH's TUNNEL. The City of David became a central and well-protected city at 19th century BCE. The first reason why this location was chosen is its proximity to GIHON SPRING. WATER, the source of life, was a crucial issue in this area, at the edge of the desert. In the Canaanite period [18th century BCE] an underground tunnel was hewn serving as a protected passageway to the spring. The upper part of the water system was discovered by Charles Warren in 1867, and was cleared by archaeologists in 1995. In the year 701 BCE Assyrian King Sanheriv rose up and laid siege to Jerusalem. As part of the preparation to defend Jerusalem from the siege, Hezekiah the king of Judea diverted the water from the Gihon to a pool betwwen the walls of the southern end of the city. [Chronicles 2, 32:30]. The diversion was accomplished by hewing a tunnel 533 meters in length. An inscription in ancient Hebrew writing, discovered in 1880, describes that the tunnel was hewn from two directions simultaneously. The joy of the diggers while meeting of the two groups - documented on that inscription

    The walk through the tunnel takes about 40 minutes. The height of the water is above the knees [approx. 70 cm]. You can bring flashlight [or rent one in the entrance] and water shoes. Candles are not allowed.

    There are many tombs of the prophets and saints in Jerusalem and one of them that are very popular in the Muslims 'Sufi' world is Rabi'atul Adawiyah. For the Muslim especially …Don't forget to visit her tomb if you have the time to offer your prayer.

    Another place that we've visited is Omar Al-Khattab Mosque on our way to see the Church Of Nativity. Jerusalem is one of the sacred and holy site for the world three major religions, so I do hope visitors to this place will try to show some respect…At least be quiet at the place of worship regardless whether you're freethinker or an agnostic even atheist !

    The ultra-Orthodox neighbourhood, where fashion stopped about 150 years ago. They have preserved the life and uses as their ancestors, who came from Eastern Europe. Please remember to dress modestly; that means that women should not show her legs (long skirts), well actually women should not show anything, if you want to walk around, show as less as possible. If you go on Shabbats (Saturdays), do not drive through, take photos or listen to a walkman or you may be in trouble. I loved the little boys with the payot (sidecurls)

    Here you can see along one of the outer walls of the old city. Below it you have the new and modern road leading into "new" Jerusalem. You can get an idea of the size of the walls by the cars and people below.

    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.
