    Western Wall & the Dome
    by Goner
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Old Jerusalem is an ancient Holy City intrically woven with religions - the heart of the Holy Land. Three religions claim it as the gateway to Heaven. There is so much to see here that it's overwhelming. A good map showing all the important sites is a must. There are winding streets and alleyways just waiting to be explored, AND with a guide or a good map you CAN SEE IT ALL. At the time I was there, it was peaceful and lively. Everyone seemed to be living in peace and harmony - WHAT CAN'T IT STAY THAT WAY!!

    The Dome of the Rock is such a shiney gold it seems to be the only other color than the sand colored ancient walls, but the real color in Jerusalem is its people. There are Ethiopian priests in flowing golden robes and headress -- they seem to float through the streets. There are all the Jewish sects; those from Europe with curls dangling from their caps, some with fur hats and long distinguished beards. There are the Greek Orthodox priests in their black robes with giant crosses hanging from their necks. Beudoin ladies with colorful headresses, Muslim ladies with their long dresses and head coverings, and Israelis in western style casual clothing. Such diversity of people and customs I've never seen in any other country.

    This is Robinson's Arch, don't have any idea why the name, so will have to go look it up and add later. You can find it in the Jewish Quarter.

    We found this beautiful portal or entrance to a building courtyard in the Jewish Quarter. You may notice the "hand" above the arch, this may have been a symbol of a artist, what do you think a hand may have symbolized. Was this the Jewish percusor to CocaCola advertising??

    Visit the old city. This alley is located at the Muslim quarter. The building on the left was the palace of a Mamlukian Princess who is burried in the little building on the right.
