The constant turmoil
In a nutshell
Unique and a must at least once in your life time..
59 Reviews When I was in Jerusalem I of course visited the Western Wall. You have surely heard about it. It's an important place for the Jews and many are praying there. You can write a prayer on a paper and put it into the wall if you want. There is countless of prayers and when the wall is full, they will...

47 Reviews A trip to Jerusalem, especially if Christian, Muslim or Jewish, will want to include a visit to the Mount of Olives. A great view over the Jerusalem where the Temple on the Mount is located, the old walls that included the Gates of Jubilee, and over the Garden of Gethsemane My first visit here we...
22 Reviews Israel is the attraction for many people to see the land of the People of the Book - both Jews and Christians - walk where Jesus and experience the Bible opening up in front of them. The Garden of Gethsemane is of course on the usual Bibilical trail - significant for Jesus last few hours before...
60 Reviews Revered by Muslims as the place where the prophet made a miraclous night journey to. The enclosing mosque was built in 691. Today the dome of the Rock is Jerusalem's most famous and instantly recognizable landmark.

31 Reviews A bus is the cheapest way to get from Jerusalem to Ben Gurion International Airport. The cost of a one-way ticket to the airport is NIS 23 ($5-6), which includes a free transfer ticket ("kartis hemshekh") for the shuttle that takes you from the junction to the airport itself. There are two airport...
7 Reviews A convenient and inexpensive way to get to Ben Gurion Airport from Jerusalem is to go by Nesher Taxi (nesher = eagle). This is a shared taxi (usually a van, with place for luggage) that you order by phone about half a day in advance. You tell the dispatcher when your flight is and he tells you what...
11 Reviews This shop sells much more than jewelry but this site only allows for one choice. What makes this place so special is the family that runs it. First of all, it's been in the same family and in the same location for 384 years!! As a retailer, I can tell you you can't stay in business that long and not...
4 Reviews Malha mall (in Hebrew Kenion Malha) is also called the Jerusalem mall is a mall that was build in the 90s in Jerusalem on a neighborhood called Malha .

32 Reviews YOM HAZIKARON Memorial Day - A day honoring Israeli soldiers who have died in the country's neverending wars - over 23,085 soldiers at last count...It is always the day before Independence Day - usually in May, but sometimes in late April. This is a national holiday, not a religious one. Shops are...
21 Reviews Good Friday, the day on which Jesus was crucified, according to the Christian belief, is a festive day in the Old City of Jerusalem. Pilgrims from every continent flock to the Via Dolorosa Church of the Holy Sepulchre. They carry wooden crosses of different sizes, small ones which they hold close...
17 Reviews A recent post claimed that a merchant in Jaffa Gate had inflated the charge slip when the traveller bought some stuff, billing it to "Maraka gift shop" or somesuch. This case sounds eerily similar to an experience I had on June 2. What I did was to obtain shekels at a currency exchange in Jaffa...
3 Reviews This is the place where you stop being a traveller and you start being considered a possible threat. When the hotel receptionjist told me that I should be in the airport 3 hours in advance, I thought: yes as usual but 1 hour and half will be enough. Fortunatly for some reasons we were in the airport...
1 Review I always take a suitcase on wheels. It's a little bumpy on the uneven streets of Old Jerusalem, but better than carrying the load. I was there the end of June and it was very warm, lightweight clothes are a must. Also, I was told to wear a hat and glad I did. You can buy what you forgot. The views...
1 Review take your backpack with you! There is lots of climbing, walking and travelling around to do here! Walking shoes, slippers, light clothes and a sweater, long sleave shirt, trousers or dress for the religious areas and for the evening. Bring along a small medical kit and always have a bottle of...
48 Reviews This threatening warnings mark the entrance of the ultra-orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim. "To girls and women we beg with our all hearts: Please do not pass through our neighborhood with immodest clothes", then the list of immodest clothes follows. Interesting also to see, in the last sentence,...
22 Reviews Queen Helen Coptic Orthodox church is located near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. It includes one of the ancient sights in Jerusalem. It's a cistern (a water well). It was hewn in the rock and later discovered by Queen Helen, Constantine's mother in the 4th century. It provided water for...
2 Reviews Beitar Jerusalem is one of the most famous football clubs in Israel. The club was founded in 1936 and is one of the best football clubs in the country. The local stadium of Beitar Jerusalem is "Teddy Stadium" in malha.
15 Reviews The Dung Gate is also known as Sha'ar Ha'ashpot or Gate of Silwan. The gate is situated near the southeast corner of the Old City, southwest of the Temple Mount. The gate is the closest to the Western Wall and is a main passage for vehicles. Directly behind the gate lies the entrance to the...
21 Reviews Gehenna, gehinnam, or gehinnom are terms derived from a geographical site in Jerusalem known as the Valley of Hinnom, one of the two principal valleys surrounding the Old City. Gehenna is cited in the New Testament and in early Christian writing to represent the final place where the wicked will be...
