    Motorists are not allowed to drive on Shabbat through the streets of the ultra-orthodox neighborhoods such as Mea-Shearim. Any desecration of the jewish Shabbat might be met with shouting and in some cases even violence such as stoning.

    The dress code inside the ultra-orthodox jewish neighborhoods such as Mea-Shearim is strictly observed. Men should cover their heads, as well as married women. Women should wear long skirts and long sleeves blouses. Anyways, at the entrance of all ultra-orthodox neighborhoods you will be warned not to enter in immodest dress. Any transgression in dress and behavior may be met with shouting. If this occurs, you should better leave the quarter at once. Any escalation could lead to violence.

    I bought two scarves in the old city. The vendor put them in a black plastic bag -- so I thought. Fortunately I checked the bag and it was stuffed with old rags. I made such a fuss that he was afraid the cops would come. He gave me the scarves and half my money back

    Jerusalem has always been a volatile city and it's best if you are always aware of your surroundings. it was a young women with an uzi across her chest as she herded a small group of school children throught he streets that reminded me there could be danger.

    You don't want to be in the old city when it gets dark. You will get lost (especially without a map). Forget about asking the way. Some people might be helpful, but most send you the wrong way! Also watch out you get sunburnt very easily here! I burnt my head, arms and shoulders ouch! You can see my sunburnt head on the picture ;o)

    The streets in Jerusalem's Old City can be very confusing. They are very narrow and many look the same. Even with a map one can easily get lost. Walking around can be very interesting because of the monuments, shops, and restaurants. Just keep in mind the one wrong turn and you could end up in East Jerusalem. This area is equally interesting but it is the Arab section and may make some Jews or Christians uncomfortable especially with the current security situation.

    The only drawback if you're staying in the Old Walled City and you've driven there in your rental car, is finding a place to park. Parking is at an all time prime here, and space is really limited. The streets are narrow and parking is difficult if next to impossible; I found that the best place to park is if you enter either through Jaffa Gate or Zion Gate and take a right down the Armenian Patriarchate Road, following it as it curves along the perimeter wall toward the Jewish Quarter (not too far a drive inside). Close to the Western Wall you'll find a fairly large parking lot. It gets pretty full there but it's by far your best and safest bet for parking, especially if it's going to be overnight. We even left a suitcase in the trunk of our car for several days and it was fine. We also found the cost to be reasonable, considering the location: around $10 a day. We made a deal to pay for 3 nights in advance, and it worked out beautifully for us.

    Old City Jerusalem Streets: Male Hookers

  • There are alot of warnings out there about unaccompanied women, but men should take precautions too. Against my better judgement, I started talking to a pushy souvenier store owner, who asked me questions like, "Are you travelling alone?" and "Do you have a girlfriend?" I thought he was just trying to sell me stuff, so I told him I didn't. Soon, however, he stopped trying to sell me stuff and started coming on to me. (Believe me, I know the difference between "You don't have to buy anything, just look" and "I would like you to enjoy my hospitality. [Crotch Grab]") I quickly left the store and went on my way. I was later told he was a male hooker, which was dissapointing in its own way.

    Old City Jerusalem Streets: Dehydration

  • Summer time is when humidity maybe low but the temperature still makes one lose too much water. Many American fitness pros hiking deserts or just exploring the streets of Jerusalem note that drinking bottled water is not enough- that does not compensate for the loss of electrolytes. You would need the Gatorade sports drink, but they don't sell it overhere. What is recommended is Isostar, available as a fashionably packaged powder from any drug store. You'd have to make your own dilution in the biking bottle that comes with the purchase. Drink as you would Gatorade.
