Jerusalem, resting in the Judean Hills, provides the
tourist with both a breathtaking and spiritual experience never to be
forgotten. Steeped in history for the world's three main
religions, visitors to Jerusalem attest to its uniqueness, and an
ambience that sets it aside from every other city on earth. |

The walls
of the old city glow with 2500 years of history, for Jews,
Muslims, and Christians alike. In the alleys of The Old City,
you will feel as if you have gone back to an ancient time. Yet
not five minutes away, you will enjoy an enchanting neighborhood
built in the late 19th century - Yemin Moshe - a picturesque
neighborhood of homes, artists' studios and art galleries. Named
after Sir Moses Montefiore, it was built as the first
neighborhood outside the walls of Jerusalem's Old City. |

Western
Wall, pictured on the left, is the last remaining wall from
the Second Temple destroyed in 70CE by the Romans. Many leave in a
personal note in the wall with a wish for the future.
The
Haas Promenade (
in Talpiot ) has the most magnificent view of the Old City ( and a
cute restaurant in the middle of the promenade open on Fridays and
Saturdays only with one of the best views in the world!) This
unique promenade features paths of Jerusalem stone, wooden
pergolas, and terraces landscaped with 600 olive trees.

Shiva is a pedestrian shopping area in West Jerusalem, featuring a
wide variety of restaurants and quaint shops. The entire street is
renovated from early 1900's buildings. and is a perfect place to
have breakfast at one of the many outdoor cafes.

cannot be matched throughout Jerusalem. |
