"sandravdp's new Jerusalem Page" a Jerusalem Travel Page by sandravdp

I visited old Jerusalem, when things were rather calm there. I stayed in the old city, just within the walls. I was impressed by the nice old buildings and small almost underground shoppingstreets that kept getting up on downstairs. Also saw that the city, though it was divided into an Armenian, Christian, Arab and Jewish part, was rather peaceful. Arabs and Jews for example were friendly to eachother. Outside the old city, things were less peaceful. In the new Jerusalem around it the neighbourhoods had a hostile feeling.
