The desert

The Judea Desert is just a short drive away. It is in general the area between Jerusalem and the Dead-Sea, it is surely one of the area's you should visit for a day trip outside the city.

The Menora

This is the classic modern Menora. Located in one of the garden in Jerusalem which I can't right now remember its name, I'll be back to update it here once when I remember it :)

The old city narrow streets

Like in any old city I visit, also in Jerusalem I enjoyed walking around the narrow streets where I didn’t know where exactly the will be ended. I enjoyed the peaceful and relax atmosphere there. But all this can be change as a lightning strike if some fundamental people will deicide that he cannot take it anymore and want to join the 72 virgins in heaven.

King David?

You can never know who you might meet while in Jerusalem. Many actually go to Jerusalem with the hope of the resurrection of Jesus, but then don’t be disappointed if it’s not happened on the day you were there, it might just be tomorrow :)

St. Joseph's French Hospital.

This is the St. Joseph's French Hospital if Jerusalem. Not that I think you might need it, but this is a beautiful piece of architecture just few minutes walk outside the old city.

The old city model Model of Old Jerusalem Review

One place that is unique, is the old city model of the city 2000 years ago which you can see at the hotel hollyland.

Disneyland?

Ha ha, yes, well, not exactly, but when hanging around in some small street you might get surprised by this and have a smile.
If Disney ever plan to open amusement park in Israel, I hope they will not have a legal dispute. :)

The Jerusalem Artists House

Well, it has been ages since I was in this place. I am not sure exactly how this place is running this days, it used to host also some parties and inside was a wonderful bar restaurant where we could eat nice steak and have a beer with it.
Anyhow, ask the local people about this place, and even for some of the exhibitions its worth to visit here.
