"The Holiest of Holy Cities" Jerusalem by mafi_moya

Jerusalem Travel Guide: 1,737 reviews and 4,599 photos

Jerusalem, or Al Quds in its Arabic name, is without a doubt my favourite city in Israel-Palestine.

Three of the world's largest religions have their holiest sites literally within a stones throw of each other and the city is a fascinating blend of conservative religion and modern life. It manages to feel totally exotic and mysterious, and yet completely familiar all at the same time.

    Wish I could visit the Temple Mount. I was there many years ago,. Time to update your tips, though. Ariel Sharon was never the president - he was the prime minister. But not anymore...

    I totally agree about Jerusalem seeming so 'familiar'....

    All of your tips are very good reasons to visit Jerusalem. Your pictures seem to show a 'quieter' Old Town than the one I remember ;-\
