Get ready for a trip full of history and mysticism...
Dear visitor, welcome to my page about Jerusalem, the Golden City (Yerushalayim shel Zahav, in Hebrew). The Holy City, capital of the modern State of Israel and a holy place for the three most practiced monotheist religions of the World.
Jerusalem is the holiest city of Judaism, the site of Mount Moriah, where the Holy Temple (Beit Ha'mikdash, in Hebrew) of Solomon once stood. The second holiest city (after Vatican City) for the Roman Catholic Christians, and among the holiest places for other Christian streams, where Jesus of Nazareth spent the last days of his mission on this earth. The third holiest city (after Mecca and Medina) for Islam, where the prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven.
In this site, I will add tips and travelogues based on multiple trips I have done to this mystical place. There are already many interesting VT websites that will provide you with useful and very detailed information about this city. I would recommend you to check those sites if you are planning a trip to this sacred place.
Nevertheless, here you will find complementary information for your trip to the City of Gold. Please, come back regularly; new things will be added in the meantime. For any question regarding Jerusalem and surroundings, do not hesitate to contact me. |

Care to be dressed yourself by modest way! Especially important for females: no short dress, no open shoulders/hands, etc – it’s for your safety and comfort. | Pelourinho Sat Dec 2, 2006 02:48 UTC
I remember that song from 1973, when I was 20 and visited Israel for the first time (3 months). I stayed in Yerushalayim this summer with my family, and I want to tell you that I support Israel! | Diana75 Wed Jul 26, 2006 10:19 UTC
Nice page and tips, Raul! I hope you'll find the time to write more. Thanks for visiting my HP. Greetings from Bucharest. Diana | gilabrand Mon Feb 13, 2006 14:24 UTC
That was fun, Raul! I really enjoyed meeting you. The rest of my trip to Beersheva was wonderful - and as you see, I'm back at the computer... |
