Mamilla shopping district: Pedestrian-only shopping street

Mamilla was an early neighborhood constructed outside Jerusalem's Old City west from the Jaffa Gate.
Mamilla was originally established in the late 19th century as a mixed Jewish-Arab central business district. After 1967, the government approved an urban renewal project for Mamilla. Land was apportioned to residential and commercial zones, including hotels and office space, in what was to become one of the longest and most costly development plans in the history of modern Jerusalem. Most of the plan is finally realized with the opening of its major mall and entertainment components.
Pedestrian-only Mamilla shopping mall has been touted as a luxury destination.

Victor Bazaar: Shops for Russian speaking people

Everybody knows that there are a lot of Russian speaking people in Israel. In Russia there is a well-known song by Vladimir Visotsky with such words “Israeli population is a quarter Russian”. That’s why I wasn’t surprised to see many advertisements on Russian in Jerusalem and all over Israel, such as this advertisement:

Victor Bazaar. We are speaking Russian.
Jewels, brilliants, gold, silver, antiques, Russian icons, all kinds of souvenirs.

Avtimos market in Muristan: Souvenirs from the Holy Land

he Muristan is a complex of streets and shops in the Christian Quarter of the Old City. The site was the location of the first hospital of the Knights of St. John (Hospitallers), also known as the Knights of Malta.

It includes the Avtimos market close to the German Church of the Redeemer. A grand fountain was designed in the center of the market, honoring the Sultan Abed al-Hamid II (1876–1909) reign of 25 years. It was constructed in 1903 in the newly designed market.
