The Western Wall and Temple Mount at night
Jerusalem (Hebrew: ירושלים Yerushalayim, Arabic: القدسal-Quds) is the capital and largest city of Israel, even though it is not universally recognized as Israel's capital (most countries maintaining embassies in Israel keep them in nearby Tel Aviv}. It is a holy city to three religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), and one of the oldest cities in the world. The City of Gold, as it has come to be known in Hebrew, is a fascinatingly unique place where the first century rubs shoulders with the twenty-first century, each jostling for legitimacy and space, and where picturesque "old" neighborhoods nestle against glistening office towers and high-rise apartments. It is one of those places which has to be seen to be believed.
[edit]Districts
Jerusalem is a big place, and can be divided up into a few districts.
The Old City and its Walls form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This tiny ancient city is home to holy sites for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and is truly breathtaking.
West Jerusalem is the undisputably Jewish-Israeli part of Jerusalem, also known as New Jerusalem; it is the modern commercial heart of the city, having become the focus for development in the capital from the time of the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 until the Six Day War in 1967.
East Jerusalem is, roughly, the Eastern side of Jerusalem, and is made of territory acquired by Israel during the Six Day war of 1967. It is home to nearly 200,000 Jews and is also home to most of Jerusalem's Muslim and Christian populations of approximately 250,000.
Me'a Shearim is the area of Jerusalem inhabited largely by ultra-Orthodox Jewish people, modest dress is required. The area looks like an old Polish town from 1800.
The German Colony is a West Jerusalem neighborhood south-east of the city center. It's a wonderful place to drink coffee and to eat in restaurants. You may hear more "Anglos" speaking English than Hebrew on these streets.
Ein Kerem is a (relatively) secluded neighborhood in West Jerusalem that maintains village atmosphere. It is surrounded by picturesque hills dotted with olive and cypress trees, home to artists and sculptors who have opened numerous galleries. Several churches are built on the site believed to be the birthplace of John the Baptist. Before 1948, the site was an Arab village called 'Ayn Karim and before that, the Jewish village of Beit HaKerem.
