The most panoramic view of Jerusalem, together with the Judean Desert, this is the perfect place to end the #99 bus tour, especially at the twilight hour, when the light gives real meaning to the description "Jerusalem of Gold."

Overlooking the old city and mount of olives is this gem- lavender bushes everywhere and walking paths down the side of mount.. it is well worth finding for a time out from hectic touring. Not to be missed. Plus the Muslim call to prayer is electrify if you catch it at the right time . For some reason the cab didn’t know how to get me there and when we got off a few blocks away nobody could point to where it was - like they hadn’t heard of it.

This is a forested mountain area within 15 minutes or less of the Jerusalem city limit. It is ideal for hiking, biking, relaxing, picnicking, barbecue, seeing ancient terraced farming, exploring ancient buildings, and of brave- swimming in reservoirs of water. As such, is a great and easy get-away to nature, to do real but non stressful hiking. ... and that’s exactly what we did when “I visited this place” yesterday with a trio of eleven, six and three year old boys. We hiked the first segment of the eight kilometer loop of Har Eitan (known in English as “Mount A. Tahnn). As you can see by my attached “helpful” photos, the trail is very wide and there are expansive open views and also wildflowers in season. As stated in the photo descriptions, it was surprisingly not crowded on the trail, although the parking lot was full.

We were delighted with this walk from Jaffa Gate to Herod's Gate. So fun. A different perspective on the city.

This place filled all my needs. The cafe sells kebabs. It sells beers. It sells good coffee. The people are nice. It is a stop off point if the Lions Gate (East Jerusalem) is your entry to Old City. The church has a grotto including a tasteful good value gift shop and lush old art. It also has the place (the fourth station of the cross) where Jesus traditionally met Mary on his walk to death. It is quiet. It is cool in all senses of the word. Go to it.
