Jerusalem

Jerusalem sits in the Judean Mountains in Israel’s Jerusalem District, where limestone ridges divide the Mediterranean and Dead Sea drainage basins. Its walled Old City, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981, holds places of profound significance to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount stand within a compact network of stone lanes, markets and religious institutions. Beyond the walls, neighbourhoods such as Mahane Yehuda add a contemporary market culture to the city’s daily rhythm.
