Jerusalem-Holy City-1

Yeah!! Jerusalem is holy to three major religions of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity and Islam and it is located in the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.

Location: Western Asia. Israel

Jerusalem - three religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) is a holy place, it is Israel's largest city and capital of the country `s . It came to be known as the Hebrew city of gold, the first century charming unique location, rubbing shoulders with conservative century, each jostling for legitimacy and space, and where the picture for "old" neighborhood Nestle is shining high-rise apartment and office towers. It is one of those places have to be seen to be believed.

Old City and Walls form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Small ancient city is home to sites holy to Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and really amazing.

As small as the Old City, it has four different regions with different cultures and attitudes.

-Christian Quarter is what you get from the Jaffa Gate.
-Armenian Quarter is also Christian, but different too.
-Jewish Quarter is the heart of Jewish life in the Old City.
-Muslim Quarter is the largest and host the Dome of the Rock and other famous landmarks. Despite its name, there are  several Jewish families living in it.

German colony in West Jerusalem, near the south-east of the city center. This is a wonderful place to drink coffee, eat in restaurants. You may hear more "Anglos" to speak English than in Hebrew on these streets.
