jerusalem its a great city its the capital of israel and its an very very special city he have evrything beside nothing its really cool

Loved Jerusalem. Don't bother with an expensive hotel, you only sleep there. Most of the time you're walking about. I stayed at the King George Hostel. The restuarants are a bit touristy, bit side street ones are pretty good. Hit the old city and go to the real NY deli, ask for a pastrami sandwich, and after you eat it, the butcher will tell you that it was turkey pastami. I went to Mc Davids, and they do serve cheeseburgers. Annoyed by the guys who walk around barefoot all day, thinking they are the messiah. Most are American. Go figure. Annoyed by all the fundamentalist christian tour groups wandering around in packs of 40, with a special names, like Israelites or Pharaohs. If you go in March. Bring warm clothes, really.

King David Hotel. A beautiful veranda and a historical must-see! At least that's what I think...

Ask your hotel about visiting Bethlehem. Most of the diamond cutters have free tours but you have to stop and visit their factories and showroom...not a hardship since this is an interesting experience and a free one if you do not get sucked into buying diamonds. The van from the diamond cutters will pick you up and you have a couple of hours to visit Bethlehem.

sleep at jaffa gate hostel wear u ca sleep on the roof overlooking the dome of the rock and all of jeruselem so magical the place is run by an intregig america african and his family who wear hand made dresses and hats and blow sheep horns at night. go to the market for a marvelous juice bar inspired by a jewish prophet who concocted certain blends for different health conditions intreging ingredients and tastes. go to the jouralists hotel on the palestinia side that has a beautiful courtyard a ice place for drinks. aother hostel o the vie de la rosa full of fundamtalist christians it looks like a cave full of murials and plastic flowers, a very trippy place with some tripped out characters but therre are bed bugs there. visit the african village o the holy scelprica and all the cute charming bars, go for colon therapy in the authodox part of town.

I absolutely recommend Petra Hostel inside Jaffa Gate. Stay on the roof in your tent - it's the most amazing experience!

this is the place you really gotta see! amazing.

Try Jerusalem Hotel. They have their own web pages with contacts, which are really helpful, because you need to book in advance. Exactly it is not a hotel but a hostel, but with high standards and the price is also higher. Anyway its worth it.

in Jerusalem, you are in THE SAINT CITY, even its stuked into four pieces. you FEEL where Jesus prayed, where he suffered, where he died. i was there in 2005, the 1st year that tourists came back after 5 too dangerous years . now, you'd better not go.
