Damascus Gate

Absolutely stunning, the architect of the buildings are just unique. The beauty of the Homeland, Jerusalem, Palestine is breathtaking! Going through the old city and shopping, you will see fresh fruits, fresh bread, falafel etc! The smell of the food will make you purchase something to eat along with a drink such as the lemonade with mint ! The PALESTINIAN people are just so generous, genuine and giving. Great souvenirs from all over!

Amazing palce to sit with your friends 😎 Nice view on the old city ☺️ Food shops are available 🙏 Hotel are close to you 🤠 This is the main gate for the old city especially for Muslim quarter

Walking through Damascus gate in the old city of Jerusalem is one of the most amazing things you will do in your life. Walk through the old city gates, Jaffa gate, Zion gate lion gate and Damascus Walk through via de lorosa and feel the steps of Jesus Every place over there is the birth of history

Historical wall gate in Jerusalem which serves as one of the entry gates to the old town of Jerusalem. I nearly skipped entering the gate as I was not aware of the old town situated inside, but somehow noticed people passing through the gate, so I went inside just to see what’s inside. I was pretty amazed and fascinated by the narrow alleyways, intricate maze-like stone-paved streets that would just go inside the houses. The street had a covered roof, and I saw mosques, churches, and synagogues as I searched my path in between the corridors and was finally able to get back to the Damascus Gate. Highly recommend to visit if you are in Jerusalem

Beautiful, ornate gate, by far the most impressive entrance to the Old City. Has real atmosphere and character. The gate takes you directly into the Muslim Quarter/Arab Shuk, and it’s about a 10 minute walk to the Kotel if you go straight down Rechov Hagai. In the past Damascus Gate has been a flashpoint for violence between Arabs and Jews, but due to extremely heavy police presence, it seems to have calmed down in recent years. At any time of day, there’s a steady stream of visibly Jewish people entering, mostly from Meah Shearim/Beit Yisrael, but as stunning as Damascus Gate Plaza is, I never feel entirely comfortable there as a Jew, and it’s probably not the safest way to enter the Old City if you’re visibly Israeli. But for any hardcore lover of Jerusalem and its history, it’s a must-see, and to be fair, you’ll almost definitely be fine.

Beautiful ottoman built gate lots of historic sights in and around the gate also the main entrance to the old city Bazaar you can go straight ahead into the Bazaar but I suggest going to the right into the small streets and alleyways many shops and restaurants

One of my favorite places in the world! I’ve always felt very safe and to me it’s magical There’s lots of security and the shopping experience is great! Bargain hunt experience the wonders of this place Stop for coffee, make sure to have comfortable shoes! Lots of walking! Follow directions and don’t wonder around. Respect and you will be respected is that simple! I’ve met wonderful people and had great conversations Learn and enjoy, so much history and diverse cultures. Damascus gate will take you all the way to the wailing wall. Make sure to have your shoulders covered. Enjoy!

Theost beautyful gate of the old city. If you enter the old city look to your left and you discover one layer more down a romantic gate. As soon you enter you are in a different world. Arab women selling the fruits and veggies of the season, colours, different dress codes. Colours, smells... Walk down to the fork. If you turn there to the left and continue the road it will lead you to the western wall, the most important place of Judaism, and if you turn right it will lead you to the holy Sepulchre. As soon the street splits in a very narrow one you know it is time to turn right. And if you follow the crowd it is the way to the most important place of Christianity.
