Damascus Gate

I absolutely loved it here, to be honest the summer crowds can be a bit much. It gets pretty cramped on the walkways, so if you can, try to go early or on a weekday so you actually have some space to enjoy without having to navigate the crowds

Entering the Old City through Damascus Gate felt like stepping into another world. The stone streets, small shops, and early morning activity made the experience feel authentic and full of life. It’s one of the best places to start exploring Jerusalem

Beautiful square, and best place to relax and have lunch 🥙 The stray cats are friendly and like pets and food. Directly in from here is the best market street, continues all the way down.

Fascinating place,you feel that you are back in time. You get the feeling that you are in a far away exotic country. I felt a little bit nervous but nothing happened. Lots of foreign workers taking pictures, shopping and taking advantage of the good prices.

good reference to take. big and in direct north (en plein nord :) to start orientate in the old city that is a maze to visitor :))

Very beatiful gate in the old city. Open to the muslim quarter of the old city. Important police presence Dont miss at the left, before the entrance the "CITY GATE". An old city gate from Roman period. Inside you can see the Roman tower and go upstairs

SUPPORT EAST JERUSALEM. Equally important, as a foreigner, try to spot all the hidden-in-plain-sight acts of political aggression by the o66upying forces. When youre there, it is a form of protective presence. Use your privilege for good. Also, the street kebabs are to delightful. Bring cash.

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!
