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

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.

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

The best and big ancient door of Jerusalem . I love this place , I toke the hotel near this place. Signed by @spallamax_world✈️🌏🌎🌍❤️

Fantastic site. There are a couple sites that claim to be authentic. No one can be 100% sure. Though this site has the hill of a skull near a garden

The legendary entrance to Jerusalem. An entrance door to Jerusalem's bazar. The wall and the history it represents ptobably make it the most iconic entrance to old Jeruslem.

Beautiful cultural heritage spot. A main attraction and the entrance into the Muslim quarter (as well as Jaffa and plenty of other gates). Heads straight into the Palestinian suq, or open market, rife with spices, clothes, and plenty more. Most places take cash so pull out money in advance. I highly recommend supporting as many reziztance events include financial moves like shutting down shops in commemoration or in solidarity with those oppressed in East Jerusalem or worse then. As well, there are forced closures by border control. Pay special attention to the police and soldiers at the three booths at the entrance to the Gate. They are keen on stopping Palestinians, harrassing them, as a scare tactic, to keep them in line. If you think its for security, count how many measures of defense they (fortified booths, guns, grenades, batons, rifles, helmets, protective gear) vs teenagers with nothing. But grab an ice coffee can from the booths across the street and sit and watch for half an hour. Dont take my word for it. Watch the IDF soldiers tho,
