Like always, entrance to the Old City.
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
Amazing experience! The history here is hard to fathom! Bucket list item for sure!
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.
Damascus Gate was amazing, it was so beautiful especially when it was a sunny clear day like it was so astonishing so happy I was able to get to see it and go through it! Simply breathtaking loved the architecture of the gate just amazing, the surroundings were a site to see as well nice place to picnic by or just to rest and enjoy your time.
Nice architecture at the actual gate, but you can feel the hatred from the arabs that took over the area. General feeling of being unsafe. Passages full of stores selling cheap quality souvenirs.
Beautiful place. By far the most ornate gate into the old city. Lots of shops and places to eat. Very crowded tho.
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!
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!
You can check the gate of the roman period and walk in side the walls and the ancient towers that was built before jerusalem had the walls. As well you can see the modern gate which is dated to the ottomon period. You can enoy the market inside the old city as well.
שער כניסה למזרח ירושלים, לוקח אותך לעולם אחר , טוב לנפש
Despite the tension, this glorious entrance to the amazing multi-everything city is getting tempting. And the brave ones will step into a big wow market with widest range of foods, spices, clothes and so much more.
