Jerusalem from a Different Angle

Hey!

My name is Allon. Great to meet you.

I’m excited to show you my city, Jerusalem. It’s such a unique place with a mix of different cultures, history, and amazing stories.

Come explore with me!

The Old City is like stepping into a different world.

There are four quarters: Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Armenian.

Each has its own vibe, history, and amazing food!

The Western Wall is a special place for many people.

My family sometimes comes here to pray or just to feel connected to something bigger.

I know it sounds strange, but Jerusalem is a city that cannot be taken for granted.

You are invited to listen to this podcast, in which Noam, the presenter, talks about his special connection with the city where he was born.

In the wall of Jerusalem there are 7 open gates, and several more sealed gates.

The Damascus Gate is considered the most beautiful of them all.
It is called in Hebrew “שער שכם” and in Arabic “باب العامود“.

Explore the gate, using this unteractive 3D model.

Here is the location of the Damascus Gate on the map of Jerusalem.

Feel free to scroll and identify other famous sites in its vicinity.

If you are festival lovers, Jerusalem offers you plenty of options.

Every year, the city hosts various cultural events:

The international film festival.

The Festival of Light, where impressive light displays are projected onto the city’s walls.

The International Oud Festival, and more.

Take a look and see for yourselves.

A truly multicultural city!
