Discover Jerusalem, the Most Unique City on Earth
"The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven." -- Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
No other city in the world ignites passions like this one. For three of the world’s major religions, it is a holy, sacred place.
For its inhabitants, it is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city with international flair.
For us, it is home.
To be here is to stand at the interface between the past and the future.
If you want to discover what it can mean to you – search the past, dream of the future and ignite your passions – you’ve come to right place.
Here, you’ll find the real insider’s scoop, not just the standard highlights – although I’ll show you those, too, of course. But I’ll also take you by the hand through fascinating byways that no tour bus ever would.
Along the way, I’ll share with you:
And we hope you'll share your Jerusalem tourism tales with us, too!
The Jerusalem Insider's Guide contains practical advice, useful information for visitors to planning their travel to Israel, and tips from someone who really lives here.
Read about where to go, the weather, what to pack for travel to Israel and more. I'll be adding new topics continuously so come back often. If you don't see information you're looking for here, let me know!
The information you will find here is for real, not from some tourism office. I came here as a tourist myself more than 25 years ago. I fell in love with the city and came back as often as I could, until the day I could make it my home. Since then, my family and I have made it our business that anyone who came to visit us here learned to love it as much as we do.
We hope you will, too!
