Spinning around the Old City

Driving clockwise around the Old City of Jerusalem on Sultan Suleiman Street gives you the opportunity to view some lesser known sites. The first thing you notice on the right is the busy Damascus Gate (Sha’ar Shchem).

It's busy down below. Trust me.

On the left is the amazing Rockefeller Museum – well worth a visit. But just before it remember to look right for the Cave of Zecharia.


Following the road around the Old City, one can see the Hebrew University campus in the distance, and the Mount of Olives and Valley of the Kings just below you on the left.

Before you reach Sha’ar HaAshpot (Dung Gate), make a left down to the Givati parking lot and take a tour at the City of David excavations in the City of David (Silwan) – you won’t be disappointed.
