Israel travel information.</p> <p>Everybody has heard of Jerusalem ( Yerushalayim in Hebrew, al-Quds in Arabic), and most people have some image of it in their heads, but almost everyone who comes here is surprised at what they find. Sacred to three religions and once considered to be the centre of the world, the Holy City is, for all its fame, quite a small town, far from opulent, provincial in many ways and conservative in outlook. But if it fails to live up to its fabled magnificence, it is still a fascinating place, full of museums, religious sites and ancient relics, at their densest in the Old City, where almost every building has a story. Here you'll find three of the world's most venerated institutions: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre , held to be the location of the Crucifixion, and the holiest site in Christendom; the Western (Wailing) Wall , last remnant of the Second Temple and most sacred Jewish relic in the world; and the Dome of the Rock , third most hallowed location in Islam as the spot from where the Prophet Mohammed made his night ascent to heaven.</p> <p>Even without these monuments, and even to a non-believer, Jerusalem has much to offer - from the narrow alleys and vibrant souqs of the magnificent walled Old City , within which lies the Via Dolorosa (the path taken by Jesus to the Cross), to the churches and tombs of the Mount of Olives , and the expensive shops and lively bars of downtown West Jerusalem. In fact, Arab East Jerusalem and Israeli West Jerusalem offer the visitor two worlds for the price of one: the tradition and relaxed pace of the Arab world, and the cosmopolitan glitz of the West. And the Palestinian fellahin and Bedouin who meet their urban compatriots in the markets and shops of the East, and the Israeli farmers (from kibbutzim and moshavim in the foothills and the plain) who do much the same in the West, add further to the diverse cultural mix.</p> </body>
