Jerusalem is revered as the beating heart of Palestine, although many Palestinian residents have now moved to Ramallah after being evicted from their homes.
It is still a very special place, as would befit the home of the Dome of the Rock and al Aqsa mosque, one of the most important sites in Islam.
Jerusalem city is intoxicating, inescapable and unforgettable, from the beautiful walls stretching out from Damascus gate to the sensory paradise of the Old City souqs.
Some of the larger surrounding municipalities include Al Ramm, Abu Diss and Al Eizariya.
