High in the Judean hills is the City of Gold; one of the oldest cities in the world and certainly one of the most beautiful and magical. Jerusalem holds deep meaning for Christians, Jews and Muslim; each of these faiths has holy sites within the city. Jerusalem’s history has been traced back more than 7,000 years; many years later Jerusalem was the setting for Biblical events and much of the Old City of Jerusalem still looks the way it did when Jesus walked the cobbled streets. The Old City of Jerusalem glistens in the Middle Eastern sun as all the structures are of white Jerusalem stone and many are topped with copper domes, steeples and towers. Visitors to Jerusalem can explore the four quarters within the Old City walls – the Armenian, Muslim, Christian and Jewish Quarters where some of the world’s most famous landmarks are located like the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Dome of the Rock and the Wailing Wall.
