What is Jerusalem

Jerusalem (Hebrew: ירושלים Yerushalayim, Arabic: القدسal-Quds) is the three times holy city (to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), whilst being the modern capital of the State of Israel and the country`s largest city. The City of Gold, as it has come to be known, is a fascinatingly unique place where the first century rubs shoulders with the twenty-first century, each jostling for legitimacy and space, and where picturesque "old" neighborhoods nestle against glistening office towers and high-rise apartments. It is one of those places which has to be seen to be believed.

Jerusalem was great, but terrible traffic. Less than hour drive from Tel Aviv, but it took almost another hour to get to the old town. spectacular though!
