Jerusalem
As the epicenter
of Judaism,
Christianity
and Islam,
Jerusalem calls the faithful and
the secular alike to walk back
in time through the labyrinth
of its ancient streets. Few will
forget the power of standing
before the Western Wall,
passing beneath the domed
arches of the Al-Aqsa mosque,
tracing Jesus’ journey through
the Stations of the Cross along
the Via Dolorosa, or looking
out from the nearby hills to see
the limestone architecture that
transforms Jerusalem into a city
of gold. But Jerusalem is much
more than the historical sites
and gravitas for which it is so
commonly known. World-class
museums and galleries, the
bustling cafés of the German
Colony, and a battery of
top-notch luxury hotels reveal
the modern side of this
ancient city.
