Detailed Description
On the tour you will see and experience the rich and fragile nature of Jerusalem's peoples and places, so deeply connected and yet deeply divided. The tour will start at New Gate with a short introduction to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict focusing on the current realities in Jerusalem.
From there we will cross over to the West side of the road and from the steps of the city council building we will look onto road #1, dividing East and West Jerusalem. We will continue from there by walking into the neighborhood of Musrara, located right on the seam line, where we will observe what life was like for the Middle Eastern Jews whom were placed there in the extreme conditions of the border. From Musrara we will travel north, along the seam line road, and have a peek into the Ultra Orthodox neighborhood of Jerusalem, Mea Shearim.
