At The Gates of Yerushalayim Ministries Review

In the tower of David an excellent show of light, wonderful.

It would have been nice if the gate had been built a little wider, but it was all set to go through it.

An introduction to ancient Jerusalem
Get in and get lost in the alleys

History is excellent
A powerful experience

Jerusalem, holy city. I love to be here on Friday night. Yafsky gate with their eternal vanity, running people to the weeping wall and a dying market. Beauty.

Certainly easy to navigate through the old city from here. Ticket office for the walk on the Rampart, by the gate . David Tower next to the Jaffa gate, as the open market. Have a gre as t pair of walking shoes. Enjoy your day, with a open schedule. Things have a schedule of their own

Pretty tourist corner of Jerusalem. Money changers, pizzerias en masse. But if pizza, then of course Jacob's. However, there is much cheaper elsewhere.

The Jaffa Gate or "David s Gate", is one of eight gates in the Old City of Jerusalem, at first it may seem like a very old stone gateway but beside of the history hidden behind the stones it is the gateway to the magnificent Old City of Jerusalem.
Usually around this area are a lot of tourist , so you'll never really feel alone, and as small unwritten tradition in Jerusalem you can but "Begalle" there ,Round crispy bagels and don't you forget to ask the merchant for "Zatar" the local spice , it is meant to be eaten together .

beautiful place
Interesting market
Prices in the sky
Cheat taxi drivers
(The drivers thought I was a tourist and offered to take a taxi to the hotel at 2 times the usual price and they tried to convince me of this, once they realized that I was a local immediately and offered the usual price)

Pocket watches exist in the market !!

Full of Commerce, colorful, cheerful with beautiful architecture

Well there is nothing to add. Try the big falafel patties

Used the restaurant Rossini right next to Jaffa Gate. Not very clean and a bit expensive

The Jerusalem Lights Festival was nice, except for the view.

This place it doesn't really change....busy, full of live and colors

The Jaffa Gate is one of the eight gates in the city wall that lead to the Old City of Jerusalem.

The name derives as the Damascus Gate from the Jerusalem connecting Jaffa Street, which leaves here as Jaffa Street the Old Town. The Crusaders knew the Jaffa Gate as "David's Gate". Meanwhile, the New Gate is closer to Jaffa Street. The Arabic name of the gate refers to the way to Bethlehem and further to Hebron (Arabic al-Chal l) reference, which also begins at this gate.
Contrary to a widespread anecdote, on the occasion of the visit of the German Emperor Wilhelm II in the then Ottoman Empire no breach was struck beside the gate in the Jerusalem city wall. It was then filled in only the ditch between the gate and the citadel, to allow easier access to the old town. The Emperor rode on October 29, 1898 on a white horse through this new opening, which is still one of the most important access roads for motor transport.
British General Allenby, on the other hand, dismounted when he entered the city on December 9, 1917, as pilgrims had for centuries.

One of the entrances to the old city of Jerusalem, fascinating Adidas is baked that evening

An impressive place with history at its best and strong energies

Ancient architecture and modern day kababs!! The definite place to be in Jerusalem!

one of the seven gates in the wall that surrounds the old city in Jerusalem, very nice shops all the way to al Aqsa

So cool to see the bible come alive. They have so many shops and places to eat. Loved it here.

Nice, so much history! Felt safe the whole time in Jerusalem.

best place to start a visit in the old city. park the car nearby.
go down the arab market path , turn left to the golgota place then right towards the wailing wall .

We were there only for a few minutes but from what I saw it was great

A beautiful gate, the only one from which you can start your journey through the walls, definitely worth it!

Lots of people, lots of action and a great place to start your time in the old city. The Tower of David museum and the entrance to the South Rampart walk are both here.

The entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem, the holiest city in the Jewish Faith, the stones, the feelings are extremely powerful just walking thru its arch.

Starting point to get to know the ancient city of Jerusalem

New, clean hotel, courteous staff, diverse and delicious food

The most popular entry into the old city of Jerusalem. The favorite way to access to all neighborhood through David street with the Shouk or the cardo (Jewish quarter) to the Western wall (kotel)
An emblematic hate to The Old City

This is the Gate to Old City Jerushalaim. Years of history contained in and within the walls, unbelievable.

Magical place! Perfectly contained. There must be necessarily!

The more words we speak about Jerusalem, the more hurt it is. Every site in Jerusalem is a piece or a section of the city's many history. Every corner of the streets or neighborhoods of the city are a point of attraction and shofar for this unique city.

I love this place just to hang around and have a coffee with one of those sweet delicious treats. See you there!

Convenient point of introduction to the historic city. Services at your fingertips, information and guides both for a fee and free

A convenient place to start a trip in the Old City, a must for anyone and especially for tourists

The Jaffa Gate over the Mamila Mall on the way to the alleys of the Old City of Jerusalem and the Western Wall.

Very historical, ancient, crusaders, biblical type feel. You feel like you're crossing a door in to history (as you cross in to the old City). Or like you're going on a pilgrimage. Which you likely will be (doing) at the moment you step through it. You kind of feel the energy of many thousands who've done so before you.
