Downtown of Jordanian Jerusalem — A Tour of Bab a-Zahra

Thursday, December 17, 2026

14:00–17:00

Yad Izhak Ben Zvi, אבן גבירול 14, ירושלים

A unique tour to get to know the "downtown" of Jordanian Jerusalem, which existed across the border that divided the city, within touching distance, "so close and off limits to us". We hear about the businesses and institutions that gave the area its cosmopolitan character and its special charm, and which are unfamiliar to most of the Israeli public. Meeting point: Damascus Gate light rail stop Additional notes: modest dress, comfortable shoes Recommended parking: Safra Square car park and the surrounding streets Modest dress (shirts with sleeves, long trousers) Suitable for families Partially accessible tour, for non-motorized wheelchairs Low difficulty level: includes site visits and short walks in urban and natural terrain.
