We went for a walk in the Old City of Jerusalem today entering through Bab al-Amoud (Damascus Gate). The present walls around the old city were rebuilt and restored by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman in 1537. The weather here is sunny, brisk and invigorating and there were a lot of people out today on Saturday. The entrance to Bab al-Amoud was crowded with hawkers (vendors). Inside the old city there were a few groups of European tourists and quite a few locals out shopping.
Can't wait to see it for myself.
