Jerusalem Old City, Jaffa Gate video tour

The highlight of your Israel experience will definitely be Jerusalem, and the odds are that your first encounter with this amazing historic and biblical town will be when you enter the Old City of Jerusalem via Jaffa Gate.
Most places are open so you can still tour Israel during our struggle to get rid of the covid19 coronavirus pandemic, just wear your mask and follow social distancing
Most of us rush throgh the gate to reach our destinations within the walled city of Jerusalem. It might be the wailing Wall, the church of the holy sepulcher, the Armenain quarter, of to visit the Dome of The Rock uppon Temple Mound. Others enter to visit the bazzars for some souvenier shopping , or to find some great hummus for lunch.
Jeffa Gate has been the main entrance to Jerusalem for centuries, and in my opinion has become a "site" itself.
In this video, David Hyman your Israeli tour guide, will share some stories about Jaffa Gate : builder of the walls at 1538 CE, Sulieman the Magnificent, the story of the two tombs of the so called Ottoman engenieers, the story of the dedication pillar to Maximus the Legate (commander) of the Roman 10th Legion and the story of the removal of part of the wall to allow the imperial visit of German Keiser Wilehelm the second in October 1898.
These are some of the amazing unknown sites in the old city of Jerusalem

I enjoyed this video and the unique tibits no one else seems to point out - thank you :)

[michellejackson]

Fantastic videos.
Thank you for the tours and the information... i love the stories you tell at each place.

If possible, it would be great if you could do a video of Jaffa. I know you did one about the port, but one about old jaffa itself would be great

Please search for the Jerusalem film shot by a cameraman for the Lumiere brothers in 1896. The Jaffa gate is part of the footage. You can't see the moat, but can see a barrier wall that leads directly from the gate into the city that follows the marker line you pointed out in your video.

Very interesting when we were last in Jerusalem a year and a half ago we stayed in the Imperial Hotel. You passes this imposing building. A video could be made on this building alone as it was there when Allenby arrived. The hotel is also remarkable as the views from the roof garden overlook the tower of David and the rest of the old city. Also the Imperial seems to be the only historic hotel in the old city.
I know there is a dispute currently going on with the hotel.
Thanks for the video It would be good to do a video on the wall of old Jerusalem as I didn’t get a chance to do this on my last visit.
It would be lovely also to find out about the first settlements outside the wall. Also would like to know more about Zacharias tomb and the mount of Olives and the cementaries.

If they asked for more money 💰 and killed by sultan army they don't make their graves like that . That Turbun and proper graves shows they must be important .
