#Western Wall
The most iconic symbol of the Jewish Quarter is Western Wall. (for sure!!) The only way I go without getting lost is to Western Wall LOL hahah, like it provides direction to its believers after they pray here.
actually I'm not allowed to take photos here (sorry><)
The Western Wall is the most holy place accessible to the Jewish people. Known in recent centuries as the “Wailing Wall,” this was built by Herod the Great as the retaining wall of the Temple Mount complex. The plaza was created as an area for prayer when Israel captured the Old City in 1967.
Three times a day the Jewish people pray (morning, afternoon, evening) and they do so with phylacteries tied around their forehead and wrist and with the white and blue prayer shawls. The people usually cried during or after praying, which is impressive for me to feel how importance is religions to some of the people in the world. It's not difficult to find believers from all over the world and they would walk backward when they leave. Believers are not limited to those who wearing the traditional clothes, some with fashionable clothes are praying here too. I like this place this most because it is amazing, like once in a life experience.
After passing through the tunnel, you will see Machane Yehuda market. Machane Yehuda integrates the old and the new part of the city. Both a bustling marketplace and a neighborhood, it incorporates food, drink, shopping, bars, restaurants. The shuk still retains its most important characteristics: it remains authentic, with all the flavors and aromas, the colors and the traders' interaction with the crowds. You could find different kinds of souvenir, traditional handicraft goods and even food here. But I would say the price here is slightly higher than other areas.
#Davidson Center
Another than Western Wall, the Davidson Center both a museum and an archaeological park. You’ll find archeological finds and remains dating from the First Temple and the Second Temple periods. Admire the City Wall, the pilgrims’ staircase leading to the Temple, and the ancient ritual immersion baths. Wander around the site and walk on an ancient main street where many pilgrims had walked before you. It is amazing to walk when it is sunset, the wall color and the sky match each other (and a must to take a photo of yourself too! Because it makes you look obviously that you are in Jerusalem LOL hahahhahah)
One of those “Cardo” streets crosses the Jewish Quarter, all the way from Damascus Gate to David Street. The existence of this street means that life and action were always present in this area. During Shabbat, all the restaurants and shops are closed and that is interested to see how people follow their religious traditions. You won't see any single shops opened here during the time.
