Jerusalem is a city in the Near East, located in the Judean Mountains, between the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Dead Sea. The Israelis have erected it as the capital of the State of Israel, while the State of Palestine claims its eastern part as its own capital.

Dome of the Rock. Temple Mount. Jerusalem. Israel. Photo taken from far

This is a photo taken from the City of David across the Kidron Valley to Arab housing. The point of interest is the houses clinging to the hillside. There don't appear to be roads between the various houses yet the people living here are able to bring items into their homes.

The Dome of the Rock is an Islamic shrine located on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. This view was taken from the tower of the Lutheran church with the mount of olives in the background

$Jerusalem, 12. 17. 2023:\nThe promenade by the walls surrounding the Old City leads indirectly to the Western Wall, the most important sanctuary of Judaism. It is only a few hundred meters long but one of the most important and most used walkways in Jerusalem. Many tourists as well as locals use this path every day. The walls provided protection and security for the inhabitants of the Old City of Jerusalem for many centuries. The planting of palm trees makes the whole area look picturesque and beautiful.$

$Jerusalem, 11. 13. 2023:\nAccording to local tradition, after the Siege of Jerusalem in 637 by the Rashidun army under the command of Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, Patriarch Sophronius refused to surrender except to the Caliph Omar (579-644) himself. Omar travelled to Jerusalem and accepted the surrender. He then approached the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Patriarch Sophronius invited the Caliph to pray inside the church, but Omar declined so as not to set a precedent and thereby endanger the church's status as a Christian site. Instead he prayed outside, on the steps east of the church. The Mosque of Omar was later built at that site, as evidenced by a stone plate with a Kufic inscription found in 1897 in the area of the eastern or outer atrium of the Constantinian (4th-century) Church of the Holy Sepulchre, defining this area as a mosque.\nThe current building of the mosque has a 15 metres (49 ft) high minaret that was built sometime before 1465 during the Mamluk period, maybe after the 1458 earthquake, and was renovated by Ottoman sultan Abdulmecid I (r. 1839–1860).$
