Located on a plateau in the Judean Mountains, Jerusalem is the oldest city in the Middle East and on Earth, located between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. Its history dates back to the 18th-19th century. In fact, and later, the city of Jerusalem was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site List in 1981. Jerusalem is the spiritual confluence of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, a holy place attracting over one-third of the world’s population. The city has also been a common site of controversy between Israel and Palestine, both claiming the holy city as their capital. The Walls of Jerusalem surrounding the old city is quite a significant structure and has stood steadfast defending the city since ancient times. The walls stretch a total length of 4018 meters, rises to a height of 12 meters, and has an average thickness of 2.5 meters. There are thirty-four watchtowers and seven main gates opened for traffic. The city has stood strong in the face of extreme adversities and had been a witness to many power struggles over the years.
Jerusalem's public transport includes the Egged Bus and the Light Rail systems. A round-trip tour bus (bus number 99) is available for tourists, which lets them hop on and off as it roams around the city. Alternatively, you can pre-book a taxi or hire a one on the street.

The starting fare of both the Egged Bus and Light Rail transports is around 6.9 ILS.

As a city of experiences— Jerusalem’s nightlife has many stories. Jerusalem is truly a city of different experiences— spiritual with a contemporary touch to it. The exotic flavors of the quiet city’s nightlife might catch you offguard. Jerusalem is home to a young and vibrant population, which has raised the demand for exclusive bars, clubs, and other destinations for its nocturnal crowd. The old city remains closed every night. Other than certain night-time cultural events or festivals, there is hardly any excitement after dark in the ancient city. But the modern city of Jerusalem has a flair for nightlife that includes an array of bars and clubs lined up along the streets of Jaffa Street, from Machane Yehuda Market extending towards the Zion Square. ‘The Little Pinkas’, ‘The Sira’, ‘The Ship’, and ‘The Taklit’ are a few of the most popular sought-after hangout destinations for the young crowd. The city-center area also has its share of mainstream bars and nightclubs like ‘Toy Bar’ and ‘Oliver Twist’.
