Jerusalem Travel Documentary - Ten Beautiful Places to Visit
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 05. 2024
- Jerusalem is one of the world’s oldest cities and a fascinating travel destination. It’s holy to Jews, Muslims, and Christians, and has been at the crossroads of cultures and religions for millennia. While it continues as a spiritual and historic center, it is also a dynamic city, where traditional lifestyles blend with cosmopolitan ideas.
In this video, I will show you 10 beautiful places in Jerusalem that I visited, as part of a longer journey through the Holy Land, an area that is known today as Israel and Palestine.
From the historic center of Jerusalem with its narrow alleyways and religious landmarks, to the bustling modern city around Jaffa street. From intriguing neighborhoods like Nahlaot and Mea Shearim, to the mountain village of Ein Karem. And from the moving Yad Vashem memorial to the vibrant Mahane Yehuda market.
Jerusalem is a complicated city, in many ways, and is also at the center of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. However, this video should be seen as a traveler’s perspective of the city, focusing on positive stories and things to do. For those interested in the modern political history of the region, I recommend to read, watch, and listen to as many different sources as you can.
This is my first long trip after the pandemic started, and I’m grateful for the chance to travel again. It’s also my second visit to the region, and therefore I use both new and older footage for this video.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:
We begin this journey through Jerusalem in the Old City, where many of the most important sights are located. Its winding alleys lead you through quiet residential neighborhoods and bustling markets. The Old City is divided into four quarters, the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Armenian, and all have their own character.
It’s in and near these neighborhoods that you’ll find some of the holiest sites of the three main monotheistic religions, including the Western Wall, the Temple Mount (known as Al-Haram Ash-Sharif) to Muslims), with its incredible Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Via Dolorosa. If you want to take it all in from a distance, the Temple Mount offers one of the best viewpoints in Jerusalem.
Move away from here, and you’ll find that the Old City is actually a small part of today’s Jerusalem. Its modern center has a very different character, with the charming Mamilla shopping street, bustling Jaffa street, and the vibrant Mahane Yehuda market, which is not only a food paradise, but also gives an insight into the daily lives of Jerusalemites.
Close to the market is the friendly Nahlaot neighborhood, while Mea Shearim is one of the city’s most conservative areas, mostly inhabited by Haredi Jews, many of whom lead traditional lifestyles.
Perhaps the most moving and powerful museum in the world, Yad Vashem is a memorial to the six million Jews that died in the Second World War. Visitors can learn about the Holocaust here, through a number of different museums, exhibitions, gardens, and memorials.
We finish this journey in the picturesque mountain village of Ein Karem, which is filled with churches, monasteries, and historic homes. It’s an important place of worship, but also a popular weekend getaway for people living in the city.

Hello. I'm from Brazil and I discovered your channel today, and I can already say that it's the best channel I've ever seen on CZcams. Congratulations.
Thanks a lot for your kind words Juraci. I really appreciate that.
Simply beautiful. Thanks for this documentary. ❤
Thank you for your kind words, I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.
Couldn't agree more, thanks for sharing your message.

It is a very bad and unpleasant habit that of using the words of other people without mentioning their name; if you don't say the name at least use the necessary quotation marks, otherwise you become a kind of
idea thief.
Spot on Mona Peters, and thank you🌹!
You have specified the name of the real author of this quote.
This is a nice gesture🌹!
Wonderful video. I hope to visit Jerusalem this year.
Another wonderful video from you on a truly fascinating city.

Beautiful video
Very well shot and edited, well done!
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
Such a beautiful video! Highly appreciate the shots, used music and shared information. Have few questions from your personal experience and hope you don’t mind.
1) How many days you spent there discovering those places?
2) How safe the city? Security wise, scamming and such?
3) How much you spent there on average ?
4) Was is easy and convenient to walk around or needed lots of assistance to find you way around.
Really appreciate your tips ☺️👍🏼 thanks again!
Thanks for your kind words. I would say you need at least a week to cover most of the places in the video.
I usually don't comment on safety, as it can be quite personal and subjective. Sorry about that :)
That said, it was easy and convenient to walk around, and/or to get help if needed.
Enjoy your travels!
Beautiful video pleasure to watch

Hi, I work for South Korean broadcast company tvN. we would like to use your video on our history show. Could you please let me know if we could use an excerpt from it giving the credit to your channel? Thanks :)
Thank you for your message and interest. I believe you have licensed material before in the past. Can you please send an email to stefhoffer(at)outlook(dot)com? Thanks in advance!
Stef: Al-Aqsa Mosque is not temple mount!!! as you said... it is a mosque for Muslims only. I urge you and all who will read this comment to read about Islam the last revelation by Allah Almighty.
Thanks Yousef. I merely mentioned that the Jewish people call it the Temple Mount, and Muslims refer to the area as al-Haram al-Sharif. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
@@stefhoffer Jews call it the temple mount because that's where the temple was once located (corroborated by mainstream archeology as well), it was destroyed in ancient times by several invading armies, the only remnants is the western wall.
, today there's a muslim mosque on top of that called harram AL sharif, you weren't wrong at all.
the above commenter is butthurt and can't seem to control his emotions, what he is right about is the fact that jews are not allowed to pray there. Cheers!
You’re not wrong . Thanks for the content !
Thank you come to African Uganda
Hopefully in the future :)

Hope you can one day.

We all know this is taking place in Utah. My whole life I thought the Holy land was over seas. The whole time Judah (Utah) is the promised land. Mt. Nebo is located in a spot where Moses could see all the lands promised to Jacobs 12 sons! The real Jews (So called african americans) and the other 11 tribes are ready for our Lord and Saviour to put us back there. Sh'ma Yisrael.....We getting closer!!!! Christ is King!!!
Palestine tomorrow will be free🇵🇸🤍
ᴘʀᴏᴍᴏsᴍ
Free Palestine
Jerusalem city >>> Capital of Palestine
Capital of Israel
Sadly there are no historical and archeological evidence that Palestinians occupied Jerusalem before the israelites.
King Solomon built the first temple where the alaqsa mosque is dating back 3500 years. The Jews scattered...now they are back in their homeland. The God of Abraham brought them back to fulfill a 2000yr prophecy.

100% IT'S BEEN THE CAPITAL OF PALESTINE EVER AND FOREVER TILL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
