    Hiking

    One of the most beautiful gates of Jerusalem, after that you dive into a maze of alleys.
    Called Sha'ar Haperahim or Sha'ar Hordos in Arabic, Herod's Gate connects the Muslim quarter of the Old City with the Muslim residential quarters of East Jerusalem in front of the Old City walls.

    Hiking

    During Ramadan there is a big street festival every evening. The passage is severely narrowed, which can lead to quite a traffic jam at the end of prayer times in the mosque.

    Hiking

    Take the time to stroll on the market right at the Herodesgate.
