    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.

      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.

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

            Also called Damascus Gate as it leads towards Damascus.
            Immediately after the gate, the bazaar begins with narrow streets.

              Ideal starting point for a city tour and very easy to reach by tram. From here an almost "straight" path (almost, is just the old town) to the Wailing Wall.

                Damascus Gate is one of the oldest gates in the old city that lead straight into a suq full of old shops that sell mostly fruits & veg with some cafes in narrow streets. It is lively during the day but once all the shops close, it is dead . Still have lots of history to visit.
