    From the Mount of Olives you have a great view of the old town, the Dome of the Rock and the Kidrontal.

      The 809 meter high Mount of Olives rises east of the Kidron Valley just opposite the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It is one of the most important places in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Mount of Olives is mentioned several times in the Bible and has a significant spiritual dimension. The western slope is almost completely covered with Jewish graves, because Jews expect the return of the Messiah on the Mount of Olives. According to Jewish tradition, this will then raise the dead and whoever is closest to this place will come to life first. The graves of Jewish personalities are primarily to be found there, but also of those who can afford it financially. The places are rare and coveted, which drives up the price.
