Tips

Hiking

From here you have a very good view of the impressive burial ground on the Mount of Olives. According to Jewish belief, on the Day of Judgment God appears on top of the Mount of Olives and awakens the believers. So those who are buried closer to the summit will be awakened earlier than others. Therefore, these graves are preferred.

Hiking

The burial grounds of the various cemeteries here alone are impressive. Some of the tombs are worth seeing.
