Religions mix in the Old City of Jerusalem when you enter the shuk, or open air bazaar. Meet Arab, Jewish and Christians walking in the alleys and stone paved streets. Munch on a sesame bagel. Stop for a drink of sweet Turkish coffee and baklava.

Walk the alleys and cobblestoned streets of the Arab market in the Old City of Jerusalem when you explore Israel. Shop owners are friendly, love to chat, but love to sell even more. Hard bargainers, these men (and they are 99% men) won’t let you walk away empty handed. Enjoy the repartee!

Shopping in the Arab suq (open air market) in the Old City of Jerusalem is a mix of old and new, religious and secular, holy and profane.
Shop owners are multi-lingual and surprise with their savvy, often correctly guessing a tourist’s country. Stuck for the perfect souvenir to bring back: T-shirts sometimes say it all.

Visit the ancient town of Safed to learn about Kabalah and Jewish mysticism. Continue into the Galilee to tour and taste wines made from orchard-grown pomegranates. Red ripe pomegranates, high in anti-oxidants, are a treat for the palate. Pure pomegranate oil, a by product of the wine making process, is sold as a cosmetic oil.

The area of the Old City of Jerusalem just inside the Jaffa Gate is a bustling lively series of winding twisting cobblestoned streets.
People watching is probably the best sport in town: I stood still for 5 minutes and watched black robed priests, Jewish seminary girls, religious men from the Ethiopian church, Arab shop keepers, European tourists, Hasidic Jewish men with black coats and hats, religious Jewish women with complete head coverings, as well as Arab women with their unique head coverings – a cosmopolitan mix of ethnicities and religions.
Chess, Old City, Jerusalem
The day was glorious – Jerusalem weather at its best: cool, sunny, clear – without the humidity of Tel Aviv.
The shop keepers displayed a complete mix of wares from Jewish ritual objects like prayer shawls, rams horns – or shofar – for the Jewish New Year – kiddush cups, stones to ward off the evil eye, turquoise beads as good luck amulets, etched leather bags and foot rests and accessories, fish-adorned ceramic ware, hand carved chess sets – what a feast of colors and objects.
