Due to territorial disputes between Arabs and Jews, the city is divided into two parts: Jews live in the west and Arabs in the east. All the most interesting is in the west.
Treat the locals with respect, do not wear open clothes, be calm, tactful and smile!
Local expats say they feel completely safe. As Lisa, a student from Moscow living in Jerusalem, put it: “My friends and I exist outside of these conflicts and the turmoil outside the window. Jerusalem is very concerned about the safety of locals and guests: there are many policemen on the streets who will always come to your aid in any matter, from serious tasks to issues related to the road to attractions. “
Also, modern Jerusalem is divided into old and new cities.
The new part, which began its chronology in 1860 from the western outskirts, has long outgrown the old one in size and population.
Old Jerusalem attracts more curious eyes, because it is on this earth that the main religious and historically valuable events took place. Holy places and architectural monuments recognized by three world religions have been preserved here. Old Jerusalem is entirely the main attraction of the city and all of Israel.
