Overall Jerusalem Tourism, Visit Jerusalem

Tourism Jerusalem
Jerusalem is surrounded by mountains and lookouts. Each observation provides a unique view of the city and a different understanding of Jerusalem. This is Part IV of Tourism in Jerusalem where I mounted the reader to different viewpoints on the city.

Scopusberg
This is the ultimate city view. Travel north toward
the Mount Scopus campus of Hebrew University of Jerusalem, like
proceed to the Mount of Olives. Drive around the group of buildings on the east side of the
campus and leave your car in the parking lot. At the East is the
anticipate seeing the Judean Desert and the Mountains of Moab. South
and the west is the Old Town, the tiles of the roofs of the houses in Mea
Sheariem (Orthodox Jewish neighborhood) and can be seen behind the modern buildings of
Jerusalem. At your feet lies the Wadi Joz neighborhood, and this lies Emek Zoeriem,
a national park of olive trees. It is also easy to see where the
City Hall, Notre Dame Convent and Hospital de France, with its two
turrets, and the King David Hotel, lie. Preferred visit times:
Judean Desert in the afternoon, Jerusalem, the morning hours.

The British Cemetery
The British Cemetery is situated on top of Mount Scopus, on the side of the
road leading to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In this
cemetery graves located in nets that British soldiers
in the region died in combat during World War I. The hundreds of uniform
gravestones amongst well kept lawns are striking. The British concerns
continued their military cemeteries around the globe
lie.

Jews have also served in the British Army. Twenty-four of them are
buried in the western part of the cemetery and it is easily their
graves to recognize because they are marked with a Star of David and not a
Cross as the other graves. In most conflicts, the British buried their
deaths in the places where they fell, instead of shipping the bodies home
bring.
