Day 11 Pictures

The Mount of Olives. In the front is a large Jewish cemetery. The most expensive real estate in the world. It will cost you between 400 & 500 thousand to have a plot here. Jewish people want to be buried as they believe this is where the Messiah will come.   

On the Mount of Olives with Old Jerusalem in the background. Notice the Dome of the Rock on the left.

The Jaffa Gate into Old Jerusalem. This will take you to the Christian quarter.

The Pool of Bethaisda where Jesus healed the man who had been sick for 38 years.

The Western Wall also known as the Wailing Wall.
