Jerusalem City Travel, Hotels, Tours and Tourism Guide in Israel
"There are seventy names for Jerusalem". Seventy names, each reflecting a different aspect of this city and its residents, today and throughout history.
Jerusalem is the capital of the state of Israel. The city established 3000 years ago by King David as the capital of the Jewish nation. Consecrated by ancient history events and holy places, it is worshiped
by Jews, Christians and Muslims from all round the world.
 The Capital Of Israel Jerusalem is the modern capital of the State of Israel and the country`s largest city. It is a city where the first century rubs shoulders with the twenty-first century, each jostling for legitimacy and space, and where picturesque "old" neighborhoods nestle against glistening office towers and high-rise apartments. But Jerusalem is much more than the sum of its landmarks, old and new. It is a city of people, as diverse as the four corner of the globe from whence they came. To Jews, Jerusalem has always been "The Holy City", and it has been revered by Christians and Muslims for centuries. No wonder Jerusalem has such a tremendous impact, both locally and internationally.
