Damascus Gate (Bab al-Amud) Tours and Tickets

The Jerusalem light rail spans the city, connecting history, conflict, people and differing narratives. It is a wonderful way to learn about the many facets of this city. We begin on Mount Herzl, the fist stop. We will visit the national cemetery and gain an understanding of the history of Israel. We continue on the light rail, pointing out the sites on the way, exiting at the the colorful Machane Yehuda market which we will tour and sample the street food. We continue on the rail, stopping at the center of town, Jaffa Street and King George Avenue, to get a sense of this historical and bustling area. We continue to the Damascus Gate Station, to visit both a Jewish Ultra-Orthodox neighborhood and the neighboring hub of the Arab section of the city at the Damascus Gate and Salah a Din Street. Here we will get a deep sense of the complexities of this multicultural city. We continue to the Arab and Jewish northern neighborhoods, asking the question: What unites us? What divides us?

Our activity is unique for a few reasons, firstly we fuse a tour and a run.. So if your in town for business and have no time to tour and you need a run... walla! Secondly all our guides have 2 certifications: guiding and running. So you will be running with very interesting people ! Now that is special. Lastly running in Jerusalem is just something you must try out.
