Jerusalem

Food & Drink

• Machneyuda • Mediterranean / Busy, vibrant, and trendy. Book early.
• Jacko Street • Israeli / Hip, cool and kosher. The charm starts with ingredients from Yehudah market & the open kitchen.
• Azura • Middle Eastern / Easy going restaurant serving up homestyle cooking such as falafel, hummus, and kebabs. Close to Yehudah market.

• Yedule • Cocktail Bar / Across the street from Machneyuda, this hotspot is part of the MachneYuda Group. Great vibe & place for cocktails.
• Rabbit Hole • Cocktail Bar / Not your classic cocktail room. Described as having a homey vibe without the snobby attitude.
• Gatsby • Cocktail Bar / A homage to the opulence of the Roaring ‘20s, Gatsby impresses with its grand vintage decor, exquisite classic cocktails, and creative modern concoctions.

• Cafe Nadi, Cafe Bastet, Roasters (Yehudah market)

Activities & Attractions

• Masada sunrise hike & Dead Sea • These two locations are close together, so it makes sense to do as a day trip. Masada is an ancient fortification on a mountain with incredible views of the Judaean Desert & Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is famous for having such high salt content that you float and for being the lowest point on earth.
• Old City (Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Dome of the Rock) • Divided into four quarters: Muslim, Christian, Armenian and Jewish. The Old City is one of the holiest places on earth. Guided tours are recommended.
• Yad Vashem • Holocaust memorial museum that contains the world's largest collection of information on the Holocaust.

• Machaneh Yehudah Market • Could be our favourite market anywhere! Tons of amazing restaurants, bars and cafes and a great place to buy food/produce.
• Old City Market (Arab Souq) • With a Middle Eastern atmosphere straight out of Aladdin, these narrow alleys comprise the "suks" (Arabic for market) of the old city.
• Alrov Mamilla Avenue • This modern open-air street mall is popular with locals and tourists alike. Rich history, local culture and sophisticated retail experience in a word-class prime location.
