Jerusalem
Jerusalem, the City of the Great King and capital of Israel, is a city like no other. With a population of roughly 800,000—Jews, Arabs, Christians, and internationals—the city is a vibrant mosaic of faith, culture and history. Modern streets bustle with high-speed buses, coffee shops, markets and universities, yet ancient walls, archeological ruins and holy sites anchor the city firmly in millennia past. Every corner of Jerusalem whispers stories of kings, prophets and generations who have longed for its streets.
