This fascinating, historic
neighborhood of Jerusalem was established as a result of the
overcrowding within the walled city in the middle of the 19th
century. A tour of this interesting area is meant for all types
of people. In light of the neighborhood’s narrow sidewalks and
steps which make it hard for comfortable manipulation of
carriages and wheel chairs, the tour is organized to accommodate
the disabled, in particular the wheelchair population.
