Welcome to King David Street, Jerusalem's most elegant avenue. This boulevard is a true journey through time, where every stone tells the story of the birth of the modern city.

Our gaze will stops at the King David Hotel. This legendary palace of pink limestone, opened in 1930, is a stage for global diplomacy. It has hosted kings and presidents while remaining deeply marked by the upheavals of the British Mandate.

Right across the street, the YMCA stands with its majestic tower. Designed by the architect of the Empire State Building, this masterpiece blends Byzantine and Islamic styles. It is a monument dedicated to peace, whose carillon carillon echoes far above the city.

Tucked away nearby, we discover Mahane Israel. Founded in 1867 by Moroccan Jews, it was the second neighborhood built outside the city walls. Its quiet alleys and picturesque arches offer a striking contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city center.

Here, between imperial past and pioneering boldness, beats the heart of Jerusalem.

  • star rating  Best tour guide and helpful - If you are planning travel to Jerusalem I highly recommend Nissim. We went during Passover week with my family and friends and we hired Nissim for a 3 hour tour... read more that turned into 4 hours because you can see his enthusiasm and love for his city. He went into detail and accuracy in his tour that kept everyone engaged for the time. He allowed all questions and took the time to answer them and we never felt rushed. He went out of his way at the end of the tour to take us the King David tower so we could see the Dome of the work from a high point since it was closed. On our trip to Jerusalem the tour with Nissim was one of the high points because we left more educated and knowledgeable on events of the past and present. Thank you Nissim!
