Jerusalem Milestones


Generally, people get attracted to ancient and historic markets. In Jerusalem, they get attracted to markets that are close to the archeological, historic, and Jerusalemite landmarks, like Al-Aqsa Mosque, that has many markets around it. Some markets have been Judaized, like Al-Bashoura and Al-Husur markets in 1968, and others remained the same until now, like Khan Az-Zeit and Al-Bazar markets.
