In Jerusalem

I spent lovely moments in Jerusalem on 23rd of October 2011 between my lovely wife's family. I visited the old town of Jerusalem by foot as there was no place to park your car between its narrow lanes.


Narrow lanes to Al Aqsa mosque


The first thing I did once I reached Jerusalem - of course after holding my son and wife between my arms - was having a great Shawerma in the eastern bank of Jerusalem from famous restaurant there. After that, whilst we were walking and enjoying these lovely moments, we stopped suddenly to take photos... Yes, awesome photos for the golden dome. it was a great view... Then we kept following the signs until we reached Al Aqsa mosque.

There are many gates for Al Aqsa mosque such as Al Sahera gate, Bab Al Amood Gate,... once we reached one of these gates, an Israeli soldier stopped me asking about my self and if I had visa to visit this holy place. I was holding my baby boy... I answered positively to his question and he let us go.

We (Son, my spouse and my brother's in law Firas) started taking photos in the out side area of Al Aqsa mosque then we went to pray al Duhour and Al Aser inside the mosque, it was blessed moment...

After enjoying these lovely moments, among 4 hours, we went back to our car to drive to my spouse's home in (Olive of Mountain) Al Tour where they live there.

We had a delicious lunch there,,, a grilled fish... it tasted awesome. believe me I'm not complimenting!  Eventually, at the evening time on the same day, my spouse, Firas and my baby Leo drove me to Ramallah where my sister lives, I stayed there one night and the next day left Palestine to Jordan.

This is me! not Photoshop...
