The most panoramic view of Jerusalem, together with the Judean Desert, this is the perfect place to end the #99 bus tour, especially at the twilight hour, when the light gives real meaning to the description "Jerusalem of Gold."

Overlooking the old city and mount of olives is this gem- lavender bushes everywhere and walking paths down the side of mount.. it is well worth finding for a time out from hectic touring. Not to be missed. Plus the Muslim call to prayer is electrify if you catch it at the right time . For some reason the cab didn’t know how to get me there and when we got off a few blocks away nobody could point to where it was - like they hadn’t heard of it.

This is a forested mountain area within 15 minutes or less of the Jerusalem city limit. It is ideal for hiking, biking, relaxing, picnicking, barbecue, seeing ancient terraced farming, exploring ancient buildings, and of brave- swimming in reservoirs of water. As such, is a great and easy get-away to nature, to do real but non stressful hiking. ... and that’s exactly what we did when “I visited this place” yesterday with a trio of eleven, six and three year old boys. We hiked the first segment of the eight kilometer loop of Har Eitan (known in English as “Mount A. Tahnn). As you can see by my attached “helpful” photos, the trail is very wide and there are expansive open views and also wildflowers in season. As stated in the photo descriptions, it was surprisingly not crowded on the trail, although the parking lot was full.

This is an update of last year’s 12/2018 review by me. I returned here again to lead a tour group of one 18 year old from U.S. The area remains as it was according to my previous outstanding review, so read that too. Updates- this rich and amazing historical Biblical site remains neglected and under appreciated and underutilized for tourist and pilgrimage purposes.... government departments and ministries- wake up to the potential that is here. Summary- it’s in Park Britannia, a prime and pristine hiking area. There were few if any hikers but there were some picnicking Israeli families. From the parking lot at the bottom of Tel Azeka are many picnic tables. Yes- it’s a climb to the top. Yes- the sundial still works perfectly. Now- the bas relief showing a schematic of the lands to the east is worn and old. The blight on the landscape of the awful concrete construction to the east/northeast of this site is much worse- the green verdant mountain has been destroyed by the expansion of the nearby metastasizing metropolis of House of Sun. . This Tel Azeka is an active archaeological excavation site- there were several new digging pits that were not there in 12/2018- some were blocking the previous walking trails. When we left, a tour bus of evangelical Christians (also from the U.S). arrived and descended on the parking lot... they did not seem to be the types to do the hike to the top exposed to the mid day Middle Eastern sun - we decided that they would tell their fellow church members that they had been near the Biblical site. Afterwards, we also went and drove through the forest on 4x4 road to Mitzpe Masua, the highest point in the forest and the location of the fire observation post building with the colored glass- that photo is featured here on this page. I explained how, in Talmudic times, the new month would be declared in Yavne to the southwest and a series of bonfires in mountain tops towards Jerusalem to the northwest and beyond would spread the news. This peak was part of that chain- hence its name- Torch Observation. The view across the flatlands to the coast is unobstructed. Hey/ sorry- no photos.

We were delighted with this walk from Jaffa Gate to Herod's Gate. So fun. A different perspective on the city.
