Welcome to King David Street, Jerusalem's most elegant artery. This boulevard is a true journey through time, where every stone tells the story of the birth of the modern city.
*Among other highlights*, we will turn your gaze toward the King David Hotel. This legendary palace of pink limestone, inaugurated in 1930, is a stage for world diplomacy. It has hosted kings and presidents while remaining deeply marked by the upheavals of the British Mandate.
Just across the street, the YMCA raises its majestic tower. Designed by the architect of the Empire State Building, this masterpiece fuses Byzantine and Islamic styles. It is a monument dedicated to peace, with a carillon that resonates high above the city.
We will go on to discover the Mahane Israel neighborhood. Founded in 1867 by Moroccan Jews, its quiet alleys and picturesque arches offer a striking contrast to the bustle of the city center.
Here, between an imperial past and pioneering spirit, beats the heart of Jerusalem.
