PrivateTours
Booking a private photo expert allows you to
select the below carefully planned routes or when your photo guide
contacts you directly (your email required), to make desired changes
where possible according to your interest, including architecture and
photojournalism.
Jerusalem Old and New
Your tour will start with Jerusalem's Supreme Court building, an
architectural masterpiece. Built in 1992 it is still considered "brand
new". The participants will be able to photograph both the exterior
and the interior of the building. The tour will continue up Bezalel
street through the "Nachlaot" group of small residential quarters.
Built in the latter half of the eighteenth century most of the
original buildings still exist although a substantial renewal program
has rejuvenated the buildings, alleys and courtyards. You will explore
the many small quarters each with it's own fascinating history and
character. The tour will continue winding up to Jerusalem's famous
Machane Yehuda market, a visual (as well as a culinary) treat. The
market is filled with food stalls of all types as well as boutiques
selling everything from jewelry to designer clothes. Jerusalem's
special and unique population mix can be seen to it's fullest in the
market. We will take a break and eat in one of the many small but
excellent restaurants or kiosks. The tour will end in downtown
Jerusalem at the corner of King George and Agripas Streets.
