Store Your Luggage Around Jerusalem With Bounce 

Between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean Sea in the Judaean Mountains, Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world. Also known as the City of David, it has been occupied since 4,000 BC, starting with nomadic shepherds. It is also the capital of both Palestine and Israel. The famous city has been attacked over 50 times, captured and recaptured more than 40 times, and besieged 23 times. 

The Old City is the most popular spot by far. It is divided into four quarters, which include Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and Armenian. Because of this, you will see a wide variety of dress in Jerusalem from the secular garb to Orthodox and monastic vestments to modern attire. Each section of the city has a different vibe, including the architecture of the buildings, scents of the different foods, and chanting of prayer and church bells.  

One of the most visited towns in Jerusalem is Bethlehem on the West Bank in the Judaean Hills. According to the Bible, the town was the site of the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact, you can find a museum and several monuments on the subject. Actually, there are more than 60 museums in Jerusalem, 1,600 parks, and 2,000 archeological sites.
