Jerusalem & further afield..

..it is hard to overstate the historical significance of Jerusalem..beginning with the old city where the three faiths sit side by side...as represented by the Wall of Lamentation of Judaism, the Via Dolorosa and Holy Sepulchre of Christianity, and the Dome of the Rock, the third holiest site of Islam...other sites of biblical significance abound, first to mind being Bethlehem...the Sea of Galilee...also the Dead Sea and the legendary fortress of Masada...the list goes on and on...
