Sorry for bothering everybody again. I will be travelling from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem a few days later, and I hv some questions...
1. My will stay in Inn Hotel which is located at Horkanos St. What bus route should I take from Jerusalem Central Bus Station? I expect to arrive at Jerusalem at around 6-7 pm.

2.What is the weather in Jerusalem now? Will it be too chilly, dry or rainy?

3. What souvenir do u suggest to buy? Small one is better, cause I don't want to carry too many on my back. Cheaper is better of cause. And where should I look for?

I know this question is a little early but figured I'd go ahead and see what is out there. I will be in Jerusalem for New Years Eve and wanted to know what kind of activities there are? I'm in my mid twenties and would like go wherever the young professional types go. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

as you all probably know, the temple mount sifting project is over at the Tzurim Valley National Park, and i was told i could take a bus over to the hebrew university on mt. scopus, where there is a 10-15 minute walk along mazar st, to get to the tzurim valley (and them temple mount salvage operation).

i'm going to be staying at palm hostel, directly across from damascus gate. are there buses near? is it far to walk? i posted this question before, but several years ago.

i appreciate any kind of help.

We will be in Jerusalem for about 3 weeks in August and would like to know where we can find free wireless internet.

In July I will be traveling from Jerusalem to Eilat, and to save time I want to see Masada and the dead sea on the way, I think that egged travel between all these destinations but cannot seem to get the details up on the website. Are there regualr buses that would allow me to do this and is this a realistic itinerary for a day?

Hello there!

A young couple, consisting of me and my wife, are looking for a furnished 1 bedroom apartment in Jerusalem, somewhere centrally located.
We are both coming for an internship. Since we are rely on public transport it shouldn't be somewhere in the outskirts, as long as its quite fast reachable by bus.
Can anyone please recommend us anything? It would be greatly appreciated!

I will be visiting Israel the month of December 2007 (12/3-12/31) and wish to stay in/around East Jerusalem. Can anyone recommend if it's possible to get a short-term apartment for this period or is my best bet a hotel? If you have any recommendations for either venue I'd appreicate it.
