Mount of Olives (Har HaZeitim)
The classic panorama of Jerusalem: an open terrace above the Old City looking across to the Temple Mount, the Kidron Valley and the Armon HaNatziv ridge, set above the Mount of Olives Jewish cemetery, reputedly the oldest burial ground still in use anywhere.

Y aller
Bus 84 from Ammunition Hill, beside the light rail, runs to Maaleh Har HaZeitim by the Seven Arches Hotel. Lines 83, 83A and 51 serve the Information Center; lines 1 and 3 towards the Kotel stop at Derech Yericho / Ha'Ofel.
Temps à prévoir30-45 minutes at the viewpoint ÂgesFine for all ages at the terrace itself. The footpath down through the cemetery towards Gethsemane is steep and slippery underfoot. Intérieur ou extérieurExtérieur Chabbat et fêtesOuvert Meilleur momentEarly morning with the sun behind you, or sunset on a day with some cloud. Midday light flattens the view. AccessibilitéThe terrace itself is at road level and broadly reachable, but the cemetery paths and the descent towards the Kidron Valley are steep, stepped and uneven.
Conseils d'initiés
- Come early morning: the sun is behind you and the Old City lights up.
- Bus 84 from Ammunition Hill, next to the light rail, drops you by the Seven Arches Hotel.
- The walk down through the cemetery towards Gethsemane is steep - proper shoes, and not after rain.
- The Information Center is currently closed to individuals, so there is no visitor desk on the ridge.
- Free and open all week including Shabbat, when most ticketed sites are shut.
