  City Center
  Downtown Jerusalem is the heart of the modern metropolis, with nightlife, dining and culture to rival any major city. The area is made up of several neighborhoods, including the colorful Mahane Yehuda Market, charming Nahalat Shiva, bustling Ben Yehuda and Yafo Streets. Each has its own unique personality and atmosphere that you won’t want to miss out on.
  
  South
  South Jerusalem is an up-and-coming area that has seen the development of numerous attractions in recent years, including the state-of-the-art Jerusalem Payis Arena, which hosts some of the biggest international musical acts and sporting events. It joins places like Emek Refaim Street, Malha Mall, the Biblical Zoo, Teddy Stadium, Gazelle Valley and Ramat Rachel tourism complex in making up an area that is particularly popular with families.
  
  West Jerusalem
  West Jerusalem includes some of Jerusalem’s most charming neighborhoods and interesting attractions. Head to the picturesque Ein Karem at the foot of the Jerusalem Hills for a day of nature, quaint shops and elegant dining with a view. And for an unbeatable cultural experience, check out the Museum District, home to the world-class Israel Museum, the Bible Lands Museum, Science Museum and much more.
  
  Old City
  The Old City of Jerusalem has been a center of culture, religion and history for thousands of years, from the time of the Judean kings and the Roman era through the times of the Islamic Empire to the modern State of Israel. Every brick and stone is teeming with history. No trip to the Middle East is complete without wandering through alleys of the bazaar, walking the ramparts and exploring the Old City’s rich history at the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa) or Tower of David Museum.
  
  NEAR OLD CITY
  Not far from the Old City, you can find some of Jerusalem’s most vibrant entertainment and shopping centers. Mamilla Mall is just a few steps from Jaffa Gate and counts as one of the most luxurious shopping centers in the city, replete with high-end shops, Mamilla Hotel’s Akasha Spa and a collection of restaurants with amazing views. And if you follow Hebron Road, you’ll find the First Station cultural complex and the Yes Planet movie theater and entertainment center.

“Good value and off the beaten path ”

We went on a recommendation from a local so we had low expectations and it was perfect. Small place with 6 tables, enough 30 people max. Fresh hummus, great falafel, warm pita, tasty salad & pretty decent fries. Worth a stop if you want a little adventure in finding this place!! ✌🏽

“A big disappointment ”

We had read many positive reviews about this place and we excepted one of the best hummus in town, but the hummus and the falafel were terrible. The cook and the waiter serve food with dirty hand, they go in and out and touch the food. Pita bread was served cold, falafel had been fried many hours before, hummus wasn't tasty at all. Staff doesn't know how to deal with customers. Don't go!

“Cheap and good, but nothing to write home about”

This out of the way Hummus place, is tucked away, off the main road from the Damascus gate. It caters to tourist and locals alike. The place has extended to across the street to another shop. The Hummus itself is decent. Average and tasty, but far from being "the best". There's plenty of other good places to eat in Jerusalem, but this place is pretty clean, cheap, and has a toilet facility.
