Overview
Zuzu Segway invites you to a floating experience with fascinating historical and cultural commentary in front of the walls of the Old City. The tour will take you to the beautiful Mishkenot Sha’ananim, which was the first Jewish neighborhood outside the old city. The establishment of this neighborhood came as a result of the revolutionary vision of Moshe Montefiore, who decided that it was time to stop the population density inside the sealed and barricaded Old City of Jerusalem. It was time to exit the walls and settle outside the city. This was the beginning of the New Jerusalem as we know it.
Highlights
Begin your tour at the entrance to the luxurious Alrov Mamilla Avenue by Jaffa Gate. Get on your Segway vehicle and ride on King David Street, where you will see the spectacular King David Hotel. Look right across from the hotel and admire the unique architecture of Jerusalem YMCA building. Visit the famous Montefiore Windmill – the only ancient flour mill in Israel that still works on wind and mills flour just like they used to do it in ancient times.
Roll to the famous Lions Fountain and get a nice view of the Menachem Begin Heritage Center. Discover a magical secret route and hover over the Sultan’s Pool to witness the original entrance gate to Mishkenot Sha’ananim. For a final touch, visit Hutzot Hayotzer neighborhood and see the former house of Shimon Peres at David Village. Continue floating across David Citadel Hotel, which hosts the world’s most noble people, among them Hilary Clinton. End your journey back at Yitzhak Kariv promenade (by Jaffa Gate).
