MAHANE YEHUDA MARKET: AUTHENTICALLY JERUSALEM
The Mahane Yehuda Market (aka The Shuk) is the largest market in Jerusalem and one of the most famous in the Middle East. Once a shopping and dining center for the working class, the shuk has transformed into one of Jerusalem’s main cultural centers. Locals and visitors alike flock there for incredible culinary experiences, an unforgettable Thursday nightlife scene, concerts and, of course, shopping.
The ancient and beautifully restored Citadel stands at the main gate and entrance to the Old City; Jaffa Gate, which still carries a profound symbolic significance, as the meeting point and the transition between ancient Jerusalem and modern-day Jerusalem.
