DESCRIPTION:

Step into a neighborhood once defined by division and now shaped by resilience. This powerful tour traces the 1949–1967 Green Line, the armistice boundary that split Jerusalem into East and West. Walk along barbed wire routes and no-man’s lands, and explore Musrara—a neighborhood caught between borders, filled with rich Palestinian history, Mizrahi activism, and powerful cultural shifts. Learn how physical and social lines have shaped the city’s identity.

 

PRICE INCLUDES:

• Guided tour led by a historian or urban heritage expert

• Archival images from pre- and post-1948 periods

• Access to significant locations along the former Green Line

DON’T FORGET:
