The Muslim Quarter is the largest and most populous of Jerusalem's four quarters. It is 31 ha (77 acres in the northeast of the Old City. Entry to the Temple Mount has been controversial recently. Full review by 619jeffry

It was crazy and busy and loud, but a lot of fun and great shopping. Some very motivated sellers who want you to buy from their stores! Lots of competition and bargaining. Hang on to your purses! Fa…Full review by Jen C

Q:
“I yelled ‘please help me!’ and they just spat at me,” said Banita of the surrounding Palestinian shopkeepers whom she said looked on and did nothing as Palestinian terrorist Muhannad Halabi attacked her and her family in an alleyway near Lion’s Gate in the Old City. The Banitas’ two-year-old son was also lightly injured in the attack. Their infant girl was unharmed. She said that one of them slapped her and another laughed in her face and told her to “drop dead” when she told him she’d give him a million shekels if he helped her get away with her two babies. **See how Arab shopkeepers stand by while this woman cries for help - no one even bothers to save her two young children sitting in their strollers within reach of the murderer, or perform CPR on her husband who lies dying or dead on the ground. The Jewish man (seen wearing black and white) who ran to her rescue, Nehemia Lavi HYD was killed by the terrorist while the shopkeepers watched.

Remember the non-Jewish CBS reporter who was sexually assaulted during the Tahrir square demonstrations in Egypt?

Well, I'm sitting in a hostel in the Muslim Quarter of Old Jerusalem right now. Been here several days and wandered around the quarter a lot, both day and night time, without any sign of trouble. (I am white British, neither Jewish nor Muslim). Readers of the above review need to be aware that Jews in Jerusalem largely have nothing good to say about the Muslims, and vice versa. I have been told about the above matter whilst here and it is apparent firstly that this was an isolated incident (I am being told about it months later) and secondly that the victim was a local resident, not a tourist (tourists do not carry guns). Incidents of violence, whilst obviously regrettable, can happen in any city in the world. Is it safer in New York? Or Paris?
