East Jerusalem - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?
Drive to Tel Aviv or Jaffa to go to the beach and eat at some of the great waterfront restaurants. Or have a picnic at Yarkon park. Or, alternatively, cross into Ramallah to go to posh restaurants there. In West Jerusalem, there is the cinematech, which has good artistic films. Shop in the old city and around it, or go to West Jerusalem and hang out on Emek Refaim St. for shopping and a good cafe scene. (Just make sure the cafe has a guard and gate.) - May 2006
