A Tour of Jerusalem | Holy City in the Middle East

You can watch my tour of the Old City of Jerusalem here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3abk2p7rLlnqpY

[@arafhasan9582]

Dear brother, I like watching your videos for a long time. Your videos are very clear. I would like to know what camera you use to make the videos.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

@@arafhasan9582 Hi, I have several cameras, but mostly film with a DJI. I include the camera I used in the description below every video, so there's a link there to the camera. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much dear❤️🇧🇩

[@andrelordello]

That street market is the flee market. I've been at Jerusalem three times as a tour guide n that city is really amazing! Nice video Gabriel! Keep it up! 😂🎉🇧🇷

[@NaProbablyNot]

It’s cool to see Jerusalem outside of the old city. Didn’t realize how beautiful the city itself is! Would love to visit Israel!

[@scottsimon8543]

The secret to eating cheap in Israel is find restaurants that are off the main roads or in the Arab sector like Jaffa if you're in Tel Aviv or east Jerusalem. If you stop in restaurants in the touristy sections like Jaffa Rd. in Jerusalem of course it's going to be more expensive because the rents are higher.

[@firdaus_ibrahim]

This video lets us step into Jerusalem's rich history while strolling through its lively streets. An immersive cultural journey - thanks for sharing! 😊

[@ritastiles24178815]

Gabriel, thank goodness you visited Israel and Palestine and made those videos when you did, with the War that broke out there today, 😪

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

No doubt, such a shame what's happening there right now.

[@skontheroad]

Except now they really need the tourism!! (He would not have been allowed to visit Gaza even before the war) Having been there during every conflict and Intifada, they are SO HAPPY and grateful to see a tourist, it is a memorable experience, and you will always be happy you went!!

[@enttree69]

Shalom Gabriel, welcome back! Just wanted to clarify the issue with the food (which looked amazing!). The Israeli cuisine is very diverse and eclectic since Jews arrived to Israel after being in the diaspora for 2000 years and brought with them their traditional foods from all over the world. There is a huge Kurdish community in Israel, Jews that came to Israel from Kurdistan and the type of cuisine they enjoy is indeed Kurdish food. You happened upon a restaurant that serves exactly that, and BTW, is one of the best places to eat in Jlem! Great video of a fascinating place!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Very interesting, good to know.

[@DontrustZionism]

You came back after 2000 years , wow! You lived that long?

[@tombuddy100]

@@DontrustZionism No, they have been there for more than 3000 years. They reestablished independent state 75 years ago.

[@scottsimon1]

Most tourists to Jerusalem just visit the Old City, Jaffa Rd. & Mahane Yehuda Market, these are all on the light rail route, but there's so much more to see. If you like ancient ruins, City of David is nearby, the Israel Museum should not be missed, even if you're not a fan of museums. The Ramparts Walk will give you an excellent view of the Old City. There are many churches like the Church of All Nations - 379 CE.

[@annethall]

Agree. I am not a fan of museums but this one was awesome. And love the Ramparts Walk because the ticket is good for two days so do one side one day and the other side the next. Fabulous chaotic at times country.

[@skontheroad]

For those who have never been, if near the new train Station, down the block is the Har Zion Hotel (a poor man's King David Hotel). Inside is the Cable Car Museum and a must see (and only 20 mins tops!)! Similar to the Bullet Factory, a Museum bet J'lem and TLV-- they are sort of off the beaten track and less known, but more memorable than most! They are redoing the Har Zion but they will not get rid of the actual Cable Car for the war, even though it is situation just above a (my favorite) suite with a great view of the old city from a wonderful terrace! You can probably find pics online!

[@quackersna]

Beautiful city. It looks both ancient and modern at the same time.

[@Peter-MH]

The more I see of Israel, the more I like! Great weather, great food, looks like a good atmosphere, loads of interesting stuff to see! Seems like quite an underrated destination.

I’ve been comparing your Wi-Fi speeds across the world to mine -I live and work full time in a camper van, and am trying to sell the idea to my boss that if I was to travel full time my work wouldn’t suffer. They worry I won’t be able to get good internet. My Wi-Fi speed here in Cardiff, Wales is MUCH slower than anywhere you have been on this trip!!!! 😂😂I think it’s a no-brainier I should also be a full time traveller 😜 Ps. Jerusalem looks absolutely beautiful. Will be adding to my bucket list 😊

Climate similar to California stands to reason when considering latitude x longitude coordinates.

Shana Tova to our Israeli friends - happy new year, this video is a jewel Gabe ! also, try spread tahini with honey, on bread, cracker or a toast!😋shalom👏👌✌

[@liorfeld972]

Hi Gabriel, the guy at the end said "TSALEM" which means "take a photo" in Hebrew, in the directive form. understandably, to your ears it sounds a bit like "salam". "Shalom" it the most common greeting in Hebrew and you can use it as either hello and goodbye.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks, good to know.

[@annethall]

Very enjoyable. I was there 2016 for three weeks. So much to see in Israel. The food was fantastic. Jerusalem is so different from Tel Aviv. If you have not gone to the desert or the Galilee make another visit. We walked across the border from Jordan into Israel which took us about 20 minutes total as we were the only people crossing at that time. Elat just so so but good place to rest a few days with a pool then rent a car and the desert is so beautiful as is the Galilee. You need another visit as do I.

Hey Gabriel great to see you showing more of Jerusalem, you definitely have me wanting to go there. Loved the tour of the old city as well. Great way to start a Sunday morning. ❤

[@humblebee8334]

Through out the video you were describing Arab foods I’m interested in what the Israeli food is?

[@dee74raz]

I’m guessing the amalgamation of Jewish foods around the world 🌍

[@banto1]

Modern Israel today is literally "the in-gathering of the exiled", where Jews who were exiled for millennia to over 190 countries came back to there reclaimed homeland, bringing their favorite cuisines from all over the planet. If you want really authentic uniquely Israeli food, you're pretty much left to eating bamba, bisli and ptitim...

[@tomfrith1949]

Go to a shoe repair shop-- they can put new zippers - and more durable ones - and strengthen key parts of the backpack - they have the proper sewing machine skills and Equipment--

[@fuatb.4690]

Thanks 🙏 I hope one day I will go to Jerusalem

[@banto1]

Jews had lived in exile for millennia all across the middle east, including in Kurdish areas. After Israel was reestablished in 1948, almost all of these Jews left their oppressive Muslim neighbors and came home to live in Israel, bringing their local cuisines with them.

[@jaime5434]

94$ per night yikes! With how expensive Israel is I couldn’t afford that on a backpack budget

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

[@TheSwede70]

I think you wandered a few minutes there in the orthodox area. I had some problems photographing there. That is area is so interesting. One of my best exploring in Jerusalem except for the old town and Al Akhsa and the wailing wall. Mount of Olives area is also nice.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

hi Gabriel, genuinely nice food choices and a lot of variety of different dishes the only thing about Israel overall it's expensive compared to some of the locations you have been to. Nonetheless, it's an incredible experience and witness a historical city with a fascinating past and presently an incredible modern city within its ancient history.

[@dizzeeblondee5309]

The food looked amazing and the expression on your face is the same content and satisfied one that half the Mediterranean has when eating a good Mahalepi dessert 😊 It did look extremely good!

[@ryanpatrickpreston]

11:20 Interesting how, according to Exodus, when God for the first time spoke to Moses, Moses didn't recognize the voice due to the fact that so much time had passed during the Israelite captivity in Egypt. It was at that point that God revealed his proper name - YWHW - which translates as 'I Am Who I Am.' Fascinating story-telling to say the least.

[@fromthethrone]

I love Jerusalem! ❤

[@MilaTheTravelJunkie]

❤ I want to go back to beautiful Israel 🇮🇱 . I think you step a little in Mea She'arim, which is the ultra orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem. The folks there are not too happy with filming, or taking pictures, but I think you just step in a little part of it.

[@danm3570]

Hi Gabriel, you should go and check out petra in jordan since you're in the neighborhood

[@electrofuzz7396]

Kurdish jews who immigrated to Israel in 1948 brought their Kurdish inspired cuisine with them. The guy did not say "shalom", he said "tezhalem" meaning "take a photo/video"

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I see, that's funny. He was right.

[@dee74raz]

Bushnak (Arabic: بشناق‎, meaning “Bosnian” or “Bosniak”, also transliterated Bushnaq, Boshnak and Bouchnak) is a surname common among Palestinians who are of Bosnian origin. Those sharing this surname are the descendants of Bosnian Muslims apprehensive of living under Christian rule after the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878, who emigrated to Palestine within the Ottoman empire. While not originally from one family, most Bosnians who emigrated to Palestine adopted Bushnak as a common surname, attesting to their origins. Some Bosnian movement to Palestine occurred when Bosnian Muslim soldiers were brought to Palestine in the late 1800s to provide reinforcements for the Ottoman army. More substantial movement occurred after 1878, when the Austro-Hungarian empire, ruled by the House of Habsburg, occupied Bosnia. Bosnian Muslim emigration continued through this period, escalating after the Austro-Hungarian’s 1908 annexation of Bosnia. Many emigrated to parts of what is now modern Turkey, while a smaller number settled in Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan. In Palestine, these Bosnian emigrants settled predominantly in villages in the northern parts of the present day West Bank and Israel: Caesarea (Qisarya), Yanun, Nablus and Tulkarem. Their descendants still live in these villages, their Bosnian heritage reflected in the Arab surname of Bushnak. The Bosnian Muslim immigrants who settled in Caesarea in 1878 built two mosques, joining other Muslim immigrants from Morocco, Algeria, Crimea, the Caucasus, and Turkestan. These Slavic speaking immigrants eventually assimilated into the Arab population of Palestine. There is a facebook group of Bushnaqs all over Arab World.

kurds do not have a cuisine specific to them. They learned how to cook and eat those dishes when they arrived to the Middle East as nomadic tribes with the islamic invasion. Shamburak is just a deviation for the meaning (Sham is the old name for Damascus and burak is the arabic spelling for burek which is a common word between Turks, Arabs and Armenians) there is no role for kurds in any of the Middle Eastern cuisines.
