 Lived in Israel for 10 years but have been away for the past three. I can still provide advice on where, when and what to see. I have limited knowledge of hotels/BBs/hostels and restaurants but I know some really interesting, out-of-the-way places for any length of stay and have a good understanding of the different cultures.

The Grand Court is not really in East Jerusalem. If you look on a map, it is just off road # 1, and in Israeli West Jerusalem, by one street. The Olive Tree is next door, but then so is the American Colony
