Jerusalem is appropriately described as the City of Gold. It is magical, with the mix of ancient history and modernization blended together to form a worldly experience. Jerusalem will forever remain one of the holiest cities in the world, where an interesting mix of religions living together in tolerance, respect and harmony. But religious pilgrimage isn't the only reason to visit Jerusalem: those not interested in religion can choose from a wide range of vacation activities and night-time entertainment to keep busy and enjoy the ambience to all hours of the early morning. Views from the hills around Jerusalem are breathtaking.

Temperatures of 42 degrees have been recorde though, as well as possible frost during winter, though not severe (-3 degrees). May to October is almost completely dry while January and February have around 130 mm of rain (or, though rare, sometimes snow).
