Jerusalem
If there is anything beautiful in the world, all nine of them are in Jerusalem. It is the capital in the eyes of the Israelis. It is located in the Jewish mountains, between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is known as the holy city of the three major religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam).
In history, Jerusalem has been destroyed by foreigners many times, and has been rebuilt many times. Although it is ill-fated, it has attracted the attention of the world. It is both ancient and modern, and the residents represent the integration of multiple cultures and ethnic groups, with both strict adherence to the rules and a secular lifestyle.
Jerusalem-Wailing Wall
The Wailing Wall is the western wall of the ancient city of Jerusalem. The remaining walls of the ancient city have been damaged and collapsed. This is the best-preserved section of it. Jews from all over the world mourned or prayed quietly in front of the Western Wall, expressing their suffering in exile and their condolences to the temple.
Write your wishes and prayers as small notes and put them in the cracks of the Western Wall. According to Jewish tradition, the wishes made under the Western Wall will reach the heavenly court.
The Wailing Wall is divided into two places where men and women pray. There is a man on the left side and a woman on the right side. Men pray to wear Jewish white hats. Note that close-up photography is not allowed on the Sabbath.
Jerusalem-Dome of the Rock
The Dome of the Rock is located at the entrance of the stone steps on the side of the Wailing Wall. It is the "crown" on the Temple Mount and a unique landmark of the city. It appears on countless postcards. The mosque is only open to Muslims and only open from 7 am to 11 am.
Jerusalem-Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The various parts of the Holy Sepulchre are controlled by different branches of Christianity. Christianity is divided into seven denominations, including Greek Orthodox, Armenian and Roman Catholicism. Every nail, candle, and stone in the church is registered and owned by various denominations, and some are in condominiums.
This is the holy place in the hearts of Christians. According to the Bible, the body of Jesus was placed here after his death. Under the dim lights in the church, people lit candles, and devout Christians knelt, prayed, chanted, and even whispered.
Although the crowds in the church are a bit noisy, but you can still feel the sacredness and supremacy of God in the hearts of Christians.

The Negev Desert lays across the Negev in the south of Israel. The desert area occupies more than half of Israel's land area. But unlike other monotone deserts, since entering the Negev Desert, large patches of green have been seen continuously.
