This place has been mentioned thru history for thousands of years. It's a nice mountain, with nice views all around. There are a few areas that you can park around and even do some shopping of local street sellers.

The Mount of Olives, the sacred and historical hillside across the Kidron Valley from the east gate of old Jerusalem is filled with numerous significant locations important in the life of Jesus Christ.

All of these locations are well worth a visit, and should be mandatory for any visit to the Holy Land, but are all closely located - all on the Mount of Olives!…
