In 1924 British celebrated the seventh anniversary of the conquest of Jerusalem by General Allenby. King George Street, named in honor of King George V, was inaugurated in this event. There are some significant buildings along the street. In 1950–1966, the Knesset, Israel's parliament, met at Beit Froumine. Beit HaMa'alot ("elevator house"), the highrise building with elevator, was built in 1935 by architects Alexander Friedman and Meir Rubin. The headquarters of the Jewish Agency is on this street.

This trip is the full-day walking tour to Jerusalem for those who have already been in the city more than one time. We will start the day with two amazing museums that discover the real streets of Jerusalem from the time of King David and King Herod the Great. The city of King David impresses with its antiquity and authenticity. The Jerusalem archaeological park - Davidson Center shows the buildings of the vicinity of the Second Jerusalem Temple, its streets, and even shops of artisans. We will visit the Wailing Wall. We will walk along the southern walls of the old city to the Sultan's Pool and climb a little up the slope to the old windmill in the first suburb built behind the city walls. From the quarter of Moses Montefiori, we will approach the legendary King David Hotel and stop for a rest in Independence Park. At the end of the day, we will take a leisurely walk and eat at the most colorful, tasty, and famous city market - Mahane Yehuda.
