Real Traveler reviews for Mount of Olives

More information on Mount of Olives

This panorama is best viewed in the morning, as later in the day the sun is in the wrong direction. From the Seven Arches Hotel (a popular snapshot stop-off for coach parties) the gleaming gold roof of the Dome of the Rock lies below in the Temple Mount complex and beyond it, the silver dome of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. As well as the Old City in the foreground, from this raised point it is also possible to see the City of David, the Kidron Valley and the new suburbs of West Jerusalem.
