Tomb of Absalom (Hebrew: יד אבשלום‎, Transl. Yad Avshalom; literally Absalom´s Shrine), also called Absalom´s Pillar, is an ancient stone monument with a conical roof located in the Kidron Valley in Jerusalem, Israel. Although traditionally ascribed to Absalom, the rebellious son of King David of Israel (circa 1000 B.C.E.), recent scholarship has attributed it to the first century C.E.

Construction of the Mount Scopus campus of the Hebrew University began in 1918 on land purchased from the Gray Hill estate. The dedication ceremony was held in 1925 in the presence of many dignitaries. A design for the university campus by Sir Patrick Geddes positioned the university buildings on the slopes of the mount, below a domed, hexagonal Great Hall recalling the Star of David, as a counterpoint to the octagonal Dome of the Rock in the Old City. This plan was never implemented, but Geddes designed the university Library, today the Hebrew University Faculty of Law on Mount Scopus. By 1947, the university was a solid research and teaching institution with humanities, science, medicine, education and agriculture departments (in Rehovot), a national library, a university press and an adult education center. The university had a student population of over 1,000 and 200 faculty members.

The Krafsur Family Lemur Exhibit, also fondly referred to as Lemur Land, is a unique enclosure. The exhibit is situated on a side path that descends along a steep slope, and visitors are welcome to enter the enclosure by passing through double doors. Immediately upon entry, one meets up with four different types of lemur, all of them wandering freely in a broad and spacious enclosure, with no partitions or obstructions coming between them and their human visitors. The residents of Lemur Land include the Ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta), the Brown lemur (Lemur fulvus fulvus), the Black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata variegata), and the Red ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata rubra). The exhibit is staffed at all times by keepers, volunteers, or guides, who are always ready to provide explanations regarding the lemurs and their forest habitats on the island of Madagascar.

Whenever you visit the zoo, please note the opening hours for this particular exhibit.

Dominating the skyline of Jerusalem, a landmark without doubt, is the beautiful shrine of the Dome of the Rock. Built on a platform over the rock of Mt. Moriah 1,300 years ago by the Muslim Umayyad Caliph Abdul Malek Ibn Marwa. It was completed in 691 AD, 6 years after building commenced. The Dome of the Rock is a shrine in Al Aqsa Mosque commemorating the Prophet Muhammad´s miraculous journey to the Seven Heavens. Eight stairways with arcades lead to the raised platform of the Dome of the Rock. There is a sun dial atop the center top archway, accurate to within five minutes of the actual time.

Highway No 1 is the main highway connecting Tel Aviv with Jerusalem. Highway continues into the occupied West Bank past the Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adummim, and is then downgraded in size until the Beit HaArava Junction with Route 90 south of Jericho near the shores of the Dead Sea.

The chapel was built between 1919 and 1924 using funds donated from many different countries. The respective coat-of-arms of each donating country are incorporated into the glass of the ceiling, each in a separate, small dome, and also into the interior mosaics. The countries honored in this way are; starting from the left side, beginning with the apse: Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico; in the middle of the church are memorialized: Italy, France, Spain and the United Kingdom, and to the right: Belgium, Canada, Germany, and the United States of America. The mosaics in the apses were donated by Ireland, Hungary, and Poland. The crown around the bedrock itself was a gift of Australia. These multi-national donations give the church its present title as the Church of "All Nations".

The Jerusalem Biblical Zoo boasts one of the world´s largest troops of captive mandrills. The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is perhaps the most colourful of the primates. The adult male is most conspicuous, thanks to the bold colors on his face and hindquarters, and by virtue of his sheer size, which may be double that of the female. Mandrills are quite common in zoos throughout the world, and the behavior of this species in captivity has been well documented. But recent studies have shown that mandrill populations in the wild have a most intriguing social structure, and that their social behavior bears little resemblance to that of a troop in captivity. Captive adult males dominate and dictate the course of their troop´s daily life; apparently, however, in the wild, mature males are almost entirely solitary, unlike the females, which are exceptionally gregarious. Wild females and juveniles have been found to live in troops that actually number many hundreds of individuals, while the adult males evidently have nothing to do with the troops, except during the relatively short mating season.

A narrow stone alleyway leads up a set of steps to an arched wooden doorway. Warm light spills out from the interior, contrasting with the rough stone walls of the historic quarter.
