Mt. of Olives and East Jerusalem

Getting Here and Around

The Route 99 circle tour has a stop near Hebrew University's Mt. Scopus campus. If you enjoy a bit of a walk and the weather is fine, it's no more than 20 minutes across to Mt. of Olives (with a bonus of a panoramic view of the Judean Desert to the east). A cab ride is an alternative, but if you skip the top of the mountain, the rest of the sights are accessible by foot from the Old City.
