Vincent Poon :: Muslim Quarter (1 to 5-Sep)
 
As the name implies, the central souq, the hustle and bustle, the Arabic inscriptions, the symbols of the moons and the stars, all these make you think you are in the middle of a Muslim city
 
Yet the Muslim Quarter is not just for mosques or souqs. The Via Dolorosa is here as well as other churches and monasteries. Of course the most famous landmark in the area is still the large golden dome that you just could not miss!

You can't miss the Central Souq (market) in the muslim quarter
It would be a good place to buy breakfast or snacks if you feel hungry
As well as dry goods they also have a wet market... at least the four-legged animal looked more hygienic than I saw in other countries
