Tour in the Steps of Jerusalem’s Merchants and Craftsmen

In this tour, we shall explore the less well-known neighborhoods of the Old City of Jerusalem. Through this walking tour, we will get to know the city through its craftsmen who give these areas their distinctive character. We shall study Armenian art and the processes involved in creating their unique pottery. We will visit Bilal, the fabric merchant, whose tales encompass all the Arab countries. We will get to know the famous weaver of the Old City who traditionally produces impressive prayer shawls (tallitot) and learn about the craft.  We’ll talk to Ilia, a third-generation photographer in Jerusalem whose family have photographed the last one hundred years of the city. Then we shall meet the antique dealer whose wares will take us on a journey through history.
