Walking Tour of Musrara on Monday, September 9, 2024
Built at the end of the 19th century, this posh neighborhood was close to bustling Damascus Gate. After 1948, immigrants from North Africa were moved in and had to try to avoid Jordanian snipers as this area was literally on the border for nineteen years. It became a slum out of which the Black Panthers burst forth in 1971 which shocked Israeli society. Explore this neighborhood with interesting architecture and stories and find out why there is a Not Nice Alley.
Meet at the entrance to the main post office on Jaffa Rd (near Safra Sq) at 5:00pm. The tour is about 2.5 hours.
