You step off the air-conditioned minibus onto a limestone street that has borne prayers and footsteps for millennia. The city smells of dust, baking bread and coffee; the skyline is jagged with domes and bell towers. From Mount Scopus the Old City spreads like a lived-in map, then the guide threads you down into narrow lanes toward the Western Wall, the echoing court of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and, later, across the checkpoint to Bethlehem’s stone-paved plaza.
