Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
It was about time somebody showed a close and intimate look at Jerusalem - thank you.
Wowww What a nice Beautiful Fantastic 😍 The Birthplace of Our lord Jesus Christ Jerusalem my dream travel destinations for Pilgrims, as A Roman Catholic Christian I love this place Very interesting City, thank u so much sir Gabe, for your wonderful walk around tour Godbless from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 😍😍👏🙏👍👍👍👍🙂👏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏
I'm ready for another visit to Jerusalem. Another good video to encourage my travels👍. Thanks Gabriel
Your Vlog is making me feel so homesick. If I came home I don't think I would be able to leave again. Still, my mother is still alive and with me helping in her caring, I shall have to delay. Great picture quality and enjoy your coverage!
WOW...the old city looks amazing .Great place with great history. Thanks for sharing with us the great place in the world .Well done 👏and enjoy your time in the sunny Greece 🏖👍😁
You are such a great traveller,sir you are inspiration for thousands of people.
FYI, the second temple was destroyed in 70 AD, not BC... Just a quick correction. I love your channel and these videos.
When I visited Jerusalem a few years ago, for a few shekels, you could walk on the rampart around the old city. You could look down into the city, yards, schools shops. A highlight of the day
Imagine this old town without all the shops... what a wonderful place it would be...
The Dome if the Rock view is amazing
Cool to see the military guy flash the peace symbol
Thanks for filming this and doing your thing. Oneness
Rewatching this again and think I will have to make it to Jerusalem someday! ~~
I was there in 2015 and it still looks amazing.
Another great video - on a roll this summer; great to see! I wonder if you have any videos addressing tips regarding travel fatigue - relaxation techniques, routines, etc. Obviously, your travel stamina is through the roof, but it would be interesting to know if you have any tips for folks way less conditioned/experienced with long-term world travel yet inspired by your vlogs.
Thanks for the detailed tour of Jerusalem. Fascinated with Jewish history. Will have to get around to watching the video again. Enjoy your trip to Greece!!
Just caught up on your superb Israel videos , i spent 7 days in Jerusalem in 1994 and seeing the sights and old streets once again brings back some great memories. It certainly wasn't cheap even all those years ago ! Hope those sandles didn't rub too much !
Just a great video...thanks for showing us around !! Cheers from Toronto.
The artwork at 27:15 - 27:59 could be interpreted as Abraham taking his son to the mountain to offer him as a burnt offering. There on the mountain God provided himself the sacrifice, a ram caught in the thicket. The correlating scripture is Gen 22
Yes!! As a picture type of John 3 🥰
I believe the mosaic you were describing was depicting Abraham about to sacrifice his son Isaac but in the end sacrifices a ram instead (as per the Old Testament).
Exactly.
I have been to Jerusalem,.. and will tell you, never have I felt soo much hate
It’s a city of fire a lot of tension form radical religions people are radicals and extreme and hate each o others ignorance
I love that you’re using that shirt in old Jerusalem. 😅
Great work, thank you so much, very informative about wimen in army 2 years.
Hi Gabriel, get your sandals wet when you go on a beach and they wear in quicker and not so painful when you are wearing in. Football players put new boots on in the bath then wear them in.
Great tip. 👍
Thanks for showing me the bazaar. It saves me from getting hassled
Gabriel can't handle stoping near some good looking sandals 😁 4:50
👍 Your channel❣️
Thanks so much 4 sharing!!
Especially loved those
Mosaic pictures on the wall!!
🙏 🇦🇺 🐨
Congratulations Gabriel, super interesting video.
Love the trippy music and camera work at the very beginning. More of that please.. 🙏
I really want to see that city!
The Old City of Jerusalem is one of the most intense places on Earth! At the heart of the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian religions
Those sandals are so cool!! Could imagine they may be a touch slippery on the cold stone ground
Hi Gabriel last time I saw one of your videos you were talking to Teal Swan some years back. Today you just appeared on my feed. Great to see what you've been up to. Keep up the great work
This brings back memories I love visiting Jerusalem I got my wife engagement ring from a little shop there such a beautiful place
Superb video Gabe, what an interesting place, so much history. Definitely need to make sure I visit there one day. Enjoy the Greek Islands 👍🙂
Another fantastic video Gabe
Thanks.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I saw this video 2X Gabe and now I want to visit Jerusalem
Appreciate your content Gabe,longtime subscriber.Be safe Friend.
That was so beautiful Gabriel! thanks.
Cool that you met a fan :)
Thank you for your lovely video,,,but still I don’t know how you can walk a very long way without proper shoes .
i was in Jerusalem a few years ago and its amazing to see that old buildings and religions in one place
Loving your travel through Israel 💙
Find some saddle soap in Greece.
That will soften up the leather on your new sandals. ! 🤞🤞
Thanks for the tip. ✌
@@GabrielTravelerVideos hope it helps.
relax and enjoy Greece..🇬🇷
I know that the Armenian are Christians but I did not know they have a separate Quarter in Jerusalem. I need a trip there to watch the Holy Fire.
Basically because they have a different church : the Armenian Apostolic Church
The Old City is my favorite part of Jerusalem. That said, other things that you should do are: 1) have coffee or breakfast on the terrace of the King David hotel and 2) wander the narrow alleys of Yemin Moshe, a neighborhood across the ravine from the Christian quarter. I was there once during Rosh Hashana and managed to hear a shofar from the Western Wall, the Muslim call to prayer and church bells all at the same time. Incredible.
The mural with the guy holding a sword is Abraham about to sacrifice his only son but the angel intervened and provided a ram, see it stuck in the bush, to sacrifice as a burnt offering.
Marvellous coverage, thank you for letting us to know about the history.
The Mosaics at 26:00 represents some of the major story's of the Torah and also depictions of the Twelve Tribes Of Israel! It was a depiction of the Akeida, where God tested Abraham for the 10th and final time, asking him to sacrifice his Son Isaac something that Abraham felt very strongly against as it was something that the Idolatrous people of the land were fully immersed in; The Sacrificial Cult Of Moloch!
Abraham went along with it because God told him, Isaac was 38 years old at the time and in the end of the story, Isaac was switched for a Ram that had been caught in a thicket of brush.
I love seeing your videos that capture the places from in the Bible and where Jesus had been. So amazing , thank you !
As a rule I like your videos. However your Greece videos are the best and my favourite
I love this city I was there 15 years ago great adventure
Incredible
If you can pick up some oil, like coconut, I advise you smother your sandals in it, let it sit over night then wash off in the morning. It might speed up the softening of the leather. I leave it for longer, but 8-12 hours might still help.
Another great video!
Cool, thanks for the tip.
Another great video great work and nice commentary.
The city is magnificent with all that history, culture and monuments if only peace would prevail there ..things would be much better
It's not really called the wailing wall any more, it sounds very old fashioned.
What a brilliant fascinating video, thank you Gabriel for making and sharing. 🙏👍
Awesome vlog. Thanks for show.❤
.."the honking" ..lol yes alot better sounds!!
Very nice!
Love your hair like this
Amazing informative video,keep up the good work.stay Blessed ❤️🙏Love from Oman 🇴🇲 ❤️
Interesting and beautiful video
Wow this is surreal! 🤩 Great video Gabriel.😉
My first video of this channel was the video at the damascus gate 4 years ago. I think this is your first video in 4 years where you visit a location twice.
At 7:14. . . . . I thought those Elephant Pants were found mainly in Thailand.
Maybe they were imported.
Awesome video Gabriel Traveler watching from New Brunswick Canada. Would love to see you do a video in the future of New Brunswick Canada and the East Coast of Canada. 😊Safe travels love all your Adventures 😊
If you want to get out the heat in July a great place to visit is the western wall tunnel and the underground museum excavations in the city of david.
Travelling there has obviously opened up many eyes to the beauty of the place. If we could dispel hate and complete bigotry for Gabriel going there-all the religions live in peace in that city and let no one stop him.
TEVA sandals are really comfortable Gabe.
Yes, I have a pair of Tevas with me. But I also like to have a pair of more casual sandals. You can see my Tevas in this video: ua-cam.com/video/sZ-3jMPYI90/v-deo.html
Gabriel,
The mosaic with the flame, the man with the sword/knife, and holding another person by the neck, and the goat near a bush/ tree---- the is an illustration of the sacrifice (intended sacrifice) of Isaac by his father, the patriarch, Abraham.
Incidentally, that is actually a pre-Biblical motif. I think there exists an example in the British Museum in London.
I have not given much thought to visiting Israel.Thank you, for you have inspired me to put Israel on my list.
The story is Isaac is found in the book of Genesis.
You beat me to it.
Also I think the other mosaic is the Garden of Eden with the snake
AMAZING video!! Of an amazing city. Well done ! It must be so cool to have people recognize you from your channel and stop for a little chat. You're world famous, bro! ;-)
Hey Gabriel- always enjoying your vids. I was in Jerusalén October 2021 - pandemic still on - I see now people do not wear masks - have all restrictions lifted? No more PCR tests required? Keep having fun.
No restrictions, everything is normal.
Great video gabe, Hope you are enjoying Greece 👍👍
Definitely. 😎
I'm looking to travel there very soon. Is it good to go solo? Or with a tour group?
Even Gabriel likes the market in Jerusalem that is impressive hahaha
Looks very historic I must visit! Have a nice time in Jerusalem! 👌
I bought a pair of sandals there, possibly very close to where you just purchased yours.

If Jerusalem was never mentioned in the Quran, how can it be a capitol city of a place that doesn't exist?
@@ponyclub3198 This land belongs to the Levantines, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. The original inhabitants are not the Ukrainians and the Ethiopian Falashas
That mosaic you were referring to of the man with the sword holding the boy over the fire is surely a depiction of Abraham who was asked by God to sacrifice his son Isaac (as a test). When God saw that Abraham was willing to offer his son as a sacrifice, he blessed him and also sent a ram to be sacrificed in Isaac's stead.
The story can be found in Genesis 22:
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham,
"Father?”
“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.
“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.”
And the two of them went on together. When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
"Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
Try to go to the Dead Sea…..great place 👍
Thx ! Great video 👏👍
Always rewarding to look upwards....reading the various phases of buildings.....also imagine the millions of steps taken on that market floor.....people through history bartering and buying....a fascinating place . .regardless of politics.....
One of your best videos! Lived there for one year in 1977, back to visit in 2018, and hoping to go back again soon.
So many people fighting for this city for thousands of years.

I am German, and I deplore deeply the pain (the word being much to weak to describe the reality) the generation of my grandparents and the nationalsocialist regime have caused first to the Jews of Europe and thereafter to the Palestinians. I fully understand the need of the Jews/Israelis for a safe homeland and I also understand the grief of the Palestinians to be driven of the land they inhabited for centuries. The Shoa and the Nakba are fruits of the same horrible tree of sadness. I think Germany got off way to easy after the second world war and I still think we should be called to responsibility to solve the problems we after all have caused. It is not fair that we do live as one of the wealthiest nations in the world and Palestinians are being pushed to live in those conditions.
It's not only the Germans who are "responsible" for Israel and the Zionist movement. It's the pogroms in Russia and Ukraine, the massacres and persecutions of Jews for 2000 years throughout Europe or the non violent yet crushing antisemitism and discrimination against Jews like in the Dreyfus affair in France, which put the Idea in Herzl's head that the only solution for the Jews is a homeland of their own.
There should be a distinction though between the Nakba and the state of the Palestinians today which in my opinion is 100% their own doing. It's their own doing because the Palestinians are not willing to reach a peaceful compromise over the land. They started the wars and continue to fight Israel and their suffering is the direct result of that. The roadblocks, the security wall, checkpoints etc., all of these could have been avoided had they agreed to live peacefully alongside Israel instead of trying to destroy it.
Also the gap between the standard of living of the Israelis compared to that of the Palestinians is a result of the Israelis' focus on life, creation, development and care for their fellow citizens. That's why there's a democracy in Israel and there isn't in the Palestinian territories. There's also a gap between the Israeli economy an all other Arab countries. It's because the populations are different and not because the Israelis oppress the Palestinians and prevent them from building a more decent lives for themselves.
@@abcxyz8787 All this hatred makes me so sad and hopeless. The transgenerational trauma we inherit from our parents and grandparents which causes new trauma that is being passed on and on and on. Why can´t humanity pull the brakes and concentrate on healing and repairing the damage that was done instead of just reproducing the violence we suffered. Violence and hatred are so toxic. Maybe they feel like a quick relief but on a deeper level they keep on poisoning our own lifes, our future and our families. But I am afraid those things accompany mankind since we were living in caves or since Cain slaughtered Abel.
@@kaes7041 I agree with you that the situation is bad. I sympathize with the Palestinians and I think that we Jews have made mistakes but I think that many times the Palestinians just lie about what happened and what's happening. Hatred and violence towards the Arabs was never a part of Zionism. No one hated the Arabs and no one advocated to take their lands by force or kill them. The Zionist project was all about buying lands and settling and developing the land. The violence started from the Arabs' side who felt that the Jews take over the land. Not by force, but with money and numbers and development. So the Arabs chose war. They thought at the time (in 1948 and before that) that they had a chance of getting rid of the Jews by force because they outnumbered the Jews and had help from Arabs around the middle east, but they lost. The Nakba was a result of that war and a result of the Jews fear that by leaving many hostile Arabs in the territory of the Jewish state, they will create a security threat. Many Arabs also fled out of fear without being forced out. The Palestinians were no saints. They murdered or chased out every single Jew in the territories they conquered. Israel actually let many Palestinians stay in its territory and they are now equal citizens of Israel and have a better standard of living than Arabs who live under Palestinian rule or under any other Arab rule actually.
I sympathize with the Palestinians because if the Zionist movement hadn't been founded, the Brits would have probably given the land to the Arabs. I don't know if there would have been a Palestinians state, probably not. probably the land would have been split between Jordan, Egypt and Syria. But it would have been part of an Arab country. But on the other hand there are the Jews who no one cared about and no one treated fairly and equally and it's the non Jewish world who is responsible for pushing the Jews to a corner where they saw no other solution to their problems other than trying to establish a Jewish state in the land of their forefathers.
@@abcxyz8787 The Jewish people is special.Whether it is that they are really chosen by god or whether it is their emphasis on education and study or the historic circumstances they experienced or any combination of the above no one will ever know for sure. But they produced so many men and women of such extraordinary intellectual capacity from Albert Einstein to all the great philosophers to Erich Mühsam to name just a few, that I am confident they will find a way in the end. I just sometimes have the feeling they project some of the pain and humiliation they had to experience in the holocaust on the Palestinians instead of blaming the real predators because it is less painful maybe? But I admit I am not in the position to give advice on this delicate subject. Anyway, I am glad the Jewish people is thriving despite all its historic enemies and you can be so proud of what you achieved by the strength and resilience of the Jewish nation all by themselves. Our loss that we don´t have you among us in Europe anymore.
@@kaes7041 My last comment was censored and I don't feel like writing it again. I'll just write that Israelis have suffered a lot of violence at the hand of the Palestinians and that's the main reason why some Israelis don't trust the Palestinians and don't like them very much.
Germany seems to be to doing quite well without having many Jews in it, so I guess you don't lose a lot for not having a lot of Jews in Germany today.
Gabe, the sandals were a rip off too. Should have paid half ($10). The belt was $10 max too, and it is probably fake leather. 🙄
Thank you for this video.. just amazing to see this amount of history in one place.
I want to see the house of prayers in Jerusalem.
Perfect
If you have time you would enjoy visiting the ruins at Beit She'an, Megiddo, Zippori and Caesarea. Also Masada on the dead sea. Love your videos.
Hi I love your video
may I ask you about King Baldwin 4 grave. Is it still in sepulchre church or not ?
thank you sir 🙏
Israel is a fantastic interesting place you said your going back to greece ,that's great. Im born in the UK. But parents are greek cypriot. So greece cyprus is my world .I know I keep banging on about Cyprus. They have amazing beaches and hotels in Cyprus being there main industry.

I wondered Gabriel have you ever thought of paying a video editor for upcoming videos which would have less stress than editing videos yourself? For example Wolters World and Drew Binsky pay video editors for them to edit their videos to reduce the stress and hassle.
They have day jobs

@@michaelgarcia6400 That’s correct Wolters World guy is a college professor. But when he started out he had to edit his videos, but after gaining over half a million followers he decided to use a video editor to do his editing. It made his life easier
@@dee74raz Gabriel is obviously a frugal guy who travels constantly and lives a very different lifestyle than the other two , as I’m sure you know. Spending on editing may not be something he can afford.

I wish there is law if any vendor ask 10 times more than it's actual price
Need to put him in jail for 90 days no probation.
Jerusalem looks really interesting to visit. Pretty complex history.😲👍😊
Altought shooting video would be problematic, going to Mea She'arim would have been a good experience for you.
Why are you saying that it’s not really allowed to film there you are a jerk
