Jerusalem is one the most important cities in the world, being the fulcrum point of several of the world's religions. This map covers the city itself, with an expanded inset of the historic walled city and an inset map showing Israel's growing rail network. We have chosen not to show the barricades dividing the city into the East and West, as this is a bone of contention within Jerusalem and we do not wish our travel map to become embroiled political controversy. Users should take note, however, that they will encounter barricades upon occasion. For Christians, the route of the Via Delarosa, or Stations of the Cross, is shown. All churches and mosques are shown. The Temple Mount is included, although at time of writing it is reserved for Muslims only. The second side of the map concentrates on what Christians believers think of as the Holy Land. By neccesity, this includes Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Acre, and Haifa, which are notable historic cities, but the focus of this map is to emphasize such points of interest as Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth, Nablus, the divisions between Israel and Palestinian West Bank and Gaza because they are here. It should be noted that entire border area with Jordan is controlled by Israel, although it techinically is within the West Bank territory. This side of the map also includes an excellent inset map of Tel Aviv.
