Jerusalem Market

Thank goodness we are a small group with a private guide. I don't think a bus full of 30+ people would have had the opportunity to do what we did next.

We drove to the largest market in Israel - it covers several square blocks - and had lunch.

Most of the market is under cover, but some of it is open air. There are vendors selling every imaginable type of fruit, vegetable, meat, fish and more.

There are a few cafes, and we found a Persian place that offered a plate with two large, spiced meatballs on a bed of rice and vegetables.
