 Welcome back to my YouTube channel. I am here today on a food rampage. Sometimes you wake up with the desire to have a specific food. I woke up today with a huge craving for ful. I'm here with my good friend, Marcus James, lives in the area and we're going to be going on a quick ful and hummus tour in the middle of the afternoon. We're starting in a place called Alayad. It's just outside the Damascus Gate and then we're going to head inside the Damascus Gate and check out a better-known place called Lena and they both do ful. My opinion is that if you're looking for a good ful madame's slow cooked ful, the place to come is to East Jerusalem. So we're here, we're going to check out the food options. So we've just finished up here in Alayad. The ful was full of the taste of garlic. Some of the fava beans are full and some are this kind of almost like liquidy consistency but they give you a side dish of hot sauce called an Arabic shataw and you just kind of mix it all in and make this delicious thing. So this was our first feed. After ful you are certainly full. Just inside the old city by Damascus Gate there's a place called the Rimo and Himo Brewery and they do Taiba beer which is one of the two main Palestinian beers. The other one's a beer called Sheppard's. Taiba is just outside Ramallah and they have their own Oktoberfest. So this is one of the places you can find it on draft here for about 20 shackles. So where I come to buy my coffee in Jerusalem it's a place called Iziman. It's on a side street just inside the old city. They sell finely ground Turkish coffee with cardamom. They ground it here on premises. There's also a very good place called Sanduka and in my opinion these two are the best places. If you're into Turkish coffee, Arabic coffee places to buy Iziman's. It's impossible to visit the Muslim quarter of the old city or really anywhere in the old city without picking up some Arabic coffee. They make this fresh with coffee that is rich with the scent of cardamom and they just brew it in a finjan. So here's Marcus. Cheers mate. We're enjoying our time checking out the old city and this is something that when people live in Jerusalem you neglect to see this. It's truly one of the most amazing place of the world. We're gonna check out a quick art gallery then continue on our way after some refreshing coffee. So unfortunately Lina's restaurant closes at four o'clock so we've missed it for the day but we found a juice vendor here. I'm having some pomegranate juice. One of the really interesting things about fruit and vegetables in Israel is the produce is very very seasonal. So just before Rosh Hashanah which is coming up soon which in Arabic is called Rosh Hashanah, a very cognate language. The pomegranate season has arrived so we're getting some juice now we're gonna check out the view from the Austrian hospice while we're in this part of the old city. We're here at the top of the Austrian hospice which affords one of the most beautiful views of all the old city. It's just after the call to prayer here you can see the Austrian flag behind me so Marcus was telling me that this was built for Austrian pilgrims. A lot of the church property in the city that serves as accommodation including Notre Dame was actually built by churches or by chapters of churches in order to provide accommodation for them while they were making their pilgrimages to Jerusalem. But nowadays of course they're open thankfully to people of all religious beliefs. There's a five-second charge to get up to the roof top here it's about one dollar absolutely worth it for what one of the most beautiful views and if you want to come at the call to prayer you can also time your visit accordingly and you can see all here over across Easter Islam the seven arches hotel there up on the on the east we can see the Al Aqsa mosque at the Temple Mount. In fact I can see it behind me in the camera here so for history fans there's a lot to do here.
