New Gate

The New Gate (Arabic: باب الجديدBab al-Jedid; Hebrew: השער החדשHaSha'ar HeChadash) is the newest gate in Jerusalem's Old City Walls, built in 1898 to provide direct access to the Christian Quarter for the visit of the German Emperor William II.

It is also called the Gate of Hammid after the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The gate is located in the northwestern part of the wall and faces north.

During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, when Jordan captured East Jerusalem (which includes the Old City of Jerusalem) it was sealed off. It was reopened again in 1967 after Israel's capture of East Jerusalem during the Six-Day War.

The New Gate is just another way into the Old City. There is a falafel place just inside to the left, but not worth stopping. The food is so-so and prices way too high. Eat at Jacob's Pizza instead

Did you know that The New Gate was built at the highest point of the present wall, 2,590 ft above sea level!
