Dangers & annoyances

Demonstrations and marches are pretty common in Jerusalem and while they are usually peaceful, it’s still a good idea to remain vigilant in case things get rowdy. The Mount of Olives has not always been the friendliest area to walk and some female travellers walking there alone have been hassled by locals. If possible, visit the area in pairs.
