Primary Activities - Jerusalem

This view of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives shows both the older and the newer parts of the city.

It can be used as a focus for looking at settlement patterns and land use around urban areas.


  • Describe the city in this picture.
  • Can you work out which part of the city is older and which is newer?
  • Think about the different types of buildings and say what some of them might be used for.
  • Look at the materials that have been used to construct and decorate the buildings. Choose one building and describe what you think it has been made of.
  • What can you see in the front of the picture?
  • Look and listen out for reports about Jerusalem in newspapers and on the television and radio; these should give you some ideas as to why this city is so famous.
  • If you were to visit Jerusalem, what other places and towns nearby might you also go to see?
