That's why Jews have wanted to buy his shop for years. And a tour that you will see for the first time.

This video is for history; it documents the history of Jerusalem's Old City, its streets, and alleyways.

The Old City of Arab Jerusalem. This video is one of a kind. Like it and comment before we start, and let's hit

100k likes! Hopefully, it will break a million views. Share it everywhere, and let me show you things you've never seen.

Let's go! I started my day at the hostel, as usual, and now I'll head to Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The meeting point for anyone in Jerusalem is to meet my friend Hamza, who is a traveler and tour guide born in Jerusalem's Old City,

and very familiar with its streets and details. We'll meet him to take you on a unique tour to explore every area in Jerusalem, especially the Old City.

All the people who lived here, the history, the religions, how people of different religions live together, and many other things.

Let's begin and go meet Hamza. I'm late. I'm at Al-Aqsa Mosque, and since it's after the Al-Duhr prayer,

and it's Sunday, the mosque is empty; no one is here. The mosque is vacant. This is great; I can walk in the squares of Al-Aqsa Mosque

freely. We'll start in the squares of Al-Aqsa, Qubbat as-Sakhra,

the most famous and beautiful mosque. All the mosques are holy and glorified in Al-Aqsa, Jerusalem.

I'll enter the mosque and show you the inside. Then that mosque... We are now inside the Qubbat as-Sakhra mosque,

the most famous of Al-Aqsa's mosques. This is the Dome of the Rock from inside; it looks mighty

with all its fantastic details. This is the rock, and there is a ground floor, but I couldn't film and speak there.

I'll add the video now. The ground floor is under this rock. This is the reason behind naming it the Qubbat as-Sahra (Dome of the Rock) Mosque,

because the dome is built above the rock, and it was the foundation stone of it. It appears huge from the outside,

but actually, from the inside, it is mostly a rock. This was the famous and great Qubbat as-Sahra mosque

in the yards of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Don't be confused; it's one of the mosques—

this is an Aqsa mosque, that one too, so are all the other mosques. Since we are in the last days of Ramadan,

there are always circles of remembrance and retreats. Thankfully, they let them in the last days of Ramadan and allowed them to retreat. Now we're in Al-Qibali mosque,

it's where the Imam prays with all the people. In the rest of the mosques, the Athan is called from here by the Imam.

It's much larger on the inside than the Dome of the Rock, and that's where the Imam stands. Let's walk over there

and see how it looks. Everyone is praying, although it's not a prayer time; they're in remembrance circles and reading Qur'an.

That's where the Imam of Al-Aqsa Mosque—imagine the honor of being chosen as the Imam of Al-Aqsa Mosque among all these people

and praying ahead of the crowds. I'll show you one of the most famous landmarks, but from the backside.

This is Al-Qibali mosque where the Imam prays, and this is another mosque. At the back of it,

there is a wall; it's the most famous wall, the Buraq Wall or the Western Wall of the Jews,

where they press their heads against it. This is why there are barriers and barbed wire and the occupation police.

The back of this wall is the Buraq Wall. It's strange how Muslims pray here, while on the other side...

The Jews are bowing their heads to the wall. Let's continue our tour in Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Being in Al-Aqsa Mosque is like visiting the Cairo Citadel; it's full of landmarks, but here, they're all mosques.

Al-Aqsa Mosque has more than 200 landmarks, can you imagine? Wells, minarets, domes, terraces.

And this is one of the mosques. Is that Al-Rahma Mosque? Al-Rahma, right?

This is called Bab Al-Rahma (Gate of Mercy) Mosque. It's ancient, built from old stones.

I tried to film as much as I can inside Al-Aqsa Mosque. Hamza is late, but he has all the knowledge

so we'll resume the tour in the outskirts of Old Jerusalem and return to pray the sunset prayer in Al-Aqsa Mosque.

We'll start from Bab Al-Silsilah (the Chain Gate), and there is the Buraq Wall, I guess.

Where are we, Hamza? We left Al-Aqsa Mosque, specifically through Bab Al-Silsilah.

This street leads to the Buraq Wall that later became the Western Wall. First, we'll take a tour and visit the Church of the Resurrection

and the Jewish alleyway, then this street. Deal? Let's go! What is this street called?

Al-Silsilah Road. Abo Khadija, the great gentleman. As-salamu alaykum, how are you doing?

This man has a story. Inside his shop, he found a tunnel leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque. I entered this tunnel last year.

This is why the Jews wanted to buy his shop for years because of these tunnels that lead to Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The occupation charges him huge taxes, just to make him leave the shop, but he won't. He keeps paying fortunes but insists on staying.

He's resilient, just like you. Are the shop owners here Palestinians? Hello, Walid, how are you?

Yes, Palestinians, and not just from Jerusalem. In light of recent events and the war, they banned anyone

from outside Old Jerusalem from entering. Only citizens could enter. These shops couldn't open, right?

Some could, yet there were still no tourists. We haven't said anything yet. Jerusalem has almost returned to how it used to be.

At the start of the war, everything was shut down. Security tightened and inspections increased, but... At the start of Ramadan,

they eased restrictions as it wasn't in their favor.

In this street, particularly, there are many Jews,

unlike the rest of the town. Especially religious ones,

And why is that?  - Like I said earlier... - The Western Wall is down the street.

They go there to pray and perform their rituals. I can see many foreigners because, you know, Old Jerusalem

is not only about Al-Aqsa Mosque; it also has the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and many historical monuments.

It's important to Arabs and a major tourist destination for the world, especially for Christians. As we mentioned, we'll visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,

the most important Christian holy site, and we must get inside it. And if we can enter the Western Wall,

- it would be a perfect video. - I can enter – I don't know about you. - I'm a tour guide; I can enter.

- He's a tour guide. - This is Mohamed. - Have you been there before? - Yes, I have.

Could you film inside? I could, but I haven't uploaded anything. This way also leads to the Jewish Quarter.

- This way? - Yes. Would you like to start there or go to the church? Let's start there.

How many alleys are in the Old City of Jerusalem? In the past, it wasn't divided into suburbs,

only in... This is my tour-guide side talking. Only in 1967 did the occupation divide the alleys by sect and religion.

For example, there is the Islamic quarter, the Christian quarter, the Armenian quarter, and the Jewish quarter

that used to be the Moroccan quarter, one of Jerusalem's suburbs. - Why the Moroccans?
- Because they came with Saladin Al-Ayyubi

to this area. Not only Moroccans, Algerians as well, and many Africans. So, Africans helped liberate Jerusalem at that time?

Of course, - they were a part of the population.
- I never knew this. Was Saladin in Egypt then?

or was he here and then moved to Egypt? I don't remember the order of events, but...

specifically, people from Morocco lived in this Moroccan neighborhood, and from Algeria as well. - What is that?
- Now we're in

Old Jerusalem Road. There are many monuments in the Al-Sharaf quarter. I can't say "the Jews' Alley".

We will see many monuments from Roman times,
including ancient roads. They're down the street. I also heard that Jerusalem isn't on a single level,

this is what's special about it; it's made of levels, even here. How many levels?
I heard they're seven.

Let's tell the story of Palestine from the beginning. Who was the first to live here? The Canaanites.

Where did they come from? From the Arabian Peninsula, right. They're... From here on, the Arab and Muslim features

are on this side. It feels 100% Jewish here, and they're one street away from each other.

They're all Jews here; only a few Arabs come to this area. - But its original population was Arab.
- Exactly.

These were Arab Muslim suburbs. There were Jews too; don't think they never lived here, they did, but in much smaller numbers.

However, they were Jews, not Zionists. Our conflict is not with the Jews; they're all Abrahamic religions, and we believe in them.

Our conflict is with the Zionists, who falsify history...

- How could you say this here?
- Why wouldn't I?

If any of those heard us—they're everywhere—

It's the truth. Look how they're staring at us.

- Let them. Listen... enjoy your stay here. I'll fight with you.

It's my first time in the Jewish alley. I didn't use to come either, but when I dived into the history of Palestine and the old Jerusalem,

I started to explore these areas. We're near a synagogue; it's called the El-Kharab Synagogue.

This is the Roman road I told you about; film it. These posts over there are from Roman times.

Is that a church? It's a synagogue. A church is for Christians, and a synagogue is for Jews.

Everywhere in the Old City of Jerusalem you will see names, and they're all wrong; they're all falsified and twisted

to make people forget the original names. Let's continue. He has a lot of knowledge. I wanted to film a video, but I won't.

- Will you?
- No, I'm happy with his; as long as people know more.

- You're already here.
- If anyone is talking about Palestine...

Have you ever made a video about Jerusalem? No, I make short videos on YouTube, but not regular content.

I'm like Ahmed. While we're walking in the Jewish area, I saw a minaret, and Hamza said it was a mosque.

Yes, it's called the Al-Omari Mosque. Imagine that it's in this area; it's currently closed.

Only once, on a previous tour, did I see a man open the gate and enter, and I don't know what happened after.

But this minaret is always silent, and it's not the only mosque here; there is Al-Dissy mosque, we will see it later.
