- Ein Kerem is a secluded village suburb on the outskirts of West Jerusalem. Surrounded
by hills dotted with olive and cypress trees, the village is refreshingly quiet although only
20 minute bus ride southwest of the city centre. Ein Kerem's stone houses are now
mostly inhabited by Israeli artists and sculptors, and there is a wide variety of art
galleries in the village. Alongside, there is also a choice of small cafes and restaurants.
Travellers will be interested in visiting also the large number of religious sites (Jewish
and Christian) in and around Ein Kerem, the reputed birthplace of John the Baptist The
