Jerusalem is not only the capital of Israel, but also the largest city and
one of the fastest growing towns with a population of about 650,000 inhabitants
of which about 70% is Jewish and 30% is non – Jewish population. The fast
growth is due to a high birth rate and high number of immigrants.
Jerusalem is situated in the Judean Hills at a height of about 762 meters above
sea level.
The Israeli parliament, the president’s residence and the government offices
are located in Jerusalem.
The city has went through many political and religious turmoil, the main reason
is because Jerusalem is honored by three major world religions (Christians,
Islam, Judaism).
Jerusalem has warm and dry summers and rather cool and rainy winters. The average
temperature in January is about 9°C and in August about 24°C.
