Jerusalem: A Bucket List Destination

When popular website Huffington Post recently turned to the community of travelers at Minube.net, asking them to find the greatest destinations on Earth, Jerusalem came in at number 14 in their list of “The Top 50 Cities to must see in your lifetime.

Along with New York, London, Rome, Kyoto, Lalibela, Paris ,Petra and Marrakesh to name but a few, Jerusalem is listed because the city “is a true crossroads of cultures, cuisines, and beliefs. Nowhere is this more evident than in the streets of the Old City, home to some of history’s greatest persons and events.” Read the article here.

With well over a million shares on Facebook, the list has proved so popular that it is now available in Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Korean.

This ranking comes shortly after the recent publication in the UK Telegraph entitled “The Ultimate Travel Bucket List of 25 Things to do before you die”. In this case, it was journalist Chris Moss who listed a visit to Jerusalem and the Holy Land along with visiting the Antarctic, seeing the wildlife in Namibia, walking the Great Wall of China and visiting the gardens and temples in Kyoto.

Chris writes: “When you see the faces of the faithful as they walk in groups along the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, or approach the Wailing Wall, or see the Dome of the Rock for the first time, you know that for many people a trip to the Holy Land is a genuine trip of a lifetime. Part of the reason for the Holy Land being so affecting is the spiritual predisposition of visitors; they come here to seek God, to feel blessed. But it’s also due to the many layers of architectural and archaeological heritage left by the civilisations that have held sway here, from the Canaanites, Egyptians, Assyrians and Babylonians to the Romans, Crusaders, Ottomans and imperial British.”
