Located at the entrance to the Old City, near the Jaffa Gate, the old citadel (popularly known as the Tower of David) offers a great way to begin your visit to Jerusalem. From the top, you can admire the panoramic view of the surrounding area. To delve deeper into the city's history, visit the Museum of the History of Jerusalem, situated inside the fortress, or catch the Night Spectacular show, which combines entertainment and education. Built by Herod the Great, the citadel is thought to be the place where Jesus's death sentence was pronounced. It later served as a hub for the Crusaders and the Ottomans and was restored several times.

The Church of Assumption of the Virgin Mary was built in 1878 on the hill above the village. At the main facade there is an inscription: Hoc templum aedifigatum A. D. 1878. The church was restored twice, in 1898 and in 1938.

Half Moon Bay is relatively small, picturesque beach located on the West End. The bay may not be big, however, it boasts different activities such as boating and snorkelling, and is a pleasant spot for beach-lovers and water sports enthusiasts. The boating area is usually bustling with scuba divers and fishermen, but the swimming area on the other side is not used as frequently.

Adjacent to the Al Aqsa Mosque, the Islamic Museum is dedicated to Islamic history and different Muslim religions. The building once belonged to the Knights Templar. The museum boasts as many as 600 Qur'an copies from various eras, each of them with an interesting history and different decorations. Other exhibits display traditional furnishings, weapons, and historical objects.
