Rehavam Ze'evi Observation – A breathtaking view of the Old City

All the information about the Rehavam Ze'evi Observation – A breathtaking view of the Old City Location: On the Mount of Olives, the Rehavam Ze'evi z"l viewpoint. For the soul and for coffee: In memory of Brigadier General (Res.) Rehavam Ze'evi, who was a minister in the Government of Israel. Rehavam Ze'evi (Gandhi) grew up and was educated in Jerusalem, and sadly was also murdered in Jerusalem. The breathtaking observation point from the top of the Mount of Olives, above the ancient cemetery beneath the 7 Arches Hotel, one of the hotels that was famous during the Jordanian rule. At the place there is a small amphitheater where you can sit facing the view, enjoy a steaming cup of coffee—straight from the samovar—and "get tipsy" from the beauty of Jerusalem. When to come: At all hours of the day and the night. One of the most beautiful sights from this point is the sunrise over Jerusalem—the amazing sight of how, little by little, the black shadow moves away from the city until the Golden Dome shines in the light of the rising sun. In recent years, the place was not pleasant at night; a Border Police (Magav) base was established there. Type of vehicle: Any vehicle. Tip for good coffee in the field: Heat water on the stove, put it into the water (before it boils). For each cup, add a heaped teaspoon. Let the coffee steep in the water, reduce the flame a little, and add half a teaspoon of sugar to each cup. Let the water with the coffee reach its first boil, stir, and turn off the gas. Then… (here is the discovery of the special patent), after the boil add about five drops of vanilla. This gives the coffee a special taste.
