Quick ride by bicycle from Old City to East Jerusalem

Hey there, adventurous pedaler! Ready for a short yet delightful ride? Your journey kicks off in the enchanting Old City, a place where history echoes through its ancient walls and narrow, winding alleys. With its rich tapestry of cultures and religions, it's a living museum that never ceases to mesmerize.

From the Old City, you’ll ride for around 4.2 kilometers towards East Jerusalem. The route is a beautiful mix of elevations with a modest ascent of about 106 meters, giving you just the right amount of challenge without being too grueling. You might want to stop and catch a breath on the way up—maybe at that max elevation of 770 meters—because the views are sure to be spectacular.

The surface is mostly smooth sailing with about 35% of the route on asphalt, so your tires will thank you. The traffic is generally chill on quiet roads for over half the ride, letting you soak in the sights without too much hustle.

East Jerusalem awaits at the end of your ride, where old meets new in a vibrant cultural blend. It’s the perfect spot to explore further, grab a bite, and maybe reflect on the journey you've just completed. Happy cycling! 🚴‍♂️🌟
