Armon Hanatziv (Commissioner's Palace) was the British High Commissioner's house in Palestine before 1948 and presently the UN forces' Middle East headquarters. The place is more famous for its 1 km long promenade known by the same name or simply "Tayelet" (Promenade) in Israel; offers one of the most beautiful views into Jerusalem, especially to the Temple Mount areas. The promenade itself is made of three walkways viz. Goldman, Haas and Gabriel Sherover Promenades. There is even a 4th walkway called Trotner, which I suppose we missed. Due to its strategic location for all three monotheistic religions, Israeli government has massive construction plans to convert the area into a truly touristic hub in future. Follow the photographs below for an overall view of Jerusalem.
