Very organized and clean. Walking it's small streets was a nice experience. It is very different from the rest quarters at the Old City.

So much trouble has been made to restore the place and it is still ongoing. Should be in your trip plans.

Each of the quarters in the Old City represent an amazing ability for these cultures to live together, a bit challenging but they do it!
