Walking across the hot ancient slabs that lie before the wailing wall I could feel the searing heat through my sandals. We turned to climb a steep sandy pathway which led to a very old green painted door, passing though this doorway what I saw left me quite lost for words. We had entered another world, there were trees of varying shades of green and in the shadows on the soft welcome grass sat a group of Arab women chatting and laughing - relaxed and cool in the slight breeze. Behind I saw the golden dome gleaming in the sunlight, this whole place was so beyond what I had expected to find on my visit to Jerusalem and will stay in my mind forever.
