via A Tur

We went first to Abu Dis. On the way (via A Tur), we noticed an Israeli flag flying on a rather large building near the turn to the Intercontinenal Hotel. We never noticed this before -- obviously yet another property has been quietly taken over by settlers.

Abu Dis

Abu Dis is like a ghost town. There was no one coming or going through the old pishpash. Almost no one in the center of the town (most shops are closed), and nothing has changed in the area of the Cliff Hotel except that it gets shoddier from week to week.
