Weather in Jerusalem

Jerusalem has a subtropical semi-arid climate characterised by cool, rainy winters and warm, dry summers.

Spring (March-May) is rainy yet mild. Almond trees blossom pink and pilgrims flock to holy sites to celebrate Easter and Passover.

Summer (June-September) draws the highest numbers of visitors for the weather is hot and there are lots of festivals and national holidays to enjoy.

Autumn (October-November) is another great time for wandering the city among thin crowds and pleasant weather.

Winter (December-February) can get cold and wet, although snow is rare. Early winter is an affordable time to visit but prices go up around religious events such as Christmas.

Each floor is dedicated to a specific artist, writer, or poet who drew inspiration from the city. Classical music plays in the morning, and jazz serenades you in the afternoon. The breakfast is also delicious.

 

Hashimi Hotel

The Old City’s ‘newest’ hotel is set in a 400-year-old building right in the heart of the Old City. It’s the perfect base to explore the Dome of the Rock, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Western Wall and Jerusalem’s many other famous sights. The 40 rooms are spread over three floors and the rooftop terrace overlooks some of the best views in town.

David Citadel Hotel

This modern 385-room hotel is a short walk from both the Old City and the new city centre and is just around the corner from the trendy Mamilla Mall. A standout feature is the terrace overlooking the pool, a great spot to indulge in Israel’s trademark big breakfast while gazing over the city. After a day’s sightseeing, the L’Occitane spa is a tranquil spot for a restorative massage.

It is steeped in Old City elegance with vaulted ceilings, arched windows and exposed stone.

It has comfortable rooms, a nice restaurant and bar, Wi-Fi throughout, AC and cable TV.

King Solomon Hotel

This 5-star in the centre of Jerusalem caters to religious Jewish travellers by offering its own synagogue, a Glatt Kosher menu and Shabbat lights in the bedrooms.
