Just inside Damascus Gate on the left is a lovely little juice bar run by Waseem. Fresh squeezed orange juice, pomegranate juice are available, and Waseem can make almost any kind of slushy depending on which fruits are in season. Regular sodas and bottled water are also available.

Waseem’s specialty is almond juice which he makes from an old family recipé. Service is with a smile and advice about the Old City of Jerusalem is freely given in perfect English.

If you visit Waseem for a juice, tell him Fred sent you.
