Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Roman influence is present in Jerusalem, especially in the archaeological ruins known as the Roman Market. Classes gather here to discuss history. A modern mural connects then and now. It is worth a stop for those wanting to piece together the complicated history of the city.

The Armenian Church is an ancient Church. Armenia was the first national Christian Church. The Armenian Quarter is in the south-west section of the Old City of Jerusalem; it's the smallest and the oldest quarter of the Walled City. Most convenient entry is through the Jaffa and Zion Gates. There are many ancient remnants from times gone by. The Armenian section rewards a tour of this ancient tradition.

Entering through Jaffa Gate following signs to Western Wall takes one down David Street which is on boundary of Armenian and Christian quarters. This descends (when going towards the Wall) in series of steps with small shops win either side and can be extremely busy - was when I visited - not a route would want to be on with a pushchair or anyone who has difficulty walking - there are other indirect routes to the Wall. However if you can stand the crowded street the atmosphere is buzzing.

My group walked around the Armenian Quarter while exploring the Old City in Jerusalem, and it was really beautiful! There were Armenian restaurants, Armenian pottery shops, and other sights. We also stopped in to the courtyard of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, which was very beautiful. Definitely worth exploring if you're taking your time in the Old City!

Surprised that there were 4 quarters of the walled Old City of Jerusalem. One is Armenian and we know we are walking thru its walkways when we had lunch in one of their Armenian restaurants. Not much we knew of Armenian ties to Christianity but that they were probably descendants of Japhet, son of Noah?

Most friendly place in old Jerusalem ist the tile and pottery shop.

Be prepared for large crowds but we’ll worth it. Arriving earlier in the day is better. The church is beautiful and the surrounding area is safe and clean. This is one of two areas that they believe Christ was buried.

If you're looking for an authentic souk experience but don't want to walk all over the Old City, this is a good and friendly place to start.
You'll find everything from tacky souvenirs to shoes, rugs and spices and pretty much everything in-between. Hawkers are shameless and you have to be hard-nosed about haggling or you will be royally ripped off but you can't help but smile at the sheer audaciousness of some of the shop-keepers. It's not uncommon for them to pitch an item at you for $80-100 and you buy it for less than $10 but in the process expect lots of theatrics and tales of how they have children to feed; it all adds to the experience so if that sounds like your idea of purgatory, this souk isn't for you!

The Armenian Museum is facinating, as it documents the history of this embattled minority, and the horrific Armenian Holocaust perpetrated by elements in the Ottoman army, with assistance by Kurds, in which 1.5 - 2.5 million Armenians were murdered, between 1915 and 1917.

So clean the floors sparkle which is the only place besides the Holy Sepulchre and Christian Quarter. Because the crowds were so light, we were able to stroll several times throughout the four Quarters and see folks going about their daily business of preparing their foods, setting up shop, cleaning their homes and going to Mass or service. Many of the gates and doorways were open in the Armenian Quarter so that a passerby could get a glimpse of life behind the walls! Some of the floors sparkled they were so clean and tidy. No where else did we see this in all of Jerusalem.
The tile work and family name plaques are beautiful and flowers and trees in courtyards lovely.
It was impossible to locate a bathroom in this part of our tour one day whereas other Quarters have such accommodations.

We’re looking for an Armenian Speaking guide to tour the Holy Land. Trying to find one among endless guide services is difficult.
Can anyone make a recommendation?
Written 23 February 2019
Since your question is in perfect English, I assume you can communicate in English. If that's the case, you don't need any guides. Every body in holy land speaks English, and are happy to help you. Just go and enjoy.
