This picture provides a street view of the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem, one of the most important and frequently used gates to the Old City.

The Jaffa Gate and Jaffa Road are named after the port of Jaffa, from which the Prophet Jonah embarked on his sea journey and pilgrims embarked on their trip to the Holy City.
