Putting Jerusalem on the Map
Jerusalem covers 125 sq km (48 sq miles). In terms
of geographical extent, this makes it Israel's largest
city. However, despite its surface area, it is less
populous than the Tel Aviv urban area. Only
700,000 people live here - 460,000 Jews, 225,000
Muslims and 15,000 Christians. At the core of
Jerusalem is the walled Old City, standing 800 m
(2,600 ft) above sea level. Dotted on the hilltops
around, and strung along the valley floors between,
are the ever-expanding modern suburbs. The city
limits extend almost to the Palestinian towns of
Ramallah in the north and Bethlehem to the south.
