The Golden Gate is the oldest of the gates in Jerusalem's Old City walls. It has great religious significance: it is said that Jesus passed through this gate on Palm Sunday, and in Jewish tradition it is through this gate that the Messiah will enter Jerusalem. The gate is thought to have been sealed from as early as 11th century during Arab occupation of the city, to prevent the entry of the Messiah. |

At Aswan we bade farewell to Nubia and the blameless Ethiopians, and found ourselves once more branching the Nile of Egypt." In December 1898, Clara Whitcomb, a young woman from Chicago, chronicled her trip to Egypt and the Levant in 1898-1899 in a diary. What makes her remarkable to us, one hundred and eight years later, is that her diary was preserved, allowing us to experience her adventures in the present. Clara illustrated her concise and often witty descriptions of the local people, architecture, and geography with souvenir photographs, hotel receipts, stationery and postcards.
