While the tradition is that the rock tried to follow Mohamed (S.A.W) into Heaven, the photographic evidence and eye witness accounts is that the rock is part of the mountain. The rock is undercut in such a way that there is access to the Well of Souls, but it is not levitating in any way from the rest of the mountain.

6 miles, or 9.6 kilometres, from the center of Jerusalem.

It is a territorial dispute mostly. There are different factions that believe Jerusalem should "belong" to them, or politically be under their control, because of their history there, both secular and religious. For many of those groups, Jerusalem is a sacred place in their religion. For example, Jerusalem is the 3500 year old spiritual and national center of the Jewish people, where important early Jewish Temples stood, and the religion developed. It is also considered holy land in the Islamic and Christian religions.

The land began being called Palestine by the Romans after the destruction of the second Jewish Temple of Jerusalem. There are those, who because of that, believe that the first Palestinians were the Jews, and the land should still be theirs to govern. After that, the early Christian Religion was also centered there, and more and more Christians made pilgrimages to the Holy Land, eventually added to the settlements there, and hold a strong connection with the area, as well. The Islamic religion is just as closely tied to the area as are the Jewish and Christian religions.

Political changes were made in the governments in the area after the World Wars that are still disputed and peace talks have, so far, created no agreement or compromise to settle the territorial dispute. As the area grows in population, land becomes more precious in the Holy area, and competition for the resources and land continues to plague the area with fighting and wars.

Chametz can be eaten in Jerusalem until the morning before Passover and cannot be eaten again until the end of the Passover season. The exact time until when chametz can be eaten is publicized locally in Jewish communities. Some religious Jews burn or destroy any chametz they have in preparation for Passover.

It depends on the airline, and whether you are flying first class or another level. The Standard Weight Limit Is typically 15-25 kilograms per person.

Anything over this will incur fees.

You can book extra weight for your baggage with your travel agent where you can have, for instance, 20kg instead of 15kg, but there will still be an upper limit beyond which they will not carry your bag.

Christians were allowed to stay in Jerusalem primarily due to the city's historical and religious significance to them. After the Muslim conquest in the 7th century, agreements were made to protect the rights of religious minorities, allowing Christians to maintain their places of worship and live in the city. Additionally, the presence of Christian communities was often seen as a means to promote coexistence and stability within the diverse population of Jerusalem.

The Old City of Jerusalem is located in the dead-center of the overall City of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is located in Israel, which is in the Middle East. The State of Palestine claims East Jerusalem, which includes a number of modern Arab neighborhoods and the Old City.

There is much discussion concerning Jerusalem's proper legal nature and ownership:

Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel annexed East Jerusalem and considers it a part of Israel, although the international community has rejected the annexation as illegal and considers East Jerusalem occupied territory. The international community does not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and most foreign embassies are located in Tel Aviv and its suburbs. Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of a future Palestinian state. Israel, however, considers the entire city to be a part of Israel following its annexation of East Jerusalem through the Jerusalem Law of 1980.
