By no means is Jerusalem flat. The city is divided between the Old City and the New City that surrounds the old. The Old City lies on a plateau (sometimes refered to as the Hill of Luz--Hill of Almonds--in older texts) at the confluence of three valleys: Kidron, Hinnom, and Tyropoenon. The plateau is a spur of the Judean Mountains and is made up of the Mount of Olives to the east of the city, and Mount Scopus to the northeast of the Old City.
