Beware when using credit card with merchants in old city of Jerusalem by: Anonymous
Our credit card has recently been defrauded of $220 by a merchant in the old city of Jerusalem. His shops are located near the Tower of David and one is real close to the Christian Student Center. The store names are Maraka Gifts Card and Novelty's. The other is called Tower of David Gift shop (not to be confused with the lovely Museum gift shop). The owner, his brother and father are aggressive, intimidating and robbers. Please notify me by email if you have an address and phone number for this shop. Obviously we didn't know we would run into this type of dilemma after we arrived home to our country. Be careful, safe, and try not to use credit cards in these small merchant shops since many merchants are on the street and hard to find again.
Looks Fantastic! by: Melanie
Thank you for your family vacation idea of Jerusalem! It is a place that I have always wanted to visit. Looks like the market is a lot of fun!
