A Beautiful View Outside of Jerusalem

If you've ever driven up to Jerusalem, you might have passed by a truly amazing lookout spot, overlooking the amazing hills surrounding Jerusalem. The spot is known as the Arthur Rubinstein Lookout.

You can see this spot pretty clearly from the highway, it has giant white concrete fingers, resembling piano keys. That is because the spot was built in commemoration of famous Jewish pianist Arthur Rubinstein. Hence the name.

The view from the lookout is quite breathtaking, we highly recommend it as a nice spot for a picnic, BBQ, pakal kafe, or even just a refreshing stop on your way out of, or to Jerusalem. The fresh clear air and the scenery will refill your batteries.
