| Mahane
Yehuda Market – Situated in the center of
Jerusalem, the Mahane Yehuda Market is a bustling shopping
area filled with the freshest local foods and various low-priced
wares. The abundance of colors and the variety of fresh
produce, fish, meats, breads and spices, make the market
an ideal location to film a colorful authentic aspect of
Israeli life. There is never a quiet moment in the market,
as local vendors constantly shout their offerings and deals,
and beckon shoppers to their stalls. The market is made
up of a large outdoor section (most conducive for filming),
a smaller more cramped indoor section, and numerous small
alleys filled with shops and surprises. Additionally, the
market has recently become a hotspot for trendy restaurants
and cafes with regular jazz performances, attracting a wide
variety of people. For a concise representation of Jerusalem’s
charm and a portrait of ordinary Jerusalemites, the Mahane
Yehuda Market is a good film location choice.
