Ein Karem, Biblical neighborhood in southwest Jerusalem, Israel.
Ein Karem spreads across hills with stone buildings, traditional houses, churches, and monasteries connected by narrow paths and stone staircases.
Archaeological evidence from the Bronze Age, including pottery near the spring, confirms continuous settlement in Ein Karem through different historical periods.
The Church of Saint John the Baptist and the Church of the Visitation mark locations central to Christian narratives about John the Baptist's birth.
Visitors can reach Ein Karem by taking bus number 28 from Jerusalem central station, with multiple stops near main religious sites.
Mary's Spring, a water source used since ancient times, remains a central landmark where local residents gathered water until the mid-20th century.
