Mount Scopus name is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word "harsofim" (to look over), as it is one of the few places from which can be seen both The Dead Sea and the Dome of the Rock. It has consequently always been seen in terms of military importance; Titus, the First Crusade and General Allenby all used the place to pitch camp. Today about 3,000 of Allenby's troops continue to look over the city from their impeccable cemetery.
The Hebrew University was founded here in 1925, and from 1948 to 1967 it was an Israeli enclave in Jordan. After 1967 the University and its hospital were refounded and now dominate the skyline.
Stunning views.
