Here is the street map showing the Old City and the location of the Garden Tomb.  (Below the Garden Tomb you can see the Damascus Gate as shown in the previous picture of the Old City Gates.)

This area of the city is a Palestinian community.  Up until 1967 it was a part of Jordan.  Still considered part of the West Bank.  The area around the property is housing, shops and some schools.  On either side of the Garden Tomb are Arab bus stations.  Donna will be doing most of her shopping for bread, fruit and vegetables on sidewalk markets within a couple of blocks of "home".
