The Haas Promenade is one of the best places to start a tour of Jerusalem. The promenade – popularly known in Hebrew as "the Tayelet" – actually comprises several walkways: the Walter and Elise Haas Promenade, the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Promenade and the Gabriel Sherover Promenade (See also Dani'el Yanovski St). The high ridge along which the promenades run lies to the south of the city. Today is called Armon Hanetziv – the palace of the commissioner – for the residence built here by the British in the 1930s as the home of the High Commissioner. In 1948, the British left the High Commissioner's Residence to the Red Cross, but it was later handed over the UN observers, who still use it today.12

Rawabi is located near Birzeit and Ramallah. The master plan drawn up for the high-tech city, envisages 6,000 housing units, housing a population of between 25,000 and 40,000 people, spread across six neighborhoods. Construction began in January 2010. By 2014, 650 family apartments housing an estimated 3,000 people had been completed and sold, but could not be occupied while negotiations over supplying the city with water, which had dragged on for some years, languished.4
