Sur Baher

Sur Baher (Arabic صور باهر, Hebrew צור באהר) is an Arab neighborhood on the eastern outskirts of Jerusalem. It is located southeast of Talpiot and north of the Har Homa neighborhood, down the hill from Kibbutz Ramat Rachel. After the Six-Day War in 1967, it was incorporated in the expanded boundaries of reunified Jerusalem. In 2006, Sur Baher had a population of 15,000.

In 2000, the Israeli government and Jerusalem municipality approved building plans for two new high schools and a youth center. In September 2005, the Jerusalem municipality, in cooperation with the Israel Defense Forces, cleared a Jordanian minefield in Sur Baher. The work, carried out by an Israeli company, was completed by October 2005.
