The Muslim Quarter is one of the four quarters of the ancient, walled Old City of Jerusalem, the other three being the Jewish Quarter, the Christian Quarter and the Armenian Quarter. The Muslim Quarter is the largest and most populous of the four quarters and is situated in the northeastern corner of the Old City, extending from the Lions' Gate in the east, along the northern wall of the Temple Mount in the south, to the Damascus Gate - Western Wall route in the west. The Via Dolorosa road starts in the quarter.[1]

The population of the Muslim Quarter is 22,000.<ref name="WCC" /> The Like the other three quarters of the Old City, the Muslim quarter had a mixed population of Jews as well as Muslims and Christians until the riots of 1929. Today 60 Jewish settler families live in the Muslim Quarter, and a few yeshivot are located there. The main one is Yeshivat Ateret Cohanim

On July 27, 2005, Israeli planners approved the construction of a Jewish settlement in the Muslim Quarter, a few meters from the Al-Aqsa Mosque. It will contain thirty apartments on three dunums of land.[2]
