                        JERUSALEM (AFP) - 
Lights in the Old City of Jerusalem will be turned off before dawn this week so visiting US <SPAN id="lw_1199818379_0" class="yshortcuts">President George W. Bush</SPAN> can get a better view of the sun rising over its ancient walls.

Bush, who arrives in the <SPAN id="lw_1199818379_1" class="yshortcuts">Middle East</SPAN> on Wednesday for a visit lasting more than a week, had made a request to watch the sun rise over the Old City from his suite at the <SPAN id="lw_1199818379_2" class="yshortcuts">King David Hotel</SPAN>, a municipal spokesman said on Tuesday.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080108/od_afp/mideastdiplomacyoffbeat_080108184458">
To make the scene more dramatic, the authorities have decided to turn off the lights illuminating the limestone walls before dawn on Thursday and Friday, the spokesman told reporters.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080108/od_afp/mideastdiplomacyoffbeat_080108184458">
The gesture is just one of several that Bush's Israeli hosts will extend to the president of their main ally during his landmark three-day visit this week -- the first by a sitting US president to Israel and the Palestinian territories in nine years.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080108/od_afp/mideastdiplomacyoffbeat_080108184458"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/news.yahoo.com/img/73147956-EF14-40A8-A445-3B7BF3ABFECD" alt="A general view of Jerusalem's old city and the golden Dome of the Rock mosque.
