DescriptionSheikh Badr and Jerusalem Convention Center from the air.jpg
English: An aerial picture of the Sheikh Badr neighbourhood (top half) and the Jerusalem Convention Center (Binyenei HaUma) shortly after completion, circa 1960. At the time, the Arab Sheikh Badr neighbourhood was used as the head office of the state of Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the 2000's the remaining houses of Sheikh Badr were completely demolished and a new housing development, Mishkenot Ha'uma, built in its place.
עברית: אזור בנייניי האומה ושייח' באדר בשנות ה-60, זמן קצר לאחר השלמת המבנה ולפני הקמת מלון הילטון הסמוך. בתי שייח' באדר שימושו באותה עת את משרד החוץ, בין הבתים הערבים נבנו במהירות בשנות ה-50 מבנים חד קומתיים בבנייה טרומית (בחלק העליון של התמונה). בנייניי האומה הורחבו בשנות ה-90 על שטח מגרש החנייה. כל אזור שייח' באדר ו"מתחם משרד החוץ" נהרס בשנות ה-2000 לטובת הקמת פרויקט "משכנות האומה".
