Nir > Almost a walking distance away is the Ultra Orthodox Jewish community of Telz-Stone, and the 'atheist' Jewish communities of Kibbutz Kiryat-Yaarim and Kibbutz Maale-HaChamisha. A half kilometer away is the settlement Yad-HaShmona, established by Finish Christians. One kilometer to the West the Jewish settlement Neve-Ilan. On the horizon to the East, Jerusalem, sacred to Moslems, Christians and Jews.                  

The road besides the local mosque is blocked by Moslem worshipers when the mosque is full.
