What to expect
City Of David National Park
Ma'alot Ir David, Jerusalem, 9710600, Israel
“Where it all began”: On the hill of the City of David, well below the Western Wall the City of Jerusalem was born thousands of years ago. This is where Bible and archaeology meet. It's a fascinating journey through mysteries from the past, from King David to Jesus of Nazareth, that take on a new and exciting dimension, and a panoramic view of ancient Jerusalem, these are just part of the experiences awaiting you at the site. Come and discover where Jerusalem was born!
Western Wall
Western Wall Plaza, Jewish Quarter, Jerusalem, 97500, Israel
The Western Wall is the closest location to the "Holiest of Hollies" of the Temple Mount for Jews to pray and has been the focus of Jewish prayer, hopes and dreams for hundreds of years. The sanctity is palatable.
Herodian Quarter/Wohl Archaeological Museum
Hakara'im Rd., Jerusalem, Israel
This museum is unique in its location - the basement of a residential building. It houses the archaeological remains of opulent villas from the 1st century AD most likely belonging to priests who served in the Temple in Jerusalem. Most importantly they bare witness to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70AD.
Jewish Quarter
Old City, Jerusalem, Israel
Scattered throughout the Jewish Quarter are archaeological time capsules from it's ancient and recent past. We will explore these site and slowly build the puzzle that makes up Jerusalem turbulent history.
Muslim Quarter
Old City, Jerusalem, Israel
Starting at a rooftop observatory of the entire Old City and a beautiful panoramic view of the Golden Dome, we will explore the connection of Jerusalem to Islam, we will walk through the Arab bazaar with its combination of site and sound, flavors and scents. It's also an opportunity for you to practice your negotiation skills, it is, after all, the Middle East.
Christian Quarter
Christian Quarter Road, Jerusalem, Israel
The Christian quarter holds many churches and steeples that represent the multifaceted world of Christianity, time permitting we will visit some "secret gems" scattered in it's alleys. But we will be sure to stop at the most important place in Christendom - The Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is revered by Christians around the world as one of the possible locations for the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus. Located in the Old City's Christian Quarter and managed by the Catholic, Orthodox, Armenian and Coptic Churches, it is considered by many 'the most important site in Christendom'.
Tower of David Museum of the History of Jerusalem
Jaffa Gate, Jerusalem, 9114001, Israel
Originally built by Herod the Great as his private palace in Jerusalem which became the seat of government for Roman prefects, Christian and Muslims kings and queens, the Citadel Museum is a treasure of layered history. It's galleries hold beautiful exhibits of different historical periods of the city, It's tallest tower holds a breathtaking 360 degree view of the old and new city, and it's recent excavations hold the secret to the possible location of the trial of Jesus at the hand of Pontius Pilate.
Jaffa Gate
Omar Ben El-Hatab St., Jerusalem, Israel
This is where we conclude our journey, at the cusp between old and new. Feel free to return to the old city markets for shopping or head into the new city markets and restaurants. Jerusalem has many more stories to tell. Enjoy!
