What to expect
Mt of Olives
Enjoy the iconic view of Jerusalem from atop Mt. of Olives. See the Old City and the Temple Mount from above. And don't forget to take a selfie with the Dome of the Rock, the famous Jerusalem's landmark on a background.
Walk along the olive trees in the Garden of Gethsemane, the place where Jesus spent his last night before getting arrested. How old are these trees? Do they really remember that day?
The Church of the Nations
Visit the Church of All Nations in the Garden of Gethsemane, the brilliant artwork of the architect Antonio Barluzzi. See the parts of the mosaic floor of the original Byzantine Church of the place, and the Stone of Agony in the Garden.
Look at the significant city walls of Jerusalem, the Tower of David and enter the Old City through its main gate. How old are these walls? Is the Tower of David really David's? And why is the most famous tomb in the world inside the city walls?
Old City of Jerusalem
Walk through the narrow streets of the Old City, its four historical quarters: Armenian, Jewish, Muslim and Christian, explore the colorful markets, take a break for lunch, fresh juice and souvenirs.
The Cardo
The main street of Roman and Byzantine Jerusalem will show you all the gems it hides. See the remains of city walls of the First and Second Temple's periods and walk along the 1500 years old street. Is there something unusual in the painting? And how Jerusalem looked like 1500 years ago? * The site is unavailable on Saturdays.
Jewish Quarter
The restored and survived parts of the quarter. See the restored Hahurva Synagogue and the model of the Golden Menorah.
Visit the complex of the Last Supper Room and King David's tomb, the survived part of the crusaders' church converted into a mosque and later into a synagogue. Why does it look so strange? What is the connection between pelicans and Jesus? And was King David really buried here?
The Wall! The most famous place in Jerusalem, its heart and soul. The only place in the world where you can directly speak with God. It is the most sacred place for all Jewish people (is it really?) and the location of many important events. Don't forget to stick your note between its stones!
The Way of the Cross - Via Dolorosa
Walk along the part of the Way of the Cross, the traditional way of Jesus to the place of crucifixion.
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
Visit the most sacred place for every Christian in the world, the church is built over the places of Jesus crucifixion and resurrection. Step on the Golgotha, see the Chapel of Nailing and the chapel of the Crucifixion, touch the top of Calvary. See the Stone of Unction where the Jesus dead body was cleaned and anointed with oil. Visit Rotunda with the Aedicule of the Holy Sepulchre and descend beneath the church to the Chapel of St. Helena to see the place of recovering of the True Cross. And also. How can six different Christian denominations manage the church together? And what would happen if to move the wooden ladder?
