Description

this Jerusalem Full Day Tour with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city’s skyline from Mount Scopus, overlooking the golden Dome of the Rock, the ancient walls, and the blend of old and new Jerusalem. We then descend toward the Old City, entering through the Zion Gate, part of the magnificent 500-year-old Ottoman walls that encircle the ancient heart of Jerusalem. Strolling through the Armenian Quarter, we absorb the rich heritage of one of the city’s oldest Christian communities before continuing into the Jewish Quarter. Here, we see the Cardo, the main street of Byzantine Jerusalem, once bustling with shops and traders, now beautifully restored. Next, we arrive at the Western Wall (the Kotel), the holiest site in Judaism and a deeply moving place of prayer and reflection. From there, the tour follows the path of Via Dolorosa, the route Jesus is believed to have walked on the way to his crucifixion. Along the way, we pass the Stations of the Cross and reach the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a magnificent 4th-century church that contains both the site of the crucifixion (Golgotha) and the tomb of Jesus. After exploring the church, we wander through the vibrant Old City bazaar, filled with colorful stalls, spices, souvenirs, and the sounds and scents of centuries-old trade. Leaving the Old City, we visit the Garden of Gethsemane, where ancient olive trees still grow, and the beautiful Church of All Nations, which stands beside it. From here, we enjoy a view across the Kidron Valley, dotted with monumental Jewish tombs that date back over two millennia. Finally, the tour passes by the Dormition Abbey on Mount Zion, the site traditionally associated with the Virgin Mary’s eternal rest, before visiting the Room of the Last Supper (Cenacle), where Jesus shared his final meal with his disciples, and King David’s Tomb, one of Jerusalem’s most significant spiritual landmarks. * On Mondays and Thursdays (except during Jewish holidays), the tour includes a visit to the Holocaust Museum instead of the Church of All Nations at the Garden of Gethsemane, King David’s Tomb, and the Hall of the Last Supper on Mount Zion.
