Description

Begin your day with an early morning pickup from your hotel or apartment in Tel Aviv. Travel in a private, air-conditioned car with free Wi-Fi to the biblical city of Jerusalem. Start with a breathtaking view of Jerusalem, seeing the Old City and the Temple Mount area. Imagine the Second Temple destroyed in 70 CE and Solomon’s Temple before that, destroyed in 586 BCE. As you drive along the Kidron Valley, see a fascinating view of Mount Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Church of All Nations, as well as the monumental ancient Jewish burial tombs. Enter the Old City from Mt. Zion, passing the Armenian Quarter to the excavated Byzantine Cardo. Continue through the Jewish Quarter to the Western Wall (Kotel), a two-thousand-year-old wall that is part of the encircling and supporting wall built by King Herod when the Temple Mount area was enlarged. Walk along the Via Dolorosa, joining pilgrims who are following the Stations of the Cross, ending at the Church of Holy Sepulchre, the church built over the place of the crucifixion of Jesus and the burial tomb. Originally built in the Byzantine period, it was partially destroyed during the Persians and Moslem conquests and then rebuilt and slightly altered by the Crusaders. After a short stroll through the marketplace, exit the Old City and continue to Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, commemorating both the annihilation of six million Jews and those righteous among the nations who endangered their lives while trying to save Jews.
