We will open the day with climbing to the Mount of Olives, a place that has traditionally been a cemetery for the Jews of the Land of Israel. From there we can see the fascinating beauty of Jerusalem and the Old City.

From the mountain we will continue walking toward the Gardens of Gethsemane in order to visit the place where Jesus was arrested. We will continue walking through the Kidron Valley and enter the Old City through the famous Zion Gate. From the gate, we will start walking towards the decorated Armenian Quarter, which is spectacularly beautiful due to traditional construction that has been preserved for hundreds of years.

We will continue towards the lively Jewish Quarter through the Byzantine Cardo, a place that used to be the main shopping center of Jerusalem and today preserves this character and includes shops and stalls selling various products. We will visit the last remnant of the Jewish Temple – the Western Wall, which considered the holiest place for the Jewish people today. There will be free time in the Western Wall plaza to absorb some sanctity and the atmosphere of this place. We will see many Jews from all over the world who are excited when they come to this site and place notes with wishes in the cracks between the stones of the wall.

Continue with the private guide to the Christian Quarter. We will walk on the stones of the Via Dolorosa until we reach the Holy Sepulcher Church which is located above the famous tomb of Jesus. We will not leave the city before we stroll through the market and the various shops and buy souvenirs as we wish.

From there, to the lowest point in the world – the Dead Sea.
