In its thousands of years of history, Jerusalem, a place of major importance to three main religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam, has seen countless conquests and destruction, triumphs and disasters. An experienced guide will give you a taste of some of the most important places. Discover sites such as ‘The Western Wall’, the holiest site in Judaism; The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus was crucified and see a view of the impressive Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam. These places are located in the ‘Old City’, an extraordinary walled city, filled with unique buildings, narrow passageways, bustling markets and a mix of cultures and languages.
Outside the walls of the Old City lies modern-day Jerusalem, a vibrant and dynamic place filled with bustling restaurants, cafés, and cultural life.
