Jerusalem Highlights Tour from Herzliya
Description
Begin your Jerusalem Old City tour with a panoramic view of the iconic skyline from Mount Scopus, taking in sweeping vistas of the Old City walls and the gleaming Dome of the Rock. From there, descend toward the serene Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations, overlooking the Kidron Valley with its centuries-old monumental Jewish tombs. Continue past the Dormition Church on Mount Zion to visit the Room of the Last Supper and King David’s Tomb.
Enter the Old City through the 500-year-old Zion Gate and walk through the Armenian Quarter. In the Jewish Quarter, explore the ancient Byzantine Cardo and stop at the revered Western Wall. Follow the footsteps of Jesus along the Via Dolorosa to the magnificent Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a 4th-century masterpiece that holds the sites of the crucifixion, Christ’s burial tomb, and an array of sacred relics. Conclude your journey with free time in the vibrant and colorful Old City bazaar.
Note: On Mondays and Thursdays (except during Jewish holidays), the tour includes a visit to the Holocaust Museum instead of the Church of All Nations, King David’s Tomb, and the Room of the Last Supper on Mount Zion.
