Description

Before entering Jerusalem Old City we take in the view of Jerusalem’s skyline from the Mt. of Olives. We can see beyond the Old City walls to the Dome of the Rock. Descending the mount we pass the beautiful Garden of Gethsemane, Church of All Nations and Kidron Valley where there are centuries-old monumental Jewish tombs. We pass the Dormition Church and arrive on Mt. Zion. We visit the Room of the Last Supper and King David’s Tomb. We pass through the 500 year old Old City walls by way of the Zion Gate and into the Armenian Quarter. At the Jewish Quarter we see the Byzantine-era Cardo and stop at the sacred Western Wall. The tour retraces Jesus’ footsteps along the holy Via Dolorosa to the beautiful Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This ornate 4th century church holds the site of the crucifixion, Christ’s burial tomb and countless religious relics. Our final stop is at the colorful Old City bazaar.
