Guests will be picked up from their hotels in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in the morning. The tour will begin with a scenic view from the top of the
Mount of Olives, which overlooks the
Temple Mount. Then, we will make our way down
Kidron Valley to the
Garden of Gethsemane. Next, we will enter the old city by way of the
Armenian Quarter, heading directly to the
Wailing Wall.
Cutting through the local bazaar, we will enter the Christian Quarter, where we will follow the path of the Stations of the Cross until we reach the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, rumored to be the site of the crucifixion of Jesus. From here, we will walk along the old Byzantine main street until we reach the Cardo, the old Roman road that will take us into the newly-renovated Jewish Quarter. Our tour of Jerusalem's old city will end around 1:30pm, at which time guests will be returned to their Jerusalem and Tel Aviv hotels. Please see "Departure and Return" for more detailed information regarding pickup and drop-off.
