Description:
Enjoy an all-encompassing day tour through ancient and modern Jerusalem. Take in a panoramic view of the city from the Mount of Olives, and visit highlights of both the Old City and the New City. Allow your guide to enlighten you on the area's diverse history as you explore all Jerusalem has to offer.
Begin your full-day exploration of Jerusalem with a drive up the Mount of Olives, not only a fine viewpoint but also an important Jewish cemetery. Enter the Old City through the Jaffa Gate and proceed to the Armenian and Jewish Quarters before arriving at the recently excavated and restored Cardo, the Roman road.
The Wailing Wall, or Kotel, has stood for centuries and is a significant site of pilgrimage for those of the Jewish faith. Visit a site of Christian pilgrimage too, at the Church of Holy Sepulchre, as you learn about Jerusalem's role as a religious landmark from your guide.
Following some free time at lunch, explore the New City, heading to Israel's parliament building and the Yad Vashem—a memorial to the holocaust. As you complete the tour, reflect on Jerusalem's fascinating past and observe the convergence of 3 major faiths in one holy city.
