About this experience

Experience Jerusalem on an unforgettable full-day journey, where ancient history and living faith come to life.
Begin with a breathtaking panoramic view from Mount Scopus, then enter the Old City through the Zion Gate to explore the Armenian and Jewish Quarters. Discover the Byzantine Cardo, pause at the sacred Western Wall, and follow the Via Dolorosa to the magnificent Church of the Holy Sepulchre, believed to be the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and tomb.
Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the Old City bazaar, then visit the peaceful Garden of Gethsemane and the beautiful Church of All Nations, overlooking the Kidron Valley. End your tour on Mount Zion, with stops at the Dormition Abbey, the Room of the Last Supper, and King David’s Tomb.
