WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Mount Scopus National Botanical Garden
From the elevated position on the Mount Scopus we have a panoramic view of the Holy City of Jerusalem. We look out beyond the Jewish cemetery and beyond the Old City walls to Temple Mount, site of the Dome of the Rock.
2. Kidron Valley
Our drive along the Kidron Valley takes us past an ancient cemetery and at the foot of the mount we see the burial tombs of Absalom, King David's 3rd son; Zechariah, a First Temple priest and the tomb of the sons of Hezir.
3. Garden of Gethsemane
View the Garden of Gethsemane
4. Church of All Nations (Basilica of the Agony)
View of Church of All Nations
5. Mount Zion
We reach Mount Zion where we visit the Tomb of King David.
6. King David's Tomb
Visit the tomb is David's and see Within the tomb is David's cenotaph covered with a velvet cloth with embroidered symbols of a lyre and crown.
7. Old City of Jerusalem
We continue our tour into the Old City through the Zion Gate and into the Jewish Quarter where we see a complex of four Sephardic synagogues which date back to the 17th and 18th century. The Yochanan ben Zakai Synagogue, Istanbuli Synagogue, Emtsai Synagogue and the EliahuHa'Navi Synagogue were found desecrates, burnt and in disrepair when the Israelis reclaimed Jerusalem following the Six Day War.
8. The Cardo
Our next stop is at the Byzantine Cardo, once the main thoroughfare of the city, today we can see the findings of ongoing archaeological excavations and in part of the restored Cardo, ancient Crusader stores are used for modern shops.
9. Jewish Quarter
Through the Jewish Quarter we pass the excavated foundations of an ancient wall which stood 2,700 years ago during the reign of King Hezekiah. We go beneath the present day streets to discover the 2000 year old Herodian mansions. The original mosaics and the ritual bath can be seen clearly. The complex of mansions gives great insight into the lifestyle at that time.
10. Western Wall
We arrive at the Kotel, the 2000 year old Western Wall, once part of the outer walls of the Second Temple which stood on Temple Mount until the Temple's destruction in 70AD. Here you'll have a chance to place a prayer note between the stones of this ancient wall.
11. City of David National Park
We leave the Old City via the Dung Gate and enter the City of David to tour underground Jerusalem. This excavated city is believed to have been the original settlement in Jerusalem dating back 3,000 years. Ingenious subterranean tunnels were carved out of the rock to bring water from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam at the City of David. We pause at the Spring of Gihon before concluding the tour.
12. Gihon Spring
We pause at the Spring of Gihon before concluding the tour
13. The Four Sephardic Synagogues
In case the visit to one or more of the Spanish synagogues is not possible, we will visit the Hurva Synagogue instead. Finish the tour and return to your hotel.

The company is a little messy when it comes to communication and pick up information, but once you go on the tour is actually a good experience. We learned a lot! Be advice that is a lot of walking, I should say hiking! But it is so worth it! Tomuz was our tour guide, he is a very humble and kind young man. He made the tour interactive which made it more fun to learn! Go in this tour and learn more about all the religions in Jerusalem, King David’s life style and Judaism. I am glad we went!
