An acknowledged guide will meet you in the hotel lobby, and you will go on an interesting tour. During this tour, you will see almost all the sights of Jerusalem. On your way, the guide will narrate to you a concise history of the city.

You will discover many exciting features and true facts from the stories of a licensed guide. You will find out all the unusual things and secrets of the Old City. Entering the Old City through the Zion Gate, you pass the Armenian Quarter on your way to the Jewish Quarter and the very old Byzantine Cardo.

The next stop is the famous Western Wall, the part of the western retaining wall of the Temple Mount, it was built by Herod the Great during his expansion of the Temple in 20 BCE. The wall acts as an outdoor synagogue, with written prayers inserted into the crevices between the large stones.

Then you will follow along the Via Dolorosa, also known as the Way of the Cross. Jesus walked along this way from the place where he was sentenced to the location of the crucifixion, and many pilgrims chose to walk it as well, stopping at various stations.

This road will lead you to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, one of the most significant pilgrimage sites for Christians because it was built on the site where Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose from the dead.

The tour ends near the Jaffa Gate, from where you can continue your walk around Jerusalem.
