Estimated return: 19:00

Tour in the Old City

We shall start our tour at an observation point on Mt. Scopus overlooking the Judean desert.

From there we'll descend along the Mt. of Olives to the Gethsemane Church. According to history, this is where Jesus spent his last night.

We'll enter the Old City via the Zion Gate, walk over to the Jewish Quarter and visit the Western Wall.

Church of the Holy Sepulchre 

Following the Davidson Center, we will make our way via the Byzantine Cardo to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

The site is believed to be the place where Jesus was crucified, and is said also to contain the place where Jesus was buried (the Sepulchre).

The church has been a paramount pilgrimage destination since at least the 4th century, as the purported site of the resurrection of Jesus.

Towards the end of the tour we will walk along the way of the cross (Via Dolorosa), and through the markets – where you'll have free time for shopping.
