IL01: Jerusalem Highlights
We start the day at the top of Mt. of Olives for a view and a review of the city’s history.
Next we descend to the garden Gethsemane, and crossing the kidron valley we enter the Old City and join the “Via Dolorosa”
, walking through the streets of the old city up to the Holy Sepulchre
.
After a lunch + possible shopping break in the market of the old city, we continue to the Jewish Quarter and appreciate its synagogues and archaeological finds, including a visit to the Western wall
.
If there is time and desire, we can also go to a view towards Beth-Lehem from the hanging-olive-trees sculpture near kibbutz Ramat Rachel, and on the way back we pass by the parlaiment building (the “Knesset“); the Israel Museum
, and the Supreme Court Building.
