Private Guide Israel: Jerusalem

Jerusalem

We start with a stunning panoramic view of the old city from Mount of Olives Viewpoint . This is one of the most beautiful observation points in Israel. It enables a short introduction, a photo opportunity, - and even a camel ride .

Driving down to the Kidron Valley we will pass by several holy Christian sites, such as the Chapel of the Ascension , the church of Pater Noster , Dominus Flevit , Garden of Gethsemane , the Grotto of Gethsemane and Mary’s Tomb .

We then drive around the Old City , and entering at Jaffa Gate, we start exploring it.

In the Jewish Quarter we walk along the Roman period Cardo , pass by the Burnt House and the Hurva Synagogue , to reach the famed Western Wall .

We then continue into the Muslim Quarter , and join the Via Dolorosa , the traditional path from the site of the trial of Jesus to the site of his crucifixion. Assessing the Catholic traditions along the way, we enter the Christian Quarter, and reach the Holy Sepulchre , a complex built over the traditional sites of Golgotha and the Tomb of Jesus.

Grabbing a Hummus lunch along the way, we can also appreciate souvenir shopping in the big Suq (market) at the end of the tour (e.g. Photo Elia ).

Happy and tired we return to the car at Mamilla , and if driving back to Tel-Aviv, we can pass by the “Capitol Hill” in west Jerusalem, where we can see the Parliament Building (the “Knesset“), the Israel Museum , the Supreme Court Building, and the Chords Bridge.
