- Start the tour program by visiting the Armenian Quarter, located in the southwest section of the Old City and is home to the Armenian Patriarchate, the St. James Cathedral, and the Armenian Museum, which houses a collection of artefacts and manuscripts dating back to the 14th century. The quarter is also known for its architecture, including Armenian ceramics and stone buildings.
- Then, head to the Jewish Quarter, located in the southeast section of the Old City and is home to many important sites for Judaism, including the Western Wall, the Hurva Synagogue, and the Cardo, a major thoroughfare during ancient times. The quarter also boasts several shops and restaurants that cater to the local Jewish community and tourists.
- Next, proceed to the Christian Quarter, located in the northwest section of the Old City and is home to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which is the most sacred site in the Christian world. The quarter is also home to a number of other important churches and sites, including the Church of St. Anne, the Pool of Bethesda, and the Via Dolorosa, which is believed to be the path that Jesus walked on his way to his crucifixion.

The church is believed to be built on the site where Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected. The church's architecture and artwork date back to the 12th century and include elements from the Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic periods. Visitors can also see the Stone of Unction, which is believed to be the place where Jesus' body was prepared for burial, and the Holy Sepulcher itself, which is the tomb where Jesus was buried.
