Old Jerusalem from Jaffa Gate to the Holy Sepulchre

  • Start at Jaffa Gate and, after taking a look at the new city, walk toward Zion Gate and Mount Zion, where we visit David's Tomb and the Room of the Last Supper.

  • Continue to the Jewish Quarter and the Roman Cardo. Upon request, we can also visit the nearby Hurva Synagogue and hear its fascinating history. There, we can enjoy a nice rooftop view over the Jewish Quarter. Then walk to the Broad Wall, a remnant of Hezekiah's wall built 2,700 years ago in defence against the Assyrians.

  • Stop in the Jewish Quarter to eat or have coffee.

  • The next stop is the Western Wall, the retaining wall of the Temple Mount built by Herod more than 2,000 years ago.

  • Upon request and subject to availability, we can ascend to the Temple Mount (limited visiting hours) to see the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock from up close. Entry for non-Muslims is strictly forbidden.

  • Visit the Muslim Quarter to see some of the magnificent Mamluk architecture and enter the Souq (market).

  • Follow the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
