ITINERARY
- We will visit the Temple Mount in Jerusalem which is a real highlight. We will understand how this location is important for Christian, Jews and Muslim. The tour can also talk about Geo-Politics of the area
- One option is to walk along the Via Dolorosa, the route that Jesus took from where he receives his cross until the place of the crucifixion.
- The Western Wall is considered holy due to its connection to the Temple Mount. Because of the Temple Mount entry restrictions, the Wall is the holiest place where Jews are permitted to pray, though the holiest site in the Jewish faith lies behind it.
- The City of David is an archaeological site that reveals the birth place of Jerusalem. The City of David gives its visitors a rare opportunity to experience ancient Jerusalem and watch ancient stories take shape and come to life before their eyes.
- The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is the most sacred site in the world for millions of Christians. This if the site of the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus. ... During its early days in the Byzantine era, it was larger and known as “The Resurrection Church”, commemorating Jesus' rise from the dead.
- Among the important sites and landmarks on Mount Zion are the Room of the Last Supper, King David’s Tomb, the Chamber of the Holocaust and the Dormition Abbey is located here.
- In the movie Schindler's List, The jews pay their respects to their savior by placing rocks on his grave, the traditional Jewish way to honor the dead. Any visitor to Jerusalem can do the same by visiting the grave site, inside the Catholic cemetery on the slopes of Mount Zion. The headstone, which reads in German “the unforgettable life saver of 1200 persecuted Jews,” is stacked high with rocks, a poignant reminder of the respect Schindler has inspired among Jews and non-Jews alike.
- The Armenian presence in Jerusalem dates back to the 4th century AD, when Armenia adopted Christianity as a national religion and Armenian monks settled in Jerusalem. We will visit a church and an option to visit an Armenian Pottery Shop
