I will pick you up at your hotel and we will drive through the plain and hills to Jerusalem. We will visit all the major religious sites of the Old City with an emphasis on sites of your choice. PLEASE NOTE that the times allocated to each site will be determined by yourself. And, yes, , we have time for prayer and reflection!
We will drive through the plain and up the mountain to Jerusalem. I will point out many sites mentioned in the Bible and throughout history (Joshua, Crusades, Israeli Arab wars)
After parking the SUV we will stand on Mamila Road and get our bearings and an introduction. We will enter the Old City and, at your discretion and pace we will visit sites such as the Western Wall, Via Dolorosa, Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Four Synagogues, the Hurva, the Room of the Last Supper, King David’s Tomb
We will walk through the four Quarters and Mt. Zion. There are also the Western Wal Tunnels and Hezekiah Water tunnel and City od David-Davidson Center tunnel to consider.
We will leave the Old City and start our drive back to your hotel. Trip will take 1-1.5 hours
