Step by Step

Join this tour and travel by bus through the holy city of Jerusalem. The tour will last approximately 8 hours, during which you will be accompanied by an expert guide who will take you to some of the most important holy sites of Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

You will begin the tour by visiting the Western Wall, the holiest site of the Jewish religion. The Wall is the only remaining remnant of the ancient Temple in Jerusalem, which was destroyed by the Romans after the Judean uprisings of 70 AD, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora.

You will also visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a site sacred to Christianity, located on the spot where Jesus is believed to have been buried and resurrected. It is an imposing church dating back to the 4th century, and is visited by thousands of pilgrims every year. Inside the church is the Garden Tomb, the exact resting place of Christ's body.

Afterwards, you will go to the Dome of the Rock, a temple built in the 7th century where, according to Islamic tradition, Muhammad ascended to heaven . The site is considered one of the main holy sites of Islam, and its dome is known as a symbol of the city of Jerusalem.

Finally, you will end your day at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust History Museum in New Jerusalem. Here, you will learn about the tragedy of the Holocaust through exhibits documenting the history of this dark period in human history. You will learn about the hardships endured by those imprisoned in the concentration camps and discover the story of heroes who risked their lives to save Jews persecuted by the Nazis.

At the end of the activity, you will be taken back to the original starting point, ensuring that you can enjoy the activity in the most comfortable and relaxed way possible.

    A beautiful walk, my partner and I got to know the famous Western Wall and its history, in fact the history of the whole of Jurasalen, which in itself is a very spiritual place. You can feel it in the atmosphere as well as in the people who live there. Really a very good experience.
