We enter Jerusalem through the Zion Gate, and walk to the holiest site in the whole Jewish world, the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) of Herod's temple. Beyond the wall lies the 35-acre temple area purchased by King David (2 Sam. 24:18-25). On this site now stands the magnificent Dome of the Rock (the third holiest shrine in all Islam) and the El-Aksa Mosque.

Our sightseeing tour also includes a short drive and visit to the Garden Tomb. Dinner and overnight in Jerusalem.

Ascending the area by cable car, visitors are able to survey the ruins of the fortifications, waterworks, synagogue, temples and palaces. Time permitting; a special stop at the Dead Sea (also referred to as the lowest spot on the earth) for a short swim/float. Please be sure to bring water/closed end shoes, as the bottom surface can be rough. If time and conditions permit, a short visit to Jericho may be included. Dinner and overnight in Jerusalem.
