Embark on an engaging day trip from Jerusalem, immersing yourself in the city's rich historical tapestry by exploring its most renowned attractions. Begin at the Mount of Olives, where you can marvel at the Wailing Wall, a testament to Jewish prayer and heritage. Next, proceed to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a site of significant religious importance. Conclude your journey with a visit to Yad Vashem, honoring the memory of Holocaust victims. This comprehensive tour offers a unique opportunity to appreciate Jerusalem's spiritual and cultural significance while gaining insights into its complex past.



The tours offered cover both Arabic and Hebrew language experiences, immersing visitors in the rich tapestry of Jerusalem's ancient and sacred sites. A full-day excursion begins with a morning pickup from your accommodation, leading to a breathtaking panorama of the city.

Upon arrival at Mount of Olives, participants enjoy a panoramic view before proceeding to Mount Zion. Here, they explore the historic locations of King David's Tomb, the Room of the Last Supper, and the Dormition Abbey. As they enter the Old City, they traverse the Armenian and Jewish quarters, making their way to the recently excavated and restored Cardo (also known as the Roman Road). They then proceed to the Jewish Wailing Wall (Kotel), followed by the Christian Quarter, where they walk along the Via Dolorosa and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

In the New City, tourists can admire the Memorial to the Holocaust at Yad Vashem, which hosts events throughout the year. On select days, including April 9, 15, 20, 29; May 29; September 19, 20, and 27, 2020, the tour itinerary is adjusted to visit Ein Karem instead of Yad Vashem.
